problem with pomeranian barking

lainee

We have a nine month pomeranian puppy who has been with us for five months. We keep him in the room with us as much as we can, but lately he is barking at everyone who comes into the room and anyone who moves in the room! The only person he doesn't bark at is myself and my daughter (we can move about as we wish), but if my husband or son (or anyone else) is in the room and moves off their chair, he jumps up at them barking like crazy and wont stop until they have left the room.

We have tried ignoring him, but this is not working and are wondering should we try removing him from the room everytime he does it and hope eventually he gets the message!

We would appreciate if anyone has any other ideas or suggestions as this is driving everyone mad!!

If you have a utility room or something, then everytime he barks, I would just pick him up (without talking to him/giving him attention) and put him out there for a while. If he keeps barking then I would wait until he has stopped barking for a while to let him back in. Definitely don't shout at him, cos he'll think you're barking too and get more excited.

I'm not an expert or anything but this is what I've learnt from having dogs/watching "it's me or the dog" Also that exercise solves nearly every doggie issue, probably cos it tires them out.

It is their nature. The little feckers are just noisy by design. I personally do not like them. My neighbour has one. They are all bark and no bite. My neighbour let him loose one day and he came at me (the dog). I lined him up for a big kick to put him into orbit. Thankfully the little chap in his enthusiasm slipped on the floor and fell on his back before he reached my prepared kick.

The neighboor put him on a lead in the meantime. Lucky for him and his dog.

They are nasty noisy little dogs in my opinion previoulsly but a little bit of bacon on my person and dropped to him alleviated his aggression. Simply dropping a little bit of small meat stopped the little twat from barking at me. maybe advise youy friends to do the same or offer it as a reward on the visits?

buy a water pistol.
When he barks, he gets a squirt.

Ive tried the water pistol to try and stop my puppy bitting and she just open her mouth and goes around with a wet face:rolleyes:

Try a plant misting spray. It works far better than a water pistol and they cannot do that with it.

we have had huge success with one with an abused rescue collie; all we need to do now is pick the spray bottle up and say no quietly.

If she refuses, one spray is all that is needed.
