red1 1 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 turn the hose on her a few times that will cure it not a bite cruel,...work for me........red1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nocturnal Hunter 9 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Good advice... but if it still persists get a Ant-Bark collar.. they have always worked for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephOC 6 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I also use used a hose. Just said 'In' once, sternly, and then hose. Only have to do it about 3 times. Funnily enough, my dog loves water, and playing with the hose, but with my serious face and voice on, he knew it was a punishment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackard 36 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 is your dog cold ? is there a draft ? just a few things to think why shes started . and water always worked for me as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,174 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Is it possible that she can hear another dog howling/barking far away? Something you can't even hear? You say that nothing has changed: have you got new neighbours? New dog next door? Is she about to come in season? Has she been in season recently? Have you recently got another dog? Changed her food? Going through a dodgy time in your relationship (if you are in one that is)? Any number of things may have made her howl: try and eliminate them one by one as if she has always been quiet before then something is definitely upsetting her and you don't really want to punish her for doing something she can't help. There is a thing called a Dap pheromone diffuser which you plug in and it emits pheromones which calm the dog down. Maybe look into that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
