Attachment 408782Well, Charlie is still screaming as we enter a parking lot. So, let's see....

Can with coins - Charlie just laughed....
Spray bottle (with water) - Charlie thought it was raining...
First Alert Bark Genie Handheld Bark Control - Charlie thought it was funny...
Pet Corrector Pet Behavioral Training Aid - Charlie said "really?"...

I'm more and more convinced that Charlie and Buddybear are cousins!!! Or brothers from a different mother!

Buddybear has started screaming at the groomers.........upsetting the other dogs and all the owners. Nothing has happened either place, home or groomers, for him to start this. This groomer has been awesome with him from day one. She even told me 3 visits ago how wonderful he was doing, now screaming at the top of his lungs and throwing himself off the table or at least trying to. "Behaving Badly" might be his new name. :-(
Please tell me it's going to get better!

Attachment 408783I can feel your pain! Charlie was fantastic in the car - just watched life go by and then all of a sudden the parking lot screaming started. Yes - they are cousins...

Attachment 408795Dang it Jkpal! I caught Charlie on the phone line with Piper talking about their human training experiences! :shocked7q

Ah so cute! Congrats!

I check this thread everyday because I can hardly wait to see the antics or Piper, Charlie & BuddyBear! I have to say they are all very amusing and too darn cute! The humor y'all put with it is priceless! :love: love this thread!

Attachment 408805Just caught Charlie on the phone with Buddybear this time! I just took away Charlie's telephone privileges - will let you know when he stops screaming!

On the bright side, today Pipe actually ate half-a-handful of savory crunchy tidbits (please, not to say dog chow)...So let's see, having invested in about $70 of various, you know what, in the last ten days, she has eaten less than a cup and I'm just over the moon. Can't quite put my finger on what, exactly, is skewed here--best if I don't think about it. Thank heavens for you guys, cuz if I ever admitted this kinda thing to my non-yorkie people...well, their screaming might rival that of Charlie's!!![/COLOR][/FONT][/QUOTE]

Yep, been there done that as the saying goes! I just gave away "another"grocery bag size of doggie treats/ dog food.......this was the 2nd or 3rd bag as I'm loosing count.......and I'm not giving it away to the same people as I don't want my friends to know how Untrained I am, lol.:confused:
I have not caught Buddybear on the phone with Charlie but that doesn't mean it isn't happening! I'm a little hard of hearing and Buddybear does know how to whisper so anything is possible. Please tell Charlie to encourage Buddybear to Please ride in the stroller without a fuss. His 'peps' spent a lot of money on this contraption plus the time it took to put together.:D
We're looking forward to Charlies report on when he gets his own stroller. Lol.

Attachment 408992Charlie was shopping but stopped to look for Piper and BuddyBear!

omigosh...that is such a cuuuute picture!! Oh Charlie...

Oh Charlie, you look adorable in your stroller! So calm and relaxed and having such a good time. You could give Buddybear lessons on how to ENJOY the ride.

I had to put both leads on Buddybear so he couldn't jump out. This was After the romp in the grass so he would be worn out,,,,,,,no such luck.

My house cleaning woman used to be a groomer, so she tried to help clip Buddybears nails.....oh my goodness, he tried to bite, so I called for DH, who had to hold his head while I tried to control his body. . . . Yep, Mommy is going to get rolled up newspapers in every room of the house. This nonsense has got to Stop.....we're going back to brushing twice a day and the new experiment of just sitting in the car every day, not going anywhere, just sitting, maybe a little soft elevator music for two weeks.

This BAD behavior is mommy's fault of course. She never put up with this type of thing out of her two now grown sons many many many years ago!!!! She's gotten soft in her old age....lol, the tables are starting to turn. . . Ohhhhh I can SEE changes coming.
Daddy can't help you now!!!!!!!!

Attachment 408998And he knows it!
Attachment 408998He does enjoy the ride. The stroller lets him have a 360 view and he loves that. Always quiet - just a good shopper.
Attachment 408998We are lucky - Charlie loves to travel. Unfortunately, the barking and screaming when we come into a parking lot or a busy intersection drives us crazy! Still hoping age will take care of that mode.
Attachment 408998Dang that must have been funny!
Attachment 408998Beats me but he sure is a babs magnet!:)

Omgoodness........

Boy, I bet your wife appreciates that!!!!!!:p

LOL Piper, my son works for Wal-Mart security,loss prevention here in AZ. I'll ask him if they have a contest to see "crazy videos" of possible thefts in progress.:confused: This especially cracks me up after listening to some of the stories he's told us.

Oh lord, and you gotta know this would be the one time in my life I'd actually win something...!

Attachment 409024Actually, she was the one that said that to me...Unfortunately, I get a bunch of men wanting to pet him as well.:)

Attachment 409070Well, starting today - we will no longer be taking Charlie with us shopping. Unfortunately, his barking seems to be getting worse (louder) to a point that I actually get a headache. Otherwise, he is a fantastic puppy. It is sad though - when he see's us getting ready to leave - his jumps into his little travel bag. We wish we could communicate with him and explain why we will no longer be taking him but just can't seem to get him to stop screaming at intersections and parking lots. When he is in his barking fit - you can't even try to pick him up - he is simply in his own world and goes crazy.:(

It might be for the better. Sounds like the intersections and parking lots are causing little Charlie to be way too over stressed. If it can't be corrected, it's better to be avoided :)

So sorry for Charlie!!! And for his mommy and daddy. Big Bummer!!!!

Attachment 409072Yea, the wife and I thought the same thing. Obviously, something is really bothering him and it is selfish for us to try and force him to adjust.
Attachment 409072What is meant to be will be...

Well, I try to take Scottie everywhere we go, but we have to leave Scottie at home when we go to church. Hehe.. he gradually started doing more and more low growls with each time he went. Last we wanted was a loud bark in the middle of church when it's so quiet and only the pastor is speaking lol
We couldn't force religion on him :D

Attachment 409073I understand completely! The strange thing is he never barked for months - all of a sudden - he started going nuts. Same car, same places, same parking lots, same intersections but something changed. We were hoping something would "change" again and he would stop. We still hold out hope for down the road though...
