For The Love Of Dogs

Not me.. my Daughter.. she's a dog trainer, they obey her every command...:D
When you see her this weekend ask her how I can get mine to stop barking. I have tried the spray bottle, put pennies in a tin can to shake at them, even held their mouth closed and said no bark. I am a miserable trainer. I did get the kid trained to become a fine adult. I am not a total failure! LOL

I already have a job on my hands. I just want them to not bark as much when I have a bad migraine. Dogs are dogs, they need to run, they need to play, they need to bark. (sometimes I just need them to settle down). Still would appreciate the advice if I decide to get another puppy in the future, which I probably will, I am a sucker for puppy breath! LOL

Our two dogs go crazy when a vehicle(or person or squirrel or rabbit) goes down the road. Nothing that we do is effective. Here's what the Humane Society says: https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/how-get-your-dog-stop-barking

Thanks Nathan, I do some of these things. They are like having a house full of teenagers, peer pressure, one barks, they all bark LOL
Speaking of dogs as barking kids- our female poodle(dear, sweet Angel) will sometimes start a barking incident to get Rusty(our male Silky Terrier) to jump up and go see what's going on. Angel then goes and sits where Rusty got up from. 🤔

I love dogs but I've always lived in apts so I felt it was too much for me.............if I had had a fenced backyard I would have loved having a dog.
Our first dog started out in a house, then a few apartments. He was such a good dog - never one "accident", though we were both working. He got good long walks after dinner and before bedtime. He also traveled everywhere with us .. up North, and even to Booth Bay Harbour, Maine.

Daughter and SIL have a Corgi and live in a condo that has a lot of dogs. However, they have areas nearby that cater to dogs. Amazing how many condo-dwellers have dogs.
 
My precious furbaby is my shadow and I love her to bits. She loves to play but also loves to snuggle and listen to me tell and retell The Story Of When We Met - she lays her head on my leg and looks up at me so intently, and when I finish its always with a pronounced "And So That's How You Came To Be Mumma's Baby" and then she licks my hand! I love it :giggle:🤗 Had to delete the pics as husband doesn't want them posted.

Many people use a no bark collars. It is a small collar that gives the pup a small nick from a rechargeable battery in the collar when they bark. It is just enough to teach them that when they bark they feel the nick. They stop barking and after wearing it for a few days, they will bark no more. You can take it off and put a regular collar back on them, and they will no longer bark. You can try it on your arm or neck, it is not painful, it just gives you that little fuzzy tickle you get when you touch a dry cell battery with both fingers. You can get them on the internet and in some pet shops...

To be honest we tried one of those a long time ago. My husband decided the dog was barking to much. It was his idea, so I sent him off to Petsmart to buy his solution. I was having no part of it. He got home, read the directions and secured it to the dog. Yep, it worked! That dog screamed and did a four foot jump and flip but he stuck the landing! Husband took it off right then, brought it in the house and placed it in the junk drawer where it still remains. Needless to say, been there, done that and would never wear the Thsirt.
 
Can you see her ?.. Pixie again. She has a little cave bed under my DD's home office desk..where she retreats when she's feeling a little scared of the world, she thinks no-one knows she's there....I took this photo today.. can you see her ? :LOL:

Hols, she's so adorable!

Our labs used to want to be under the desk with their chin resting on my foot or knees. Just wanting to be a close as possible.
