I dont know if you guys remember but i had a bit of a problem with the dogs barking before and then got it under control but know its started up again!!!!!!!!!! And to my absolute horror one of the neighbours complained to the council and we got a warning and i am totally freaking out!....
Anyway so we looked around and called up these Dog training people "Dog Tech" (Man who started it does the "Dog Whisperer" show in Aus) recommended by the Vet and some friends...anyway a lady came today and she said that we are having like Leadership problems...and that we are letting the dogs be like the Alpha of the pack and to get rid of these barking problems we need to first make ourselves their "leader"...
so anyway she showed a few training things we should do every day with them and it was all great...and then she said (btw this like like a 4 week course thing) that for the first 2 weeks i have to completely ignore the dogs...meaning no patting them, no acknowledgiing them, no playing with them..no NOTHING!!!! Only when i feed them and do the training methods can i even pay any attention to them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....how can i just ignore them for 2 weeks!!!!!! like they can be around and all but i cant got and pat them or anything like that....has anyone heard of anything like this?!?
anyway thanks..
