I have a Maltese mix with something. She was a rescue puppy and is just about the most annoying dog ever! I lover her to death though and could not picture life without her. She just turned a year.


As for the barking thing, PetSmart offers awesome training classes that are POSITIVE. Negative reinforcement like bark collars and things like that just cause more stress. I took my dog through training at PetSmart and she's doing pretty good with the obedience part. She also does not bark all the time like she used to. Most of it was because I gave her something to do and she realizes that other dogs are not a threat to her and either are people walking down the street or whatever else she can bark at.
