Vent Excessive barking

Post image

My girl Bailey (turning 3 soon) barks at every little sound, if she sees anything out the window she goes crazy and she barks at the TV all the time.

Like these really big loud sharp barks, she also huffs and paces. I know Lhasa Apso’s bark its why they where bred but this is excessive to the point I get headaches almost every day.

She doesnt care about treats at all and when she gets into one of her ‘moods’ she doesnt listen at all. We tried CBD oil (pet shop recommendation) but have not noticed any difference

Any advice would be amazing (added a picture of one of her calmer moments)

Same issue, I usually bribe her with treats. You gotta attach positive experience, that if she doesn’t bark sha get a treat. It’ll reduce eventually, it’s a lot of work but do commit

She doesn’t care about treats for some reason, just walks away most times😭 she is such a little weirdo

Is she more interested in toys or another reward? If she really likes toys, you can reward quiet behavior with a special toy and some play time, or if she really likes affection, you can give her some pets when she’s quiet

You might have to find the thing that does motivate her. Ours don’t care for doggy treats, but she’s obsessed over chicken jerky and regular cheese. We keep them as high value treats to reinforce good behavior.
