How noisy are your dogs..?
Space constraints mean next dog has to be small really.
Think we are decided on a chihuahua, but, I hate barking...
This is the plan which was followed for current (exceptionally quiet) dog and I’m hoping will work for pup?
- The puppy will be taught to go to it’s bed when the doorbell rings/door is knocked and stay there until released.
Lots and lots of treats for silence.
- Any barking and/or fence running outside mean an immediate end to being in the garden
- Complete ignoring of attention seeking barking.
- immediate doggy time out for barking eg at postman or people walking past window
Is it likely to work and result in a nice, quiet, non barking chihuahua?
Current dog virtually never barks in the house and that is exactly how I like it.
