i got a new dog.
so i adopted a dog maybe like a month ago? and
she came from a puppy mill, so she had like a liter or two of puppies. shes a bichon/poodle, shes about two years old and shes very sweeet and tiny.
since puppymills abuse puppys and treat them like crap, shes very scared of everything. she found trust in my mom before everyone else so she follows her EVERYWHERE. and every little noise she hears she starts barking and growling. my dad got soo mad yesterday cause he cant take it anymore that he seriously started screaming. i thought it wad just one of those fases he goes through when he gets mad, but i guess not becuase i woke up this morning and my mom told me she is waiting for the lady who runs the adopting thing to call her back. which obviously means were giving her back. and ive been crying my eyes out because of it.
is there any way we can get her to stop barking. i know some people spray there puppies when there bad, but its hard to do things to her becuase she gets scared so easily. i neeed help ! i want to keep her and im afraid i wont get to :[

Well, i dont mean to be a butthead, but maybe you are being selfish and not realizing it. Puppy mills are very bad, and she needs the right family that can understand her special needs. If your dad is getting frustrated then you should find the right pet together. Or maybe you can research puppy mills and other pets from puppy mills, and help your father understand that dogs can suffer from abuse and trauma, just like a human, and all that she needs is gental love and trust. most times the pet adopts us.

When we got my dog, he CONSTANTLY barked after he got comfortable with us, yuh know? so my vet suggested we invest in a muzzle. they are really cheap, come in all sizes, and are sold at pet shops...like Pet Co. and such. it's a soft material that you clip around the dogs snoot [big enough for them to breathe out of] and it just shuts their mouth so they can't bark. Whenever my dog used to bark alot, we put it on him, said, "no barking" and then we kept doing this, until we would only take the muzzle out [not putting it on him] and he wouldn't bark. and finally we didn't have to take it out anymore, we just said,"no barking." and he is usually quiet unless something isn't right. so tell your mom to get one of those. it'll be worth it.
hope i helped ! xxo good luck !

well i have a dog who barks constantley because he always wants to play with us but we started taking him to training and hes been better the trainer told us to throw water at the dogs face if it keeps barking most dogs hate water so thats y they will stop and if that doesnt work then instead of screaming at it grab the dog and put it in your lap and say shh no puppy and just comfort it until its quiet this should work if you have anymore questions feel free to ask :D
