What happens when your Rottie prefers being outside? I have 2 of them. My male is almost 4 years old and loves to be outside. I bring him in, and in about 10 minutes, he is back at the door ready to go outside and run and play and toss an empty 55 gallon drum around, plus buckets, he loves his buckets. Now my female on the other hand, is a little over a year and is such a princess. She is the opposite of my male and prefers being inside. When she's been ouside for more then 10 minutes, she is right at the back door ready to come back in. If they are both happy, then that is all that matters to me.

Now about the barking, I really don't have that problem. I live out in the woods here in South Carolina and my closest neighbor is about a mile, maybe a little less, away. I do however, live on the same property that my business is located on. When I'm back at my house, and my Rotties bark, I go outside to see what is going on, and more then likely, a truck driver is coming up to my house to make a delivery. But once I say "enough" they stop. The "enough" command does work, and should be given a try.

Good luck and let us know how everything works out. :)
