Hello! Could do with advice as we have a barking issue that needs work ASAP. Baby on the way in late December/early January and at this rate he'll be woken up every 20 minutes by the dog!
My dog, a cavalier, has always been a bit barky. Mainly at the door/other dogs on tv and for attention. We have mastered the attention barking and he doesn't really do that anymore.
However he now barks at almost ANY noise. Any vehicles reversing/beeping, alarms, people shutting car doors, me dropping something on the floor, a dog barking outside the house, etc etc. If someone comes to the door he will bark hysterically.
I think he's really scared by these noises, he goes almost into a trance and I can't get his attention back. It's getting worse all the time!
Any ideas on how to tackle it? He's had a LOT of training both classes and private, for this and other issues, but he's not made a huge improvement in any area. He's a lovely sweet dog but not that bright and not that biddable so it hasn't been very successful.
