Barney was rescued at the age of 4 and came barking! He barked at us when he wanted something and every time one of us got up to do something or came into the house, or when visitors came. There wasn't much of the day when Barney didn't bark and it began to wear us all down. After seeking help and applying techniques from the 'Shhush! How to have a quiet dog' ebook, he soon began to get quieter and now only barks when he really need something or if he forgets himself when he's really excited.
