Since moving house five months earlier, my ten month of dog has had a real problem with barking.
Our backyard faces a reserve, and people often walk past. When they do, my dog will chase them along the fence line, barking at them. A group of kids have even taken to standing on the other side of the fence just to taunt her. My dog is even beginning to bark at the birds!
This is not only driving my family crazy, but our neighbors as well, and I'm concerned it's only a matter of time before someone reports her.
She is alone for around six hours a day while I'm at school and my parents at work, and her barking is much worse then. I have tried giving her lots of treats - such as bones, and toys to keep her occupied, but it doesn't help. She much prefers to rip out the plants and chew everything she can find.
I even contacted the council about shock collars (a last resort, trust me) but they no longer have them.
I seriously do not have a clue what I'm going to do with her. Help!
