Eleanor is doing great..about 12 weeks old now. She's letting us know when she has to go outside and she makes it through the night without barking/crying/peeing.
One thing we've had trouble with is her barking. She barks when we tell her no (and usually resumes chewing on the furtinure that prompted the "no"). She barks when we aren't looking directly at her or go into a room with a closed door. She even barks as a reponse to use telling her to stop barking!
We've tried the various methods mentioned on this board, including the 'give a treat/praise quiet', the spray bottle, and ignoring her, but none seem to work. She even seems to like the spray bottle!
Any suggestions? do they grow out of barking or do we need to really try to stop it now? How long should we keep trying a particular method before we give up?
Thanks!
