Just a FYI about debarking a dog....the end result doesn't always sound much better...they can still make a very raspy bark which could get on your nerves too.

I think Pixie is just got something to say...and a lot of it, too...lol!

That would drive me mad! I had a pom that was the same way! I bought one of those remote shock collars as a last resort. I thought the collar was broken because it didn't faze my dog, but by god I shocked the piss out of myself when I checked to see if it was working! The thing that finally got our pom to stop was everytime she did it outside (this is going to sound soooo mean) we would turn the hose on full blast at her. (we'd sit with the hose in our hand everytime we went out, and if she started barking in the house we picked her up turned on the hose put her down and if she was still barking we'd spray her) I took about two weeks but it finally worked! Your poor husband and other "children"! They must go insane! Good Luck!

OHHHHHH MYYYYYYYY

. And I thought my cockatoo was BAD, rofl! Amazingly, nobody except for my husband ever complained even though I'm sure the bird could be heard for a half mile. I think there's some "special" animals out there and "special" people who are able to tolerate them (I mean, take care of them

).....as I used to ask Valentino, "were you possessed by the devil BEFORE you hatched or AFTER?", haha. The breeders told me one day "that bird is what YOU made him"

. Oh well.....

I sympathize with you; I know what it's like, but I guess when you love them so much, it's just something you deal with. It's either that or go crazy, LOL. And we're not crazy, are we

?

I have to say though, that Max was just now staring at the computer trying to figure out where that noisy doggie was, LOL

I thought Loki and Sammy were bad..

You can buy the citronella in cans. Then you don't need anything to trigger it.

Also, try a gentle leader or muzzle. I've found Loki barks less at the neighbors dogs when he's wearing his GL.

Wow! My ears! Actually, I feel for your neighbors. They have to hear the noise without the delight of being around the adorable little cutie.
