She even knows how to make a portable pawket size one in an Altoids tin. It is horribull, I tells you. The moms has founded the key to turning off the shepherd woofing with the horribull tortures of THE CAN. So sad. We should revolt about this. Or call PETA.<br /><br />Anyways, I did not wear my backpack hiking in NH yesterday coz it woz big time hunting season and mom wanted me to has more and brighter orange on so I not be looking deerlike. Plus, mom knowed there would be lots of ponds with swimming opportunities and the vest duss not hold water like the backback duss which meant mom did not has to keep rememmering to take the backpack off of me afore I would go in the water.Backcountry Brodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921986900409656655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-92209241286454313212010-10-03T13:41:37.407-05:002010-10-03T13:41:37.407-05:00Ah Morgan (sigh) - We totally understand your dile...Ah Morgan (sigh) - We totally understand your dilemma: Do you do your job and protect your home and family or do you try to please them by not barking? What they don't seem to understand is that you a better equipped to determine what's a threat and what's not, right? That's where the communication gap comes in - you'll just have to agree to disagree on that one and humor the folks when they're around. Remember, you can always bark when they're not around. Shhhh, don't tell 'em we said that!<br />The Road DogsRoad Dog Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08697788481398257374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-43579266857794001362010-10-03T06:45:00.248-05:002010-10-03T06:45:00.248-05:00Hi there!

...Hi there! Just found your blog via the Blog Hop!<br /><br />We're working on this same problem, especially with Halloween on the way. It'd be nice to be able to keep the front door open without having Shiva freak out at everything that passes by. Since Shiva's just getting over her fear of water, I don't want to resort to that but a shake can may not be a bad idea.

I don't know why I get in trouble when he comes since he brings bills and they hate bills. Are bills like squirrels? <br /><br />Anyway, my mom is looking in the recycling for a can right now.

Our dogs think that the squirt bottle is an amazing water game - they are labradors, after all!<br /><br />We actually allow our dogs to alarm bark when they first sight someone coming near our house (a fairly rare event) but then we say "thank you" and redirect them. We do like having their warning of wayward people entering our space. That wouldn't work as well in the city though if the foot traffic is high, I'm guessing.<br /><br />I love the speed bump analogy!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-81015205453879436902010-10-02T16:07:49.819-05:002010-10-02T16:07:49.819-05:00Really??????

We live on main st. so you can just imagine all da peoples dat walk on out street (and at all hours) and we gets our little chorus going. But of course, mum has tried to redirect us and her is a total failure. VET says we should be allowed to bark momentarily but then we should stop when asked (yea right).<br />Crap, her coming back in with dat darn soup can.<br /><br />Puddles3 doxieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717992332050041160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-18251867941144394702010-10-02T15:09:38.643-05:002010-10-02T15:09:38.643-05:00I'm so pleased Beryl and Frankie are so 'g...I'm so pleased Beryl and Frankie are so 'good' that I haven't had to resort to either a squirt bottle or shake can to stop any bad/unwanted behaviour as I hate the idea.

Our neighbourhood is not one of the safest.. and sometimes when he barks... i do know that someone/something is out there. I never did try to stop him when he barks at every person that passes by. Maybe its the GSD breed... they are more wary... and very protective of the family unit.booahboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08855494427481650614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-4586788420742754992010-10-02T07:05:12.007-05:002010-10-02T07:05:12.007-05:00I loved this post so much that I am one of your ne...I loved this post so much that I am one of your newest followers.

The barking drives me insane!<br />My husband probably won't like the shake can idea because our Sheltie is so spoiled but I am going to give it a try. I have used it before but not for barking.
