Mouthy Maltese pomeranian desperately needs trainer
Hi there....about 1 1/2 years ago, we adopted the cutest maltese pomeranian through craigslist rehoming. She is around 2 or 3 years old and very mouthy and teritorial. She is sweet to some people and always wants to stay hi, but then she barks at neighboors and at EVERYTHING. I have tried everything....quiet training, vibrate collar, high sound, keep her busy by enrolling her in bi weekly pack walk (all I can afford) and cook a homemade food for her (under vet guidance). She is also stubborn, so when she barks, she is losing it. I love her, but she drives me nut. With partially working from home, she conveniently barks during my or hubby's meeting.

Sorry about your barking BARKING dog. For us, owners of a 4 year old terrier/lab, HIGH energy dog, exercise was/is essential. I taught her how to fetch (per youtube). And this has been crucial. She runs like crazy for the ball at Pt. Isabel now. Also TRAINING is super important: highly recommend https://oaklanddogtraining.org/classes.aspx -- Oakland Dog Training is ocated near Costco. -- You might find that 'scent' training, from Albert at ODT, will help too...but 1st basic obedience..with other dogs/people around. PS: We tried Petco, but classes were too small/area was too. We also tried a high $ training group. Ultimately, we're very thankful to have found Oakland Dog Training. All the best.
Biscuit Training! At first I was very hesitant about working with a trainer via Zoom but they are truly wonderful and it has been so so helpful for our family.
