I have known several dogs who have become quite vocal in old age due to a combination of breed traits and confusion .
I would reassure him and calm him rather that using 'shock' training methods at this age.
I feel that way about some of the feral children and youths where I live. No to mention some of the adults.
In most cases it's the owners who need shooting...
Yes to both (depending on the situation, my dad wanted one of us to shoot him when he was dying of lung cancer but that's another story).
I've had dogs and cats all my life but for the past 3 years we've had to put up with a neighbour who has had a random collection of dogs, all of which left outside in all weathers, sometimes left alone for a few days at a time, and all of which bark at all hours. Council have failed to do anything and the RSPCA were turned away at the door so couldn't do anything and haven't yet been back with the police and he's intimidated other neighbours who have complained about him so you'll forgive me if, after 3 years of putting up with his nonsense, I feel like shooting him rather than his helpless dogs.
Oh, and maybe you should stroke your dog. Show it some love.
But dogs that aren't being properly controlled should be disposed of.
Perhaps she's going deaf?
Exactly as above. My otherwise healthy 15 old dog has been showing signs of confusion for about six months and cries out at me (for attention), every five minutes or so. (Some days are better than others for her). She also misses my husband who died last month, so this is compounding her confusion. All you can do is keep reassuring your dog that's everything's ok.
Perhaps a trip the the vets might be helpful, to rule out illness.:)
How insightful.
So shoot the dog and the owner gets a new dog.
Shoot the owner and problem solved
