One of our cavs, Fred, begins barking incessantly as soon as I place his harness on him for the morning walk. His bark is loud and piercing, and while I'm putting the harness on his sibling, Ginger, he barks right in my ear.
While the two are actually walking, the barking ceases, but when we arrive home, and I begin removing their harnesses, Fred starts yapping loudly again.
I've tried several ways to quiet him, including holding his muzzle shut while saying "no", a command he understands. He continues to yap and bark for a few minutes, however.
Is he excited about going outside? Is he excited about returning home? Is he disappointed that he couldn't catch a certain rabbit that runs around the yard?
Any advice will be appreciated.
