Hi! Newbie here
Just had a question ok maybe 2.
Quick story- I adopted the little booger from a shelter about 3 months ago. Up until recently, he's been quiet. Here are my questions:
One- My dog will be quiet playing with his toys or resting, then all of a sudden will start barking at me or my boyfriend (mostly me, mostly). Or if we're on the phone, he'll start howling, then barking up a storm. I tell him STOP BARKING!, but he keeps it up. Is he just doing this for the attention? I'm always playing with him when I'm home. If i'm playing on my computer, he'll be barking. So I give him his toys, he keeps at it. THen I'll walk away, and he shuts up. then he'll start again. What's good to use on him to stop him from constantly barking?
2nd- He loves to nip/bite when playing, but he'll do this to anyone. We tell him to stop and bop him on the nose, but again he keeps at it. He's about 1-2 years old, he should be outgrown of this nipping stage.
Help!
thanks!
