How can I get my 6mth Cairn Terrier to stop barking?
We live in military housing so our yards are connected with the neighbors and limited.. I just purchased the ‘birdhouse outdoor dog bark control’ by petsafe, yesterday – he barks, growls and barks more.. I know he doesn’t like the high pitched noise but I’m starting to think my dog is smarter than the birdhouse! It says wait 2 weeks but it doesn’t seem to do anything and I’d rather get a refund than wait it out.. I grew up with dogs and have trained many, but never dealt with a terrier. I’m not one for cruel punishment (putting a shock collar on a 7lb animal) and I don’t want him to think speaking is bad.. Just help him realize that a butterfly wont play with you no mater how much you bark at it. I understand this is a hyper active breed, they need attention constantly, they’re extremely vocal – so please don’t educate me on the ‘Terrier Breed’..
Any experience with a Cairn? Or reviews on the outdoor birdhouse bark control? Serious answers and thoughts please…. Thank you
I have two Cairn Terriers and run a Cairn Terrier Meetup group. I am sorry, you are doomed. The best any of us have been able to do is tell the dog he/she is a very good boy/girl, stroke and reassure the dog through the barking. They can be distracted pretty easily (that is if you can get their attention!). Try filling a soda can with coins and taping the top closed. Whenever the dog barks inappropriately shake the can near him. Do not shake this can for other behaviors, nor have it around and randomly shake it. Save this for when you want to get his attention and distract him. Be sure you have something else for him to do rather than barking, like chasing a filled Kong. Good luck, my dogs are 5 and 7 and they bark, bark, bark.
