Over the past year my lovely cockerpoo has found her voice, she is 3 in feb. She barks all of the time, if someone comes to the house, if someone walks past the house with a dog, animals on TV (any animal, even cartoon), if she hears a loud noise (bad because apparently it's still bonfire night where we live), if a cat comes in the garden, certain noises on TV, if me and DH cuddle standing up, literally anything could set her off. Once she starts it's hard to get her to stop right away without getting really angry with her. I would just let her bark it out but we've just had a baby. She has woken him on numerous occasions. One day all I did was feed, comfort the baby who kept waking and shout at the dog. I cried when DH came home from work. I was that upset I told him she'd have to go live with his parents who adore her. She is such a sweet dog and is like our child, in fact her and DH are inseparable, but she's driving me mad. What can I do? Any advice welcome.
