New ACD Owner and to the Forum - Advise Needed on Barking
Barked: Mon Apr 29, '13 4:32pm PST  I am new to the Australian
Cattle Dog breed and am very excited to have one. As of this
past Saturday evening Brodie has been with us for a week. On
Friday he seemed to discover his bark and has become very
talkative over the past two days. He likes to stand and bark at
us for attention. He's been to the bathroom, has had access to
food & water, and we've been playing with him so it's not as if
he is being ignored. I know ACDs are really smart and sometimes
hard to train so I want to make sure I use the right solution
for correcting his excessive barking so I don't ruin his
temperament. I see a lot of different suggestions on the topic
of excessive barking on the internet but I am not sure what is
the right solution for my puppy. Does anyone have some
suggestions?  Member Since Barked: Sun Sep 8, '13 10:28am PST
