rjhammy Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 As is my 2 year old CAG. About 3 weeks ago, they were testing the fire alarm in my building... and yes... SHE LEARNED HOW TO MIMIC IT! And yes... she loves it! Up until now, we haven't had a problem with screaming or obnoxious noises. But now she constantly does the fire alarm. We've tried to ignore it... but she's just too smart for us! For example, when she starts beeping, and I want to discourage it before it gets out of hand. When she goes on a beeping rampage...I get up and leave the room. It worked for about a day. Now... she'll do one beep. And then beep beep. Then beep beep beep. She's testing me isn't she? To see how many beeps she can get away with? Also... she'll beep and I get up and then she'll say "mama, love you" or "wanna play" as I'm walking away. I don't want to confuse her... because I'm trying to ignore her for the beep... not the talking. Do you think she's considering leaving the room as attention? Should I stop leaving the room? Any advice is much appreciated!<br><br>Post edited by: rjhammy, at: 2010/03/28 03:40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittykittykitty Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 The only thing I know to do is ignore it. As for other words you can repeat them and say "What a good girl", giving her lots of praise. They do pick up sounds very quickly, don't they.

Luvparrots Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I would ignore it and hope she gets tried of it. That's what I do when Ana Grey does an unacceptable sound and for me it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
