Re: [pyrnet] Pyr in Suburbia



We live in subura-country.  Our neighbors know our Pyr Inka barks  and keep track of what is going on in the neighborhood.  Even some of them know the difference between her barks.  We bring her in around 10pm.  After that she now knows it is bedtime.  But if an animal is around our property, she will bark no matter the hour.  And she hates it when they coyotes are around.    

I am curious - do others have a 'Bark-net?'  Sometimes she starts barking and I will go outside and you can hear the other dogs also barking.

WRT chewing - ours gave it up overnight about a month ago at 18 months.  She has really matured in the past few weeks.  She even now looks like a grown up Pyr.  When she lays out on the ground in the yard she looks like the true  Pyr on guard duty.  But she still acts like a puppy when she greets us.

    Right now we are really struggling with Dart (my 15 month old puppy).  Our pyrs have always been in the house at night, so the neighbors don't complain.  Dart has to stay in our room at night, because he still can't be trusted no to eat the couch if we aren't watching.  I'm hoping the chewing will improve, because I can deal with a pyr barking downstairs but in our room is driving me crazy. 
   I have some luck with giving him something to chew like a kong full of peanut butter.  Once he gets started, he really has to be distracted with something or he just keeps at it.
