I gave in after a sustained campaign by everyone in the house and we got a dog about 3 months ago. She is a Cockapoo rescue/re-home and arrived 4 months old, trained. So all of that has been great and to be fair she has been a great addition to the house, brilliant fun and great for the kids
She also never made a sound for the first while but as she has relaxed she has begun to fancy herself as a guard dog and barks the house down at everyone that passes the front of the house, knocks on the door, delivers post, workers she can see in someone else house etc.. basically acting like a dog! Its become a right pain in the hole for working at home as it disrupts calls/Zoom meetings etc. My missus bought this spray thing to distract and stop the barking but it doesn't work, so the latest talk is a collar that stops barking. Do these things actually work?.. it sounds ridiculous but if it works she might avoid becoming an outdoor dog
