All of a sudden Charlie going nuts in car! - Page 8 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Check out Cesar Milan's "dog whisper" sight and ask this question! Probably you have reinforced this behavior by comforting him when he was adgitated and now he thinks it is ok. What I have learned from Cesar is to reward good behavior and stay calm when my pups are displaying anxious behavior, if you grab him and try to pet or love him during the inappropriate behavior you are re-enforcing your puppy to think it is ok!

Wow, you make me thrilled Mario is not much of a barker, and we put a quick halt to it when he started barking. Him being a service dog, barking, whining, or growling are not allowed in public, so wow am I glad he was never was much of a barker and easy to stop when he did start.

Other than providing some good laughs, you also make those of with quieter dogs appreciate them more. That is good, right? Almost a consolation? Well, I tried.........

Charlie is a one whistle wonder, he is...and just too dang smart! But you know, no matter his antics, I'm just loving this guy and rank myself way up there in his fan club. Piper has that same determination and will-of-iron. Though she love, love, loves chicken jerky (got her to return to me once by calling her--not by name, but yelling 'chicken jerky, c'mon chicken jerky' Really??). If however, after accepting bit of jerky, she perceives I'm going to do something she considers inexcusably bad (i.e. go to work), she'll drop jerky, drop her little noggin, tuck her little tail, give me one last truly woebegone look, and will disappear under couch...where you'll find her sitting against the wall and to complete the effect...her downward little dome is facing the d&^% wall; Nothing dramatic about my girl. Below is the look that has me apologizing to Piper--no matter her transgression!

Yorkie "Terriers" the operative word is a stubborn breed as most terriers, repetition and calm reactions take time and enormous amount of patience because the breed is super smart! Sable is defiantly challenging so I ignore her attitude some times I growl like the pack which works wonders remember we are the pack leaders not the dog so things like not letting them fun ahead on a walk, making them wait to be after you when exiting the door and staying constant with the rules makes a huge respect difference! Never think of your Yorkie in human terms they are dogs and relate to the world with a pack mentality, the leader "you" sets the standard of appropriate behavior, if the dog controls the human then they do becomes more insecure and elevates the unwanted behavior.
Regarding the car situation: you decide what you want, looking out the window is your choice and if you want the dog to sit in the carrier on the floor it makes no difference as long as the dog understands that it is what is expected! Reward with praise and not always with treats!
Good luck pack leader! You can do it!😀🐶❤️

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and comments. We are going to just ignore his barking for now - make like we can't hear him. He stops the moment I get out of the car - who knows - so, the wife decided it is time for me to leave!

Gotcha, but yost one little thing...I believe the collar Wylie's Mom likes is called the 'bark genie.' If she recommends it you can be sure it is effective and will in no way harm your canine. I do not know, however, how use is determined (insofar as size, age, etc.). I just trust Wylie's Mom to provide excellent, practical, experienced advice...! I SAID, I JUST TRUST...OH, I mean, oh--you're just going to tune Charlie out...! Got it!

When do you all start your journey south? And how long does it usually take? I'm talking in terms of hours/days---not Charlie-screaming time! Well, no matter, really; I have feeling that you're going to have a surprisingly delightful trip.

We take two days. Left Friday - drove from 6AM to 7:30PM and got a room in GA (3 miles from Florida). We always stay at the same motel. It took another 3 hours or so to hit our condo. So, about 17 hours or so. We stop every few hours to stretch, get some coffee, etc. - always at a Cracker Barrel!

I love your Charlie stories! I woke my husband up last night by laughing in bed reading this post.

We're bringing home our little girl on Wednesday! Thank you for sharing. Now I won't be so shocked if our little one has a similar personality to Charlie. I must be crazy because I kind of hope she does. Haha! It sounds like endless entertainment.
