[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's guarding behavior and it's stressful for the dogs and owners. It means the dog is scared, and punishing them will make it worse. If you try to correct for barks and growls you can get a dog who is aggressive without warning. We try to distract and treat for not barking but we can't sit by the window by our dog all day. Pulling the blinds down doesn't help because our dog can sense it. Our dog only does it for a handful of dogs he doesn't like. [/quote] Why don't you block your dog's access to the windows?[/quote] He barks at dogs walking by whether he's at the window or not. He can sense them. In some ways, he's less anxious when he can see what's out there. But I don't let him bark if I can help. I interrupt and command that he come to my side and we wait out the passersby. He's crated if I'm not home.[/quote]
