craigyboy 1,274 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 if its had plenty exercise mate then a good meaty bone should quieten it down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toka 10 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 try the water pistol/spray bottle.....when it starts barking dont look at it or shout [cos in its eyes it thinks you are joining in with the noise] spray it a couple of times in the face. dogs hate it [usually].....may have to get up a few times initially but it does seem to work....worth a try anyway!!!

JPTfellterrier 65 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) if its a confident dog kick the front of the kennels everytime it barks..........if its a shy dog it probably has seperation anxiety (my lurcher has it she howls for about 5 mins everytime i put her to bed but it used to be all night) so just ignor them its a form of attention seeking the spraying water thing works good aswel as toka said you just have to put up with a wet dog Edited February 26, 2009 by JPTfellterrier Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fazza123 517 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Get a barking collar if the dogs half clever it will work after about 5-10 barks!Then put a normal collar on unless it starts again! ATB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doglost Co-Ordinator 4 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 You need to tell her no or quiet before you spray her otherwise she wont associate what she's doing wrong before she gets blasted with the water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
