Also, I have one gobby Jack Russell who knows exactly what she wants..

[curvybird]

and my god, will she bark till she gets it !!!!! How do I let her know shes not the diva she thinks she is ???

[woofgang]

ignore the barking and praise when she is quiet...it will take a while but its the only way.

[woofgang]

i meant not just ignore the barking but ignore her when she is barking...really blank her.

I hope your neighbours can't hear the dog! I'm sure they'll only be too happy to be woken up at 04.35 by the constant barking.

[piggynose]

if the barking continues, put the pooch in a wheelie bin for a few hours

lol

Have you ever watched The Dog Whisperer? It sounds like she isn't respecting you enough. Apparently you are supposed to indicate to her that you are the leader of her pack, and she must do what you say. If she sees you as the alpha it will also make her feel more secure. Perhaps check out his website for tips? (Caesar Milan)
