I agree with the crate training, it should work. You need to do it consistently, on a daily basis, make it a safe haven and fun for your dog to go into. Also do not reward barking with any positive attention. I've found grabbing the snout and holding it closed, eyeballing and giving a low growl (basically dog-speak for "I'm the boss here and I want you to be quiet") works well. Our dogs are fine till the spanking begins ... then they WANT out of the room as it scares them (it doesn't seem to matter who's spanking who, it's the noise that's scary for them). So if it's to be a spanking session, we make sure they're not in the same room from the start. The cat ... well, she's always been a pervert LOL. Loves to watch anything sexual, often likes to lie alongside and demands to be petted at the same time (keeps me busy!). In her younger days she was known to ride along on top ... but that's a bit too vigorous for her now she's 18. Good luck to the OP! Maam Jay aka violet[A]
