To make your pet stop screaming at other people, teach her some commands that will get her attention and reward her for obeying them. Photo: TNS/Dreamstime
Dear Joan: I have a three-year-old Apple Head Chihuahua who has a bad habit of screaming loudly every time I open the front door and she sees our next-door neighbour.
She gets so excited that she scratches the screen and starts screaming. I’ve tried squirt bottles, closing the door and keeping the door closed as long as she screams. Nothing seems to work. Have any suggestions?
