I have been advised that my comment of 29th January has caused much upset. This remark was made completely tongue in cheek and never intended to be taken literally or seriously. It was certainly not my intention to cause hurt or upset to anyone but I see that it has and for that I apologise unreservedly to you all.

<p>Thanks for the giggle...sounds like she is a smart one and just is showing you life is a game and she wants to play it with you. If standing still does not work try turning away from her....do not make eye contact but you can peek at her to see what she is doing and do not laugh outloud as you try to ignore her! All too soon she will grow out of her teenage wildness and believe it or not you'll look back and laugh and sometimes even miss it! I do agree that calm is best as a lot of what…</p>

I do agree that calm is best as a lot of what they pull is for reaction and attention from us....if they get the attention they want or the chase they will repeat the behavior cause it worked last time.</p>

Wow I never expected so many replies! Thank-you all for your words of wisdom. I have tried squirting her with water when she barks but she loves it and it turns into a game which makes her bark more! Also she loves any citrus smells - she keeps trying to eat the lemon flash wipes when I am cleaning. She loves playing in the garden and as the weather has finally reached above freezing hopefully she can burn off some of her excess energy outside. I have checked with our neighbours and they…
Wow I never expected so many replies! Thank-you all for your words of wisdom. I have tried squirting her with water when she barks but she loves it and it turns into a game which makes her bark more! Also she loves any citrus smells - she keeps trying to eat the lemon flash wipes when I am cleaning. She loves playing in the garden and as the weather has finally reached above freezing hopefully she can burn off some of her excess energy outside. I have checked with our neighbours and they cannot hear her at night so we will ignore her barking and see if that helps. Am also trying to stand still and ignore her when she jumps up - only problem is she is nearly as tall as me and it is difficult to ignore her when she is licking my ears, face or anwhere she can reach. She is such an inquisitive girl, whatever I am doing she has to be right next to me helping! Have dug my Cesar Milan training book out as I like his calm approach. Eva not sure if you were joking or not but I don't believe that violence is the solution to any problem and will certainly not be beating her. In my experience setters are intelligen,t loving, gentle dogs that eventually respond to training (when they feel like it). Once we have ironed out all these teething problems I'm sure she will be her normal gorgeous self. Once again thanks for all your advice and I will keep you updated on how things go.

<p>Sue....Guardsman or Barjo do dog guards, tailor made to your car, that do not fall on your head. There are others. If you stop suddenly your dog will fly over your head and straight through the windscreen......no laughing matter!!!!!</p>
<p>Ossian.....I think Sue is just using that as an excuse to buy new carpets!!!!!! Nice one............</p>
