My new little Dixie is finding herself quite nicely. She's newly adopted and has been a wonderful addition to our household. HOWEVER ...
She barks. Little sweet barks ...bad "there's a stranger at the door!" barks ....cute playful barks ..."Where's my Mommy!?" barks ...and the daily scolding when I get home, for leaving her for 4 hours.
She has also taught Belveder to bark. It's cute to see them talking to each other but his bark is deep and loud. Needless to say, our household is just a ltitle bit different now!
There's a part of me that loves this but is there a way to train them to STOP when I need them to stop? As I said, most of it is happy barking but when someone is at the door, they scare the person to death.
I've never had this issue. There have been others with Belvedere and I managed to get through them with the help of this forum as you guys always give great advice. If any of you have ideas or training tips, please let me know. I just can't bring myself to squirt them in the face with water bottles, etc. as someone recently suggested.
HELP!
