Our youngest puppy has been a barker since the day we brought him home. I am fien with barking in warning when people go past our house etc. I expect that. What is driving me nuts is be barks all the dang time, and it is a high pitched loud bark. He barks to play, he barks to be pet, he barks to announce he woke up, he barks if he wants you for anything. He can not be put out to potty because he barks so much the neighbors have filed a noise complaint with the town office. If I put him on the tie out he is okay if right by my side but if I get up to go across the yard for a moment he barks and barks and barks.
Inside he is okay being away from me, will nap in a different space etc, but if he wants my attention he wants it NOW. The barking wakes up little ones when napping and like I said has been bad enough outside to have the neighbors complain.
What can I do to train him out of this? I do not want to resort to bark collars but can't be getting fined by the town for it either.
Even when not barking he is very vocal, he makes funny noises while playing with the other pup, and at times we can have a "conversation" where the noises he makes in response to me sound like he is talking.
The only pet I had as vocal as him was a part siamese cat and seriously he is out doing her.
How do you train your puppy not to bark bark bark? Ignoring isn't always an option as I have 4 kids here all day, plus 2 daycare kids and they can't ignore it, not to mention the neighbors aren't willing to do so. So please tell me there is a way that does not involve ignoring or bark collars.
