Tonight Alex and I tried to train Little P one more thing besides toilet training - barking, I mean, stop barking.

Mom reported that Little P responded verbally towards the dish washing sound coming from kitchen - as long as the dish washing continues, he barks.  I did some research on this and found that in situation like this the dog is nervous/ stressed out under the unknown noise. The resolution is to educate it that it is a normal sound and it means no harm.

So tonight, we took turns to mimick the dish washing sound and yes, Little P responded by barking.  So we bring him to show him what it's about. I found that he is most sensitive to load sounds when the dishes hit the sink. It's obvious that he doesn't like that noise.

In the midst of this training we also found that Little P doesn't welcome Alex' mobile ring-tone neither and responded with the same attitude. So we do the same thing, let the phone ring and bring it close to him, let him investigate and comfort him.

I know that Little P won't change over night but we will have faith.
