So… we’ve been using a beeper to train Charles to stop madly barking at the neighbour. He barks, we activate the beeper, he stops. Hoping that he’ll eventually get the idea that he shouldn’t bark at the neighbour, though we may be more hopeful than we should be. The thing we didn’t consider was #corgi #spite. Ultra-powerful corgi spite. I hit the beeper, he stopped barking, and then promptly turned around to roll in a particularly pungent pile of vermin spoor. Sigh. Bath time. I should have known something like this would happen.
