Saje you are confused, as I can see, and I don’t know why.
Yes I want to bark to stranger as a warning not to approach but I can’t stand his boredom bark during the night. If he barked during the morning there wouldn’t be a problem. But now he just makes me lose my sleep. You see except the dog I also have needs and one of them is sleep.
Yes I want him to be protective to my home and my family and just because I don’t let him get in the house that don’t mean that he is not part of my family. Maybe sound odd to you but dogs are animals and they feel better when they are in theirs natural environment, that’s means outdoors. Don’t take it as personal attack (neither you CreatureTeacher) but where do you think the dog will be happier, imprisoned in a 100 square meters apartment where they can feel the freedom only 1 hour per day during the walks or outside having some thousand square meters to run and explore? I know that all you are thinking that the dog will be happier when you are with him. And where is this best to happen? Of course outside. I think that if you truly love this animal you have to try spent as many hours you can with him outside, at his natural environment, and not lock him up to an apartment. The best formula for dog-human relation is the dog outside and the human with him. This formula I follow until today and I don’t even think to get the dog inside the house. Once again I do this because I care for him and I am considering that having the dog inside and contain him in a small apace is one of the cruelest things that we can do to a dog.
One more thing. I DON’T want to make him aggressive just cautious. I don’t want a killing machine but a cautious dog that doesn’t storm in every human near him and treat him like his best friend. Just that.
Because the night barking is real problem, which is getting bigger as the time passes can you suggest me a method to get rid this problem? I exhaust him playing with him not for 10 min but 1:30 hour before he sleeps but still was woke up very early. That’s why I am thinking the collars because there are an easy way. What do you suggest me to use?
Please do not consider anything I written above as a personal attack. I don’t have any intension like that, I am just expressing my thoughts about this issue. After all you are real saviors for me. You have explained to me so many things that I will never figure them out by my own. Thanks again for you help.
