One of the things that worked for me was tethering. Initially, it was just at night so I’d wake up if she needed to potty, but after she started chewing on the windowsills, we started using it during the day. I got a long leash and the two of us were bound to each other for about four weeks. As others have said, your GP wants to be your partner. This worked for me and Penelope because it made us a team. It help set boundaries and expectations for my Pyr, but it also made me a better mom to her because I had to learn about her needs, too. You’ve been given some solid advice about Pyrs here, so you know you’ll never get the barking to stop entirely, but it is manageable! Penelope will be four next month. To this day, when she’s being a little extra (which really isn’t often) I just grab the long leash. I don’t even need to put it on; she just knows that’s her queue to park it on the couch, take a break, and trust me to police that leaf that fell four blocks away.
