Hi
Our Jack Russell is being a royal pain!
She's gotten into the habit of jumping onto the couch with a toy, dropping it onto the floor and loudly barking until someone picks it up. It doesn't matter how many times you tell her to get down, she just ignores you and carries on. We've tried ignoring it but, and I'm not joking, she did it for 25 minutes one night until someone picked it up! It's no use pushing her down either 'cos she'll just stay on the floor and bark up at you. She does this as well when she wants to play. She'll grab a toy, drop it near you and bark at you until you give in. It's driving us mad 'cos she's so loud and it's just constant noise until she gets what she wants!
Telling her off just makes it worse 'cos her tail starts wagging and she gets louder!
We've tried everything with her and nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions? She's just over 12 months old btw x
