[nagdu] Defiant poodles running away from corrections

[Danielle Ledet]

Try getting a crate for your dog. Keep her in it for a while and that
way when she barks, you have the added benefit of banging on the crate
should the "Quiet!" not get her attention. They don't like the noise
and will quiet. Make sure you get one sized for her where she has just
enough room to turn around and lie down. Plastic ones work best for
this. That's what I did with my barker though her "Come" was pretty
reliable. I didn't want to totally eliminate her barking because it
was a help when I was alone to let me know to perk up and pay
attention. I can't imagine life with two barkers though. Also, you
could go back to the leash with her constantly at your side and should
she start up barking, distract her with a round of obedience or puppy
pushups. Roxe, I realy like your approach. Kerri, that's a smart dog.
They're just like children, aren't they? Both children and dogs need
to mind and receive correction from time to time, eh? Tammy your
poodles are a funny handful. Raven, good post.
