The hosing down only lasts 3 days. The silence lasts forever. Mine is quiet now and we are friends again. I also taught my dog NOT to bark. Its my opinion that people who let their dogs bark and upset the neighbors are not good dog owners and should not own dogs.
You must live far from other neighbors to allow your bird to make such a racket. If I lived close by I would not be happy as the reason I moved to the country was to hear piece and quiet not barking and crowing. Like I said it was just a few days training to let the rooster know I did not like the noise, he understood and adjusted his crowing to ONLY ONE TIME while in the coop at first light. Which is fine by me. Maybe crowing and barking is "natural" but no one wants to hear it and the animals can be trained NOT to do it. Or should I say the owners need to be trained? How did you train your birds not to crap on the carpet and furniture?
Okay... First of all, he is in the house. The neighbors never have to hear a peep out of him. The only people that hear the crowing are me and the other people that live in the house. Our only issue with his crowing is the AMOUNT that he does it. We don't want him to never crow, we just want him to stop crowing quite so much, and so loud. There isn't a need to train him not to crow. So as I said, I am not going to. He doesn't need to be trained to never crow. As for the dog barking, I don't see how that relates in any way to what we are talking about.
