The battle of Noise

Duke and I have been having a raging battle between my sanity and his alarm clock noise.

To try and combat his repetitive screaming, I have been using a time out system. If I bring him out and he starts screaming, he goes back into the cage. If he screams in the cage, I cover it. I have been doing this for about 2 weeks now and I think, maybe yesterday he got the idea.

I had him out on the stand and he started up. I told him to hush now or I'd give him a time out. He stopped. I am amazed because he didn't scream the rest of the day. Lets hope this trend continues. :D
