Hello all!
I'm back with more questions.
Wally is, for the most part, a very well trained dog. He sits, lies down, and even high fives! (Of course he only does these things when he feels like it but i think that's fairly normal for these stubborn dogs).
We are really only having trouble with one thing:
When we are home and he hears even the slightest noise outside the door (we are in a condo with a common entrance), he jumps up and starts barking like crazy for a few minutes before he settles down. I think he hears the noise and gets excited because he thinks someone is coming over. What would be the best way to address this behavior? It can be pretty annoying especially as it gets later at night. He can be sound asleep and just hear the slightest noise and it will cause him to lose his mind for a few minutes.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
