My dog goes balistic whenever the postal person, or any person, or animal is outside our property. He has a built in bullhorn in his lungs, that will not seem to shut off. I love him dearly. (He's about seven.) He knows the down, sit, and come commands (with some hesitation, or treat bribeing;) but he seems to want to be in control of his barking. It frustrates me and my family. Sometimes I start to count to four and he momentarily pauses or lowers to a gurring-growl. Help please...What humane advice do you have please to save our ears, our sanity, and our dog's throat? Thank you. :)
PS We also have a two year old dog who is very well behaved, and the neighbor dog barks worse than our dog; and as a matter of fact, even get's our dog to join it in the barking if it sees something first. I think our neighbor dog is neglected and it's barking is ignored by it's owners. We can not control or stop it's barking. But our two year old does stop on command if he joins in. TY :)
