@jbcjmo When she started, she would bark her head off for 10 straight mins. Calm down. And bark again! It was horrible. The barking still drives me nuts, but it's not that bad! It would be so hard for her to snap out of it! Unfortunately, our girl loves to settle near the front of the house...

@christian4obama Hey! I had been in contact with a behaviourist. But they went silent 😵‍💫 Our girls barking started at 4 months. Got really bad and has gotten a little better. But it’s still not good. Barking/howling at everything and nothing. She has to be crated during the work day and bedtime...

@nettie9490 I think it's many different noises! Or just noises in general! I feel bad because I KNOW she wants to settle/is sleepy. But when she tries, her head pops up every minute or so :( She's so on edge! I definitely will look into a trainer too, just for backup Thank you!

@nettie9490 Yes! When I catch her being alerted by the sound, I'll treat her before the bark (if I am beside her). If she's settled in the hall, and I am on the couch for example, I will say "look" when I see her head pop up and say "good girl!" and she'll lay her head back down. But she still...

@amos033 I was hoping it was adolescence too! But it started around 4 months old, so that made me think otherwise! My partner thinks she'll grow out of it, but I'm not taking the chances of hoping that and am trying my best to train her! Thank you so much for your help!

@amos033 I am very jealous lol! That's not to say our girl's barking hasn't improved. But it makes me jump out of my skin every time and I feel so on-edge when she roams near the door! Yes! We have been capturing calm, and I think it's working a bit! She doesn't settle much at night anymore...

@amos033 Do you say anything to get her to stop barking (ex. "quiet")? Have you noticed an improvement? I totally understand and appreciate the alert! But it's the excessive barking at EVERYTHING that I can't have. We have to crate our pup during the work day and bedtime because she gets so...

@mjane7 Yes! I have been doing sessions where I sit by the door when she's settled! When her head pops up and she's alert, I'll toss her a high-value treat! I read that this is supposed to train their brain to associate the noise with something positive!

Our 7.5 month old goldendoodle (F) started alert barking around 4 months. It got really bad, but has improved a little since then. I've noticed a few things: The barking is worse when it's dark out There is no specific sound that triggers her, so it is hard to recreate them for training She is...

@imagebeastmarkbeast How old is your pup right now? Do you crate him when you work (if you WFH) and when you leave for longer occasions?

When did you feel comfortable leaving your dog unattended (ex. leaving the house with him/her out of the crate, working upstairs while your pup is alone downstairs)? And what are some tips you'd give to help with the anxiety/to prevent puppy from destroying! Our female golden doodle puppy is...
