A 4 year old dog - grown too tall in the leg to be a Pom. He is a recent acquisition. Very spoilt by previous Owners and now me. Charming, very noisy (barks at everyone and everything), very affectionate. Dislikes my Maid and grumbles at her all the time, sometimes nipping her shoes and ankles. He is lead trained. Can we stop this incessant barking? Dog is castrated.

How long have you had him? How much time per day is he in your direct and immediate space for close supervision?
