what do you think of Dogs

I was curious, has anyone tried the "Bark Off" on their dogs and has it worked?
I'm almost afraid to ask what that is? Something to stop the barking, eh? Mine barks in the truck EVERYtime we come home. She knows where we live & gets all excited. So I try to reward her for shutting up. Hahahha...we travel with treats so I have some ready & tell her "quiet, no barking" & she'll get a piece if she's quiet for like 30 seconds. : Hasn't worked that well...been doing it for 3 YEARS!!!

You're welcome gals...it was my pleasure!

Claudia... what a wonderful video.... it reminds me so much of my Lab Rex... he loved the ocean and surfers. I know how much it meant to that 15 year old quadriplegic surfer to get back into the water... thanks to that sweet dog... so very very touching. The Fool, I am so glad that you found a new puppy... good for you, I know you were so upset with your loss last year. Please let us know how the pup is doing!!!

Yep, you're right. It's this little remote control sort of looking thing that sends white noise to dogs and they stop barking. It's inaudible to the human ear, but it does keep the dogs from barking... for a while. I own one, but I don't use it anymore since Charmy was the one that would bark after anything. It sort of worked on her, but she would still bark a little, oh I miss that little mutt...

I soo know what you mean. About the missing. After my dog died it took us 8 months to find another. I don't know why,..I think I was scared to get another. Then it became an obsession to find one. Thank God for petfinder.com. ) Can you get another? It is so amazing how they get intp that little corner of your heart.

Dogs love unconditionally. They are the heart of a home.

Just a quick trip into this site to say that I did get my dog The seller was getting nervous/ worried that I wasn't going to show .... We had a strange weather mix ... thus my delay to get there - When all was official .... I bought him a collar and leash .... put it on him and walked him through the store .... probably buying more than I thought I would -- as a new start ( The pet store that let the rescue people bring their dogs and sell them ... gave a good set of coupons with 1/2 off etc...) - I enjoyed that many brought in the dogs that they got from the rescue people as a visit to the store and just to talk. I brought him home and this little guy is a firecracker! He is all over the place .... I really have to watch him close .... last night through this morning ..... I think there is some separation anxiety or similar .... plus a new setting .... he whined and cried and barked ... through some of the night .... it made it a rough night ... he is more tired today -- it probably caught up with him.... I have been trying to take him outside to get him used to having to go there .... when he was in the care of the rescue - he would just do his business in the cage ..... so he did his business in the house -- I know I will have to work on that .... and double work -- because he just expects to do his business in his sleeping area right now. There is snow on the ground where I live -- it is fun seeing him run through the snow and take bites out of it and eat it (my last dog used to do this too). I am trying not to compare .... he is a new dog and a different type -- he will be a challenge ..... at the same time he should be fun and interesting to work with .... and to play with too

Fantastic news Have you chosen a name : Only advise - talk to him a lot, get him used to your voice (you're probably already doing that)

A communication problem at work .... someone knew something that would help the work day along ... sat on the information - wanting me to finally ask - (talk about making someone feel like a dog -- but that isn't what I am leading up to ....) so I had a long day yesterday (and it could have been better if I had the information) ... it started bad today .... but got better .... once I had the information .... through all that ..... when I got home .... my puppy/ dog greeted me with enthusiasm and tail wagging quickly .... ahhhhhh What happened during my work day? : Good dog

Our older dog has been limping lately. Think she pulled a muscle in her back leg. But it doesn't seem to bother her - she still tears around like a nut.
