A couple of questions, hoping that everyone sees this at some point.
The first this is her water bowl. Tessa likes water a lot, but sometimes she also likes to put her front feet in the bowl while she is drinking, and splashes all of her water all over the floor.
The next issue is her barking. I have read a lot of info on barking and dog behavior, and i am not trying to stop her from barking, but she doesnt do it when she is supposed to. i have tried ringing the doorbell and knocking on the door and she does not bark then, but when my fiancee and I are watching tv after out nightly long walk and running around in the back yard, she decides to bark constantly at Julie and I. Stop barking does not work as a command to get her to stop. We think that it may be an attention thing that she wants to get on the couch with us. Any thoughts?
And come is not sinking in. She understands sit. But come is not sinking in. Any thoughts?
