I can relate. With Kacie, her two children and her two dogs with me now we also have a barking problem. Kacie has an Austrailian Shepherd named Maggie and a wonderful watch dog – unfortunately she nipped my son Jim when he came by the other day. She also has a very small miniature Doberman named Jack who is a strong ‘yipper’ that will also pierce your ears. The last few years as a single mom and living on a street where they have a Homeless Shelter, I loved her watchdogs. The post office refused to deliver mail unless she was there.
We had a complaint the other day from a Contractor that is remodling the home next door so Kacie has been taking Maggie out to Steve’s ranch. He also, very kindly, when she sold her home took her two cats and two chickens. Steve has a dog that Kacie and the kids talked him into taking from the pound three years ago. Kacie did get the bark collars but took them back cause they really changed the dog’s personality. Obviously, we are animal people also and proud of it. Love, Dorothy
