how do i stop my shiba inu from barking at night?

Peter

I have a 3 yr old shiba inu who keeps barking at night. we started to tie her up during the night but that doesn't seem to help. when she starts barking we go outside to quiet her down but she later starts barking again. One of my neighbors are always complaining about her barking and threaten to call animal control and the police. what can i do to stop her from barking and what are the laws about dogs barking in portland oregon?

Answer
Are we to understand that your dog is outside all night? Bring the dog in. Crate it in your bedroom overnight. Then you'll have ready access to quiet it when it barks, as it will wake you up as well.

A dog barking continuously for ten minutes or more, or intermittently over a period of thirty minutes can result in fines if a complaint is filed. If it continues, the dog can be seized.

how much for pet sitting the following animals:?

madra

This is for overnight pet-sitting

Feed at 5pm:

9 dogs (out door during day and come in at 7:30pm in different groups and then ALL finally come inside at 9pm for bedtime, the dogs are in 3 groups because they all do not get along. There are crates inside the house (upstairs and downstairs)

2 indoor cats, 5 outdoor cats

1 hamster

2 indoor bunnies

Throw corn to wild deer outside (am and pm)

All get fresh water AM and PM.

AM routine(6:30AM) is to give them all a treat and then they go back out in there designated yard and you can leave and come back by 5pm.

Thank you in advance!
I meant to ask..how much would you charge for this service? I don't have this many pets..I'm curious how much I should ask for.

Answer
Wow, you have a lot of animals. I don't know how much a pet sitter would charge. I'll just give you a idea on how much boarding would be. But for boarding a dog I charge 18.00 a day and cat 10.00 a day. I don't board hamsters or bunnies. My dog Kennel boarding facility is in Portland Oregon. Make sure you find a good pet sitter, some of them don't have a clue. And the owner ends up having them bring their dogs in to the kennel.

dog crate for hamster cage?

Christine

Hi, I have a question...can anyone let me know if there are any negatives to using a dog crate for a cage for 2 adult guinea pigs? The normal guinea pig cages are not strong enough for me since i have cats and dogs...also can guinea pigs be litter trained like rabbits can be?

thank you.

Answer
Actually, you can find a dog crate big enough for a pair of guinea pigs. It's difficult, but they do exist. But you will have to get an expensive extra-large one. This is one example: http://www.forhappydogs.com/p-133-54-single-door-starter-series-dog-crate-1154u.aspx At 54" x 35", it's actually bigger than the recommended 50" x 30" ( http://www.guineapigcages.com/ ).

However, these types of crates have very shallow bases. It would be difficult to provide adequate bedding for a guinea pig in such a cage (unless you use fleece). Plus, the bedding would spill out and make a huge mess.

You would also have to make sure the bar spacing in the cage was narrow enough so that a guinea pig could not get its head stuck.

I don't have personal experience doing this, but honestly, it might work.

Can someone recommend a good 54" dog crate?

TAYLOR

One that is strong and durable, and at somewhat of a reasonable price. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer!

Answer
Kennel Aire is the kennel that I have preferred for the last 30 yrs. I have traveled, shown, and trained dogs and have found that this product is strong, endurable (still using mine for 30 yrs), and easy to transport (collapsible).
