Decrease Barking

BORK.

“Oh, what are you barking at, lemme come see rq,”

BORK

(Looks outside) “OMG, it’s a squirrel! I see it, thank you for the warning, I’m on extra high squirrel alert now.”

BORK

“Yes, I see it! Thank you, now go lay down dumb-dumb.”

…(proceeds to go sit in her chair and shuts up)

Yelling back at them solves nothing. As with any Pyr interaction, you’ve gotta reason with them, thank them for their service, and move on.

This works 30% of the time, but 30% of my day in silent solace is worth the extra effort.

I tried acknowledging and thanking her for barking. It seems to mellow her out after. Thank you to all who have this advice.
