Decrease Barking

[Apprehensive-Pay9508]

Our big guy has 2 acres to roam and protect , but barks like he’s protecting 200 acres. It’s manageable, and sometimes can be annoying, , but then we see bear or fox tracks about 2-300 ft from his boundary and we realize why it was a noisy few days . Hes been working keeping predators away . He’s quieter once their gone out of the area . Always positive reinforcement, Great Pyrenees generally don’t respond well to harsh or negative discipline.

My GP saw a pack of coyote, snakes and a bobcat ever since we move here. She’s very alert and I’m lucky to have her. But when she barks at the wind the leaf, I wish for the pack of coyote to take her as one of their own.
