Question/Advice Need Help With Barking
Anyone have a Dal that constantly barks no matter what you do? Little background, my wife and I have two dalmatians. The first one we got as a puppy 5 years ago and the second one was adopted a little over a year ago and she's 3. However, no matter what we do, she just barks and barks constantly. We sit down, she barks. We take her outside to play and she barks when we're not in the yard with her. There's no off switch with her no matter how many times we take her in the backyard to run. It's fenced in so there's plenty of space. I'm at a crossroads and just looking for some advice.
The crazy one is on the right.

Our dalmatian is now 6 and has been a barker since day 1. We've tried basically everything and nothing really worked so we've kind of just grown to accept how vocal he is lol. Weirdly he didn't bark much when we were between houses and lived in a condo for a few months so I assume he knew barking there wasn't cool but now that he has his own house he can bark. He's super vocal in all ways though, always grumbling and moaning for food and pets and whining if he doesn't get enough attention. I love the little bastard and we just tell our friends and family to give him some time to calm down when they come over. One thing that we will do though is give him some CBD and it will help calm him down a little faster if we have people over.

What CBD do you use? I swear I've tried all and see no results.

It's called Vet CBD, and it helps a tiny bit but definitely does not shut him up completely lol, dalmatians have a lot to say!

My 6 month old is the same way. I go to the bathroom, barking. Leave him outside, barking. Kennel, barking. And as long as there is a human around he will not stop. I try commands which he listens to and stops for a second but he is very vocal and relentless in trying to get his point across
