Brigitte Lovell came to pick up her dog Cimba from us recently. Before bringing Cimba to Your Dog Guru, Brigitte explained Cimba as being a “terror”. Cimba would chew on scissor handles and paper, damage furniture, and she could not be brought into public places easily. Brigitte tried Petsmart training, where Cimba showed some progress during the classes, but would revert back to old habits immediately. After training with YDG, Cimba is now a full fledged Service Dog and can be brought anywhere with absolutely no issues. Brigitte is a doctor and now frequently brings Cimba to her office – her patients love it!
Hello …where I live and work is a year old male standard poodle…they also have a 3 yr old female that doesn’t bark …sshe is the quiet one lol. the owners have a second home 3 hours away at the coast and take both poodles with them whenever they go . So the dogs get plenty of going everywhere even just to the feed store or the local bank. But the neighbors have started calling because of the males barking whenever they in yard and he is never alone the poodles are always together even in yard but he still barks when owners leave
Hi Tammy. There is no quick solution to dogs barking. It’s likely something that’s been going on for awhile and reinforced. You would need to go through a structured process of figuring out why the dog is barking and then begin to teach the dog appropriate scenarios to bark and not bark. If you’d like to explain the situation some more to us, we’d be happy to listen and give some basic recommendations. Please use the Contact page on our website to either call us or submit an email. Thank you!
