Jessie's Girl

I am willing to try. Sorry I am a bit confused could you confirm: you didn''t reaward her once she stopped barking. Just rewards for barking and then pre-barking. And pre barking basically turned into quite?

Thanks That's what I thought to do, so I have just been calling the GSP away from the Grey if she barks. I'm just worried that tis is rewarding her with attention, although ignoring it isn't really an option. The other foster people seem to think it will just fix itself now that she is in a different environment. I hope this is correct but I have heard many stories of adopted dogs coming back due to their barking and I dont want her to be one of them

Hi. We have recently taken on a foster dog. An ex racing Greyhound 6 years old. She has no basic obedience training but seem to be learning well. The problem is she often will just start barking for an unknown reason at our other dog, a GSP, also 6. The GSP does nothing to provoke her as far as I can see, and he also does nothing once she starts. He just stands there as she stands next to him, barking. She doesn't seem aggressive, but very persistent. The other time this happens is when we are playing ball and the GSP gets excited. The Greyhound will often join in the play but sometimes she will just bark consistently at the GSP. She has also done this at the off lead park when a young excited puppy approached the park. This makes me think it is an excited bark. But she does not stop until the stimulus is removed. I would love to train her out of this and help her secure a forever home (and stop driving me neighbours crazy). Any help would be great

My partner has a good relationship with the dog. The dog tends to obey him more than me and although our dog is very jumpy and often timid in front of strangers he is only very seldom timid around my partner, normally after he has been away for work. Submissive urination does should like a close diagnosis, althoughlike i mentioned the situation is normally a calm and positive one. Poor puppy. Thanks guys, We'll get straight to people training haha

My 18 month old GSP has been house trained for atleast 6 months now, I couldn't remeber the last time he pee'd inside, until recently... On 3 different occasions in the last few months whils at work I have had calls from my partner informing me that our boy has pee'd inside. Apparently each time my partner way patting him and then realised there was a wet spot under them. As I was not there I can't be 100% sure but I feel like it might be some stress/excitment incontince. The interesting thing being that it is only my partner that sets off the incontinence and he therefore feels the dog is misbehaving for him. I understand that dogs can have toilet training relapses around this time, but these circumstances seem so specific. Does anyone have any similar past experinces, opinions or advice?
