I am sure she hears things during the night and barks bc she is trying to protect you. Could you get some sort of sound machine thing to drown out background noise from outside?? Also, I know a water bottle works well...whenever she starts barking, squirt her in the face with some water and tell her "no bark." You could keep one by your bed and it would probably be more convenient than the pennies or the bowl things. |
Everyone has been so great in offering suggestions, Thank you. I would feel sooo bad if all this time she was just trying to protect us and Im getting mad at her for it. Her little 5 lb body sure doesnt tell her brain that she is smaller than my cat. For something so little, her voice is HUGE! As far as the squirt bottle....I've tried that too. She doesnt care if she is dripping wet...she will keep on a barkin!! My bed would be soaked by the end of the night. I will try the pennies tonight and see how it goes. Watch, she will sleep like a baby tonight!!! |

Hi and welcome!!! Congrats on the new baby! I can't be much help here because Jake isn't a barker. He will bark if he hears noises at night, but he will stop if I tell him it's okay. The key is to wear them out by either playing ball or something or taking them for a walk. That way, they sleep much sounder and don't hear every little thing. I'm sure she is just getting used to her new surroundings. Good luck! |

Yeah, Im sure my sister knew what she was doing when she named her....Or it could be that Pita thought "what the hell, Ive got the name...I might as well live up to it" :) |
Maybe a radio or TV left on at night to make some noise might help.... |
Mitzi barks at night once in a while when she hears something or the neighbors dog starts it. We found a great solution... we got used to it, tell her it's o.k. turn around and keep sleeping... :D :D :D Might not work for everybody though... I saw a show on "it's me or the dog" and the dog trainer said that such a dog is kind of insecure about the leadership and can't relax b/c he/she tries to protect everybody. There the solution was to bann the dog from the bedroom... well, that's not gonna work with a Yorkie, we know that for sure...;) |
