[quote=Anonymous]My dog is a 7 pound maltipoo. She's a barker. She barks on two occasions. The first is when she hears our neighbors come and go. I guess that's her "protecting us from potential intruders" bark. I've apologized to the neighbors repeatedly but they've all said they don't mind. The second is when she sees another dog when we're outside, and that seems to be her "Hey! Hey! I'm also a dog! Let's be friends!" bark. I've consulted with trainers and they've all told me that her barking is happy enthusiasm, and not aggression. It seems to annoy me more than it annoys anyone else. She usually stops after she gives the other dog a sniff or if I pull her away. I always try to get her to stop but sometimes it takes a minute. She also barks her head off at the off-leash park because it's full of dogs she wants to play with, but I think that's fair game. I've never been out with her before 9 AM or after dark. That's the best I can do. [/quote]
