| Re: Barking at people
Classes are over-rated, if you work with your dog 30 minutes a day twice a day he will be well mannered, try lots of walks so he meets new people as well as your friends.
The only way he will ever stop barking at the grumpy old lady next door is if they meet. Bake the old lady some cookies or a peach cobbler and take it to her with your dog. Explain the situation while the two of you enjoy your cookies and encourage her to acknowledge your dog and try to pet it, who in the world doesn't think a puppy is worth petting. When she sees your dog outside she should say "hey tank" and that's it she can ignore him the rest of the time outside but she has to acknowledge him or it will never stop.
Kill the old lady with KINDNESS!!!
Here's a good peach cobbler recipe: 1 stick of butter,1 cup of flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of milk, pinch of salt, pinch of baking powder and 32 oz of peaches with a little cinnamon. Mix cubed butter with flour until it looks like crumbs add sugar,salt, and baking powder, then the milk and to greased baking dish and pour peaches over top. bake 350 for 50 minutes. let rest an hour.  |
