I'm afraid it won't untrain before the baby goes to college! :wink:Agreed.... but it may not be "soon"![]()
Nobody knows exactly when or if your dogs will drop the habit. If you have been using it for a long time it may just be something they will always react to when they hear the noise. Try to create a new noise with the treat.Oh, gosh. How long is this going to take? I've been using this noise their whole lives!
Ah...that's great advice!It could be ages before that extinguishes on it's own. I would give up and instead train them to go to you when they hear the noise- not to the source of the noise. It would still be annoying, but maybe less so to the other people?
We have about 8 different noises.....too bad this toddler makes the noise for every animal she sees! We're working on it as a 'when you hear this noise look at us" and it's getting better. Big BBQ next week will inform us more.Nobody knows exactly when or if your dogs will drop the habit.
