barking

Fainly is 2 now, and the happiest and healthiest he's ever been, but he has some serious holes in his training. He has a huge vocabulary but usually obeys when he wants to, or is sure there will be a tangible reward (food!). We also have not been able to get him to stop going crazy when he's on...

Our 2 year old sheltie Maddie is a Covid dog. My husband works from home, and I work part-time outside the home. When we leave Maddie for 3 to 4 hours we give her a frozen Kong and put the tv on. She is not crated as she despises the crate. We discovered on Tuesday night that she barked the...

Willy has been with us a week now, so here is a quick update on his progress. His current owner has health problems and we have him on a 2-week trial period. He is a little over a year old. Our vet gave him a clean bill of health (blood, fecal, heartworm tests all OK). He gets along well...

I an a new dog mom of two sheltie/rat terriers who I absolutely love and adore but man did it open my eyes to a new world of dog behavior etc! Finley and Harley are sisters from different litters. Finley is a year old and Harley is 7 months and I got them both when they were 8 weeks old! When...

Looks like at a little over five months old, our Toby is beginning the throes of adolescence :nailbiting: We are finally finding solutions (albeit slow ones) to: Barking at Everyone Outside and Chasing ALL the Cars. His second favorite games. Though distracting him with a treat usually does the...

Charlie is my daughters dog. He was 10 weeks old when my daughter brought him home. Of course I did most of the training because I was the one home most of the time. My daughter moved out for 6 months and has now come home to return to school. Charlie is now 13 months old and was neutered a few...

im struggling with her barking in her kennel and my first struggle is right now she’s got it as a habit and she’s doing it cause she doesn’t like it and she prefers to be out or with me. If she’s with me no barking if she’s in the kennel endless barking. I’m going to stop using the bark collar...

Hi y’all so I got my sheltie puppy last month and I call her a demon cause of her crazy puppy habits like biting and barking but she is my angel no doubt. I knew barking would be a tough point when getting a sheltie but I’ve tried what I feel like is everything and I’m failing hard. I did ignor...

Hello, I have a three year old boy. He is a vocal one! He barks at other dogs and absolutely goes crazy during agility class. He barks when he hears other dogs running and barks when he’s in the ring. It’s non stop during class. We have completed our intro series and was three classes in to our...

My sheltie is the most docile, non-barker, even temperament dog I've met (not bias, i swear she's made of magic:) . She's nothing like i expected of the breed, very confident, loves people, dogs, and new environments. Recently though, she has become very nervous and started barking at inanimate...

Hi, I just adopted a 3 year old sheltie, and I'm looking for some advice. My dog (named Dug) is very sweet and gentle. He barely barks, and is for the most part very friendly to everyone. However, when someone comes to the front door, my dad knocks on my room door, or he hears someone outside...

I've been doing a lot of research on a suitable dog for a service dog and I fell in love with the sheltie for its perfect size that's able to fit under seats and for their intelligence. But their downfall is their barking. I absolutely can't have a service dog in public places barking at things...
