I've had my Aussie for a month and was angel when we first had him. Now he just barks constantly! I understand it's normal for dogs to bark, but it gets to the point where my ears hurt and I feel like my blood's boiling.
He barks at me when I've got food as if he's expecting me to share - but I've never given him my own food before so I don't know how this started.
He barks for my attention and when I just ignore him, he calms down then throws another barking fit 5 minutes later.
He barks through the fence and I bring him inside but eventually have to let him out to wee - and he just starts barking again. I also get him to sit, look at me and calm down but then he goes back to barking.
When I tell him a stern 'no', he runs away and keeps barking.
I'm obviously doing something wrong because he came to us with no bad habits but I don't know where I went wrong! How should I be addressing these issues?
