Chloe is 9 months today
and is truly one of the great loves of my life. Having said that, whenever we go out with her (shopping etc.) she will start barking at everything. People, things, you get the picture. Some times she isn't quite as bad as others, other times she can get quite embarrasing. Case in point - today we were at Home Depot with Chloe. She made such a silly fool of herself, I had to hold her in my arms the entire time. Most times she'll ride in the cart. People started to look at us like we had a miniature version of Cujo
Is there anything we can do to curb this behavior. She currently taking private classes at Pet Smart, because they were the only ones I could find locally that didn't want to put her in some type of collar. We have made *great* progress with everything, and my husband and I are delighted. The only thing the trainer suggested is taking our treat bag with us when we take her out, tell her to "stop" when she starts barking and reward her when she does. I haven't tried it yet though, although today I would have tried anything.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Good thing she's as cute as a button :lol:
