I would like to break Penny of barking, in fact I would like to break all 3 of my little ones from barking when they go outside. My husband Jim calls them "Yippy, Yappy and Yahooey" . We got Pete and Penny when they were 4 years old and they came from an abusive home. Penny already cowers when she thinks she has done something wrong ( very submissive ). We have had them for 2 1/2 years now and they have made great progress, but, I'm afraid of being harsh with her and ruining what progress we've made. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Bunny is in the process of being taught, "ENOUGH". She doesn't bark often but when she does I spritz her with the bottle and say, "ENOUGH!" after a few barks. So now when something happens that she deems barkable she just stands up and does a low growl and looks at what is bugging her. I can't stand yappy dogs, I sure hope this works in the long run with her. Stevie Yorkiemom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

You are so right. Penny barks at the Geese on the lake behind our house. I should say she barks at the geese, the Swans, the birds, the ice cracking and anything else that makes the slightest bit of sound. I would like to think that she is communing with nature..LOL...:-)

MMMM, for some reason the reply got deleted. My reply was that if he wasn't barking his little head off at the raccoons, he would be barking at something else. There is a reason that non-chi lovers refer to our beloved breed as a yapping rat! lol

So, no advice on Tico's fear of the night time invasion by the Raccoons?
