Some of you may have seen my other post about my living situation. I've come to an agreement, but my dog is still in the middle.
He's an 8 year old Pomeranian that has always been a yapper. It seemed no matter what training techniques I tried, he wanted to yap/bark. The biggest time he does it is when I leave and I'm not there.
Now, the dilemma is I have less than a week to move to the new place. He's going into a house where only 1 of the 2 households is a dog lover. Any sound of barking will be bad news.
I'm looking into devices that may work. I hate the thought of using a shock collar, and opted to try an ultrasonic device that is set in the room with him...unfortunately, it didn't even phase him. I looked at a 'vibrating' collar that Petco offers, but I really question its ability to work.
So, basically, I have less than a week to try and resolve this issue. What do I do?
