well, I see that he's a small dog and small dogs tend to bark A LOT. why not use the cintronella spray collar that is more humane like Angie suggested? I know my mom's dog, Ginger does bark a lot.. take him for more walks and play with him more, take him to dog parks, have play dates or something for him, etc. to prevent him from getting bored. Do all you can to ware him out.

He goes for 3 walks before lunch time & another 3 after 3pm till we go to bed about midnight or 2am.

Andrew takes them for a walk at 5am.. I take them out at 7am & Chad takes them out at about 11am-noon... then when Andrew gets home at 3pm, he takes them out, then I take them out at 6pm & Chad & I (or our friend Karen) takes them out around midnight.

Mr. Biggles isn't into playing.. he just wants to cuddle & be patted.. so he gets that all the time.

Dog parks are a no go right now, as they are simi-dog agressive. This issue will be delt with starting in the spring, so I don't slip on ice & loose crontol at the dog park. One dog will go at a time & will be muzzled & leashed as a precaution, until they slowly learn that other dogs are a lot of fun Mr. Biggles is the big dog agressor.. Bear only gets agressive when Mr. Biggles tells her too. + at the park they'll learn distraction obidence (that'll be fun lol). & of course I wont go into the park without talking to other owners about socilizing the dogs.. I want the ok from them verbally, so they can keep a closer eye on their dog when near mine & possibly help me with Bear. I think Bear will do really well, as shes not agressive at all when Mr. Biggles isn't around.
