Barking dogs and Bark Off..
So, I posted in my "turn your back..." thread about my little mutt dog, Buddy, who barks..and barks..and barks. The biggest issue has always been in the home when someone knocks on something.
I don't know if anyone seen the TV commercial about a product that, when the dog barks it makes a noise that is suppose to stop them. I got a burr up my butt and seen one at the store and got it.
Needless to say..it works. I kid you not, I've tried everything in the book to stop the barking. But this thing actually works. I'm not just going to rely on this though, right now I am snapping my fingers..hopefully to be replaced by a clicker and also got him a new toy that he really really likes. Food does no good. I find toy/praise work best for him.
So I'm hoping after some time we can get rid of the bark off thing and he wont have such a problem barking.
