Hi all.
I have a Bichon/Shih Tzu cross who will be 2 in September. She is a lovely dog but I'm at my wit's end with her barking.
I have a 7 month old baby who has never woken up from a nap naturally because the dog will bark at any noise/car/person outside all day.
We've had two trainers in for help, the first one said to give her a treat when she doesn't bark and she'll get it. This just made her bark to get a treat and made things worse.
The second trainer said to stand in front of where the thing that was making her bark was coming from and say 'no'. Obviously this doesn't work, they also said to get a water gun and spray her if she barks. This didn't work either.
I really don't know what to do to get her to stop, but I'm getting quite resentful towards her because she's waking my baby up all day and he can't rest.
Anyone got a magical cure to help stop the barking. I'm really struggling.
