Calm Behavior

I was about to lose my mind because of him…

One day, I came home exhausted from work and heard Riko’s barking echoing through the whole neighborhood. My heart started racing… I walked in and saw him barking non-stop at the sound of the microwave.

I felt so embarrassed in front of the neighbors… I ended up yelling at him to stop… But the truth? That only made his fear and stress worse.

🔑 When did things change? Instead of yelling… I tried a simple, gentle training. Every time he heard the sound, I told him “Sit” and gave him his favorite treat. And within a week… The microwave would beep, and Riko would sit calmly waiting for his treat, no barking.
