It took Muffin half an hour only to calm down after we left the house.

She poo in the new pee tray in the morning. We didn't exactly bring her out immediately but hope she understands. This time round I didnt let her out to round her lungs out in the house. Instead, I confine her in the kitchen while putting her delicious main meal IN the play pen with water.

It's obvious she like the kitchen better than e play pen. Read that some dogs does better when they are not given the whole house to run. This is true for territorial or protective dogs. I would think muffin is the latter coz she's insecure?

Shrugs. I'm not jumping with joy on any improvements. Coz I'm THAT at wits end.

Last night, she performed her full blast vocals again. Of coz I'm frustrated! But I told myself to reward quiet time. As a chance of no noise came, even though she's still standing up, I gave her her food. Seemed to work. Jackpot and left bowl there and I doze off.

In the afternoon, friends came. As usual she barked and barked and barked and barked. I removed the water but retained the food bowl. When there is rare moment of silence, we went it to drop some food. I hope she understands. Of coz, she exploded whn my friends walked into the kitchen. Well, no difference from last time but I'm no longer stressed that my poor muffin is suffering in that sense. The more I exposed the more chance of correcting.

We had a wedding dinner at night, I scoop almost a cup full of food, together with her water bowl, put it down while my men are wearing shoes. She could see the actions ad hear them. I dropped both water and food ad hurried out of the house. Didn't bark. At carpark, we heard something but not sure if it's her. From ipcam, she looked puzzled ba. Can't hear if she was barking but she settled down pretty fast, 15 mins from the time we left.
