I have a Puggle, Millie who is crazy about getting at my tortoises. She barks at them constantly and will not leave them alone. When Fred and Ethel are outside in their enclosure and Millie goes out she makes a beeline for it and will run around it until she finds one of them. Once she finds one, she will bark and bite at the fence trying to get in. She will do this for hours if I let her. I had to increase the strength of the fencing, so she could not break in. Once she gets an idea in her little head she will not stop.
Does anyone know of a way that I can get her to calm down? I have had two trainers come to the house and they tried working with her, but to no avail. She has a one-track mind and it to get Fred and Ethel. She used to go after squirrels my solution was to put up a squirrel feeder and over stimulate her with them this worked after about 2 weeks, but Fred and Ethel have been going on for a year now and she still will not let them be. The mere mention of their names put her into a frenzy.
Any ideas would be appropriated.
