| Well Parti Peanut - sure sounds like a great idea. However, the way things are going - Charlie will just grab the newspaper from my hand and chase me around the house! If the "fly swatter" doesn't work - we will try the "rolled newspaper" approach. If that doesn't work - I will buy a shovel! Thanks for the suggestion.

| Yea, we are dreading the drive matese. His screaming isn't near as bad with him in the back seat (pet booster seat) now. When he was sitting next to me in his Tote (on the wife's lap) - it was just tooooooo loud! We went out twice yesterday. The morning trip (about 20 minutes one way) he was pretty quiet and only whined a few times but no screaming UNTIL we hit the parking lot. After we left the shopping center - he screamed all the way home. Our second trip was met with screaming both ways. On the way home yesterday, the wife and I decided to "scream" along with him - he stops - looks confused - realizes what we are doing and goes right back to screaming. Got me thinking here - his screaming always stops when I take him in the store with us or step out of the car. The wife mentioned yesterday that it is very noticeable - the moment I step out of the car - he stops - when the wife steps out of the car he continues screaming? In order to take him in the store with us I have to step out of the car - hmmm. When I pull into my favorite coffee stop (wife still stays in car while I get a cup to go) - he stops when I open the door and exit. When I wait for the wife (while she runs into a store) he keeps screaming - I just open the door and step out of the car and come right back and sit down - he stops screaming. Dang - I wonder what that is all about? If I could figure out a way of stepping out of the car while it is moving and get back in - hey, I might have a solution!

| Have you considered contacting a trainer for obedience training? They may have a solution or ideas on what is going on & how to stop this behavior. I feel for ya. I applaud you for your patience. The things we do for these little furbabies we love. Praying for a solution for you all.

| Thanks LuvMyFurkidz for your reply. Funny, the wife ran into a pet shop and picked up some stuff AND a flyer for class obedience training as well as one-on-one. We are considering going the one-on-one and see what happens. If we do - will update this thread as well. Again, thanks for the suggestion.

| This is probably a ridiculous suggestion, but what about trying earplugs and simply ignoring little Charlie when his inner banshee comes out...? Piper hates being ignored; below is my response when I asked advice about stopping 'demand' barking (I remain very grateful to YorkietalkJilly!) YorkietalkJilly~~Thank you for suggesting I leave room, as it quiets Piper; I can see her wheels turning and though it may take a couple of times, she gets the message and most assuredly does not like being ignored or left alone!! I must say (my place is very small) that I found myself shaking my head and smiling as I "hid" in my, also very small, bathroom. Wait-What??! She has the run of the place while I'm "trapped" in the bathroom???? The things we do and go through for our little lamb chops and I wouldn't change a thing!! I find such joy in having Piper--even laughing at myself trying to train her! Thanks again! "Dogs love company. They place it first on their short list of needs." |

| Thanks for the suggestion Jkpal. We pretty much ignore him the best we can seeing that everything else hasn't worked. On occasion we leave him home when necessary. We leave him blocked off in a large recreation room with door looking outside and a straight view to the garage door that we leave from (has his pee pad, water, toys, etc.) and even leave the TV on so he has some sounds. He also has his little sitting cushion on the couch, etc. The only difference is we aren't home. I also installed a NestCam so I can monitor him from my phone. He barks the entire time and even howls which is hilarious to watch. He goes constantly, stops to rest a few minutes and then starts up again. Many times we are gone for two or more hours - he just goes and goes and goes with more rest times in between! I told the wife at this stage - let him bark and howl until his throats hurts - maybe he will figure it out. Now, he is the perfect pet when we are home and when he is in his Tote Bag shopping with us - yea, we do have a monster. Right now he is sitting on his little cushion watching TV with the wife - unreal! He just about has us completely trained!

| Truth be told, it didn't take me long to understand that the more we did things Piper's way, the happier our home. I think Piper is rather proud that I caught on so quickly...arrgghh! I can just picture Charlie (another lil' dictator) ensconced on his cushion-y throne, watching tv! He is a little love for sure!!! |

Also, I have to be very quiet right now. Why? Charlie is STILL in the bedroom, under the covers sleeping so I don't want to piss him off by waking him up - talk about a life!
