Barking

[Rubysmom]

My rotty has an unusal habit of barking when we leave the house....But this isn't just when we leave..it's if me or my husband go upstair's, downstairs, outside,inside or just generaly out of site....She bark's,"growl's", jumps and pounces...It's crazy and rather loud...Does anyone know why she does this...and how to get her to stop...

And how do you get picuters to show up in your messages?? LIke one's of the dogs

My first thought is that she just wants to be with you. I know my Harley always wants to be with me. I have been trying to teach the quiet command. While sweeping or mopping he likes to bark at the broom or mop, so I have been using this oppurtunity to teach quiet. Harley is not an excessive barker but does bark at times. If he hears something or wants to alert us to something I would like him to learn to stop barking after we have accessed the situation so I usually say good bark. Ok, quiet. He is young but I do see good progress.:)

Ruby is around 5 or 6. We adopted her about 3 year's ago...When we got her she had been abused. Does anyone think that it's a possiblity that she might think James and I are going to leave her "forever"??:( We take her on "rides" along with our Pekegines. There's nothing funnier than watching her in the back of our truck. *leashed and safe of course*. Any suggestions on what you think would be great!!!!!

Thank's Harly's mom! ;)
