... that there has been a marked improvement in Rose's neurotic barking at the TV since Helen and Bill dog-sat for us a fortnight ago. I think their policy of zero tolerance has really paid off.
Not to say that she doesn't still become a little agitated, but we now anticipate her reaction and stop her in her tracks before she gets to full on barking. Consequently, she is now beginning to cope with images that would previously have caused great consternation. Occasionally she will lie and whimper a bit, but more often than not, after a sharp "No bark" and a cuddle, she will settle down quickly and quietly.
This is great progress!
