Unrelentless Barking!

Suzz asks:

Belle was spayed on Thursday. I was quite worried about her but she seemed to turn the corner on Friday afternoon.
Here it is Sunday morning. She cannot stay still!
She has been in bed with us since her surgery.
The first night was ok because she was still snowed.
She will not go back to her crate but that is not the problem.

The problem is as soon as she gets herself comfortable, she suddenly stands up and runs across the bed. It's almost like she's itchy or something.
Anyone come across this? We are exhausted. (please don't tell us to send her back in her crate. She is relentless and barks for hours.)
Suzz and Belle

Jean replies:

Hi Suzz --
I hope Belle has progressed and is doing better and you have gotten some rest!

You might want to get a spray mist bottle and fill it with water then just give her a squirt and say: "No Bark".
Only squirt and give the command, do not hold the bottle and say "no bark" then give her a squirt. Do both together.
She will get it eventually. When she sees you reach for the bottle, she will stop.
Then you won't need the bottle after a while, she will stop when you say "no bark" because she does not want you to get that darn bottle out.

Little Barks-A-Lot - stop the insanity

Barbara shared:

Hello,
Just want to share some good news about barkers.
When I took Jo-e to training classes there was a dog there named Ursula and when the trainer took one of the dogs in the middle of the ring to work with her Ursula would go crazy barking.

The trainer stopped went to his building and came right back walked over to Ursula and squeezed a big shot of lemon juice right in her mouth. I have never seen her act that way again.

Now he told us that is used for obsessive barking and not for a dog that barks at a new person they see or something they hear outside. When you squeeze the lemon juice don't let them see the little lemon shaped container in your hand and also give a good squirt..
