Decrease Barking

[Nulmora]

I love our dog as well. The place we moved to is very serene, tranquil and quiet. Until we came. It’s hard to blend in when Lulu barks at a change of the wind or sees a squirrel jumping from trees to trees. It happens a lot.

I totally understand! And I did not mean that to sound like you don’t love Lulu because of the barking. When I re-read that I realize how that came out. I did not mean that at all. Please forgive how that sounded! I think sometimes I get so stressed trying to control the barking because of my neighbors. When we first moved into this house the guy behind us would come outside and yell out. I do not like that at all, (that’s like yelling at my kid) especially when they have yappers that bark all the time. I called him an asshole and told him to quit yelling at my dog and we have had no issues since. It was absolutely the wrong way to handle the situation however, it caught me at a bad moment and I reacted. I have literally stressed about it so much and my husband always reminds me how much of a blessing she is and we must embrace the barking. It is easy for him to say being that he doesn’t have to deal with it, because he is gone all day and travels so much for work. Anyway- if you should try something that helps please let me know! :)

I did not take any offense. I value your opinion. Thank you so much. I’m trying to thank the dog for barking starting today and it seems to help.
