See your veterinarian to help rule out any medical cause for Miss Petunia’s barking, and if none is found, seek the advice of a dog trainer who uses positive reinforcement techniques to help curb this behavior. In the meantime, see the following links for information on controlling barking: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&C=107&A=876&S=1, http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&C=107&A=1378&S=1
