After several days of antibiotics and ear drops, Einstein is becoming a different dog. Last night after going out for a potty break, he came in and was acting like a puppy -- jumping around in front of me, pawing at me and shaking his head around. He's taken an interest in chewing on his monster bone. He's destroyed one set of blinds (no biggie -- I should have raised them up, but he wasn't interested in that window the first few days at my house). He got so excited when I left yesterday he "accidentally" knocked over a huge potted plant (in his defense, I had vacuumed and didn't place it exactly where it had been).
So, I guess I'm in for a ride now. : )
My neighbor said he barks a lot during the day when I'm not there. I've heard of collars that emit a high-pitched sound or a citronella spray when the dog barks. I don't want him to NOT BARK at all, and it really doesn't matter if he barks Mon-Fri 8-5 when I'm at work -- no one nearby works nights or anything. Any training we could work on? It's hard to tell him not to bark since he rarely barks when I'm with him.
You guys are the greatest -- I'm so glad I can ask these questions here.
Thanks,
Sarah
