[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a barky dog- the key is not to let her roam our backyard where she'll bark at every noise, passerby, other dogs/animals, etc. We walk her and bring her inside. She's sweet but reactive, so we keep the stimulation low. Our neighbors let their pair barky dogs spend hours in their backyard - most people dislike the dogs and the neighbors as a result.[/quote] This is what doing it right looks like. Know your animal, know your environment, "parent" accordingly. [/quote] We took her to a behaviorist when she was younger after a lot of training "fails" - the behaviorist said that some dogs are just the way they are and advised us on containment and calming strategies. Our dog is a mini-schnauzer and think would have done better if we had a calm, adult dog in the house when we got her as a puppy. She's anxious and feels she must protect us (her people)- I think a big, calm alpha companion would have helped things. [/quote]
