hi Jade

   Our Robbie was like Tigger he started to bark for no reason, but after about a week he started to settle down and now hes ok. I did try and use the ball with holes in and he was ment to move it around but he was not intreasted in it but the other 2 loved it. You could try that if he likes his food. Hope this helps. It could be because of the fireworks just now and he will settle down when everything goes back to normal

Yeh that might be an idea to put some food in a Ball or Kong (those cone like things) because from what your dad's told me Tig's a bit of a one where food's concerned.

Hi Jade,If things are really bad call your dog warden. Ask if he can come to the house and talk to you and meet your dog. I did when it got to a stage I thought I would have to let my dog go to a pet home. Anyway the warden had cytric anti bark collar. its a little box that fits around your dogs neck. When he barks it releases a small amount of a smell dogs do not like at all. I didnt think it would work but after a short while my dog stoped barking. I only put it on him when I had to go out. but he did learn in the end to stop barking non stop. Then I used it less and less untill I didnt need to put it on him anymore IT WORKED. With no harmful afect to my dog. It just stoped him and got im out of the habbit of barking all the time. I hope this helps you. You can buy the collars from the vets and some shops but thay are expensive. I hope your warden can help thay are very good.

we have spoken to our dog warden and he also recomended that we get one of those collars to stop him, we are now just waiting to get one so we can give it a trial, thankyou all for ur help, i will keep u updated as to how he goes.
