Ep105 - My Dog Barks at Random Sounds! [Q&A]

• Panos answers Aaron's question sent in via our Instagram:
• "Luna has all of a sudden heard something in our building garage and elevator that sends her barking. She was well socialised to the carpark and elevator as she has been doing the same walk to and from the car since day one. If you on the podcast could discuss fixing a problem like this where a dog is guaranteed to bark in a certain situation and the steps you would take to rectify. Like how you would make use of treats and what to do when she starts barking (e.g make her sit). The bigger issue being we cannot avoid it as we need to go that way to get to car."
