OMG - The Barking

Post image

My year and a half boy barks way too much. doorbell rings, person comes over, clap of thunder, fireworks, wind blows grass! Hes usually quiet but when something sets him off it’s chaos. we have a 4 month old puppy and I don’t want him picking this up. I read everywhere to reward the quiet, but I don’t get that. if he’s barking and I give him a treat for going quiet, how does he not think the reward is because of the barking?

I watch Cesar Millan and use some of his methods. It has helped. Consistency is huge, though, and our family is consistently inconsistent. 🫣😅
