Our black Lab has been with us for 3 weeks, she is now 11 weeks. We have a 12 year old lab as well. The puppy has barked at the older dog since the day she arrived, either when she won't play, engage or when she snaps at her. She is very confident, not scared of the older dog at all. This happens with other dogs who won't play, but also in other scenarios. She is very vocal, not something we have experienced with either of our other puppies. We are trying Pippa's click for quiet technique, but any suggestions on how best to tackle this problem? We definitely don't want her growing up into a noisy dog, so need to nip in the bud. Many thanks!
Mollie used to shout at Tatze to play. Tatze rarely obliged. I just distracted Mollie every time with toys and games with me. She grew out of it
