We need some serious help with this. Our dog barks at us constantly while we eat dinner or watch tv. If you are in motion she will follow you around, but she is quiet. We have tried the following:
1. Ignore the barking - She might stop after 10 minutes and lay down, but no long term impact. Resumes at the next opportunity.
2. Reward for good behavior - we will say quiet when she stops barking and reward with a treat. We will ask her to be quiet and lay down in her bed. Reward the good behavior. The problem is now she pops up instantly and starts barking again when the treat is gone.
3. Impulse control - tried the techniques in the video. She does very well. Not helping with her barking.
Any other suggestions?
