Persistant dog barking
5 Answers
I was asked to ' rescue' a 3 yr old Bichon Frise, that had been moved around so much in her 3 yr life that I couldn't not take up the challenge. She looks nothing like she's supposed to look as her fur had to be cut right back because of the matting.She's frightened of men, but accepts my hubby quite happily, maybe because my other rescue dog, adores him, and so she took on board really quickly that she could trust him. She gets on well with my other dog.
My biggest problem at the moment is her charging and barking at anyone and everything when I take her out. And if I leave the room/house she barks and barks for ages. I've tried the water pistol to stop her, but she likes it......
Any ideas anyone?

I think I'll persevere for a couple more weeks, if she still acts up when we are out, maybe the collar would be an answer foxydivano1, but I'd take it off in the house, and I'll try being a little more strict in my tone, she's quite good at sitting at the mo, she'll sit and stay, but its all the palarva of the barking before she does, sit stay and shut up. I do praise her quickly for the door alert bark, but she doesnt know when to stop, unless I pick her up and put her in another room while I answer the door, so I see where you're coming from Simeon.
