·I have a retrievier/german shepard mix who barks when he wants more attention or is getting impatient.
He only does this when we are at the beach (we live beside the beach!) and wants you to throw something for him. He bounces up and down barking loudly at you or anyone who he thinks will throw a ball or stone or anything for him.
I've tried folding my arms, ignoring him and even turning away until he stops then when he's quiet I pet him and throw something, thinking it will positively enforce good behaviour. But it hasn't worked. If you do throw a ball or something for him, eventually you will want to stop or even take a break for more than 30 seconds and if you do he will start barking.
Anyone got any advise? I' ve already contacted the closest trainer who is 3 hours drive away and she is pretty booked up for the next few weeks. So for the moment, I'm sorta on my own.
Thanks.
