Hi every one. just a note to let you know that Rider is doing very well with the bridging noise? I got a whistle and he took to it right away. I have never had 2 such quiet days in months and months. He goes to the vet on Thursday because he has a real problem with his anull glands and them getting infected every couple of months and also I want her to tell me some dosages of some medications to help him be a little calmer.
Thank you all again for your advice. I will keep you posted.

Today I am going to start him on the bridging and if any one know the doses of some of the drugs that were mentioned that I could give Rider I will also go and get them today also.
Thanks everyone for your kindness in helping Rider. I will keep you posted on his progress.

Try LOTS LOTS of exercise, really tire him out. Low protein food has been known to help along with benedryl, melatonin, valerian, st johns wort. Also if you are home and he barks while near you make a bridging sound, buy a whistle, then leave the room. Yelling while he is barking is barking along with him. Pleading please baby be quiet is rewarding him. Leaving the room after only the bridging noise takes away the attention he gets when he barks. I leave a radio or TV on all the time, you can move furniture if he hops on the sofa to bark out the window. But tiring him out helps with positive endophins so is the first step.

I haven't been on for a long time but I have a very important question about our 3 year old, male Chihuahua. The last year has been very hard on him. Our neighbours who have now been evicted, had 5 kids, who were his living hell. They tried to poison him twice and every time I let him out they would be there to throw bricks at him, or any thing that could hurt him. As soon as I found out I started going out with him to protect him and because of them he is now barking at every thing that walks by the house, or he imagines that some thing is there and we can't find anything. Now he is barking a great deal during the day and evening. Now he thinks every one outside our home is his enemy. We took him to the vet and had him put on a special calm diet and some medication but the medication made him start biting every one he saw. So we had to stop it.
What can I do to stop his barking???? Every thing else about this dog we love but the constant bar king and pacing is getting on every ones nerves. Please help us with him, I just love him so much.Blanche and Rider
