How do I deal with dogs that won't stop barking?
I'm sitting for two dogs on a semi-regular basis, and they bark...at....EVERYTHING. If a car drives down the road: barking. Squirrel runs by: barking. Randomly during the night: BARKING! I am sitting in their home so it's not like they're not accustomed to the setting. I'm getting less than four hours of sleep when I sit for them because they bark and whine all night long! I'm going insane! I mentioned it to the owner, who suggested setting up a fan to drown out noise, which I did, and it helped a little, but not enough. And when they do bark, they don't listen to me when I tell them to stop. So frustrating....I need advice, otherwise I'm not going to book with them anymore. I can't....my sanity....
