She added to her family of four with a teacup Pomeranian called Sushi earlier this year.

But Kim Kardashian, 37, revealed she has resorted to the help of The Dog Whisperer to preserve her sanity.

The reality star adopted pomeranian teacup pooch Sushi for her four-year-old daughter North, but was forced to call in celebrity trainer Cesar Millan because the pooch's barking was driving her mad.

Sanity: Kim Kardashian, 37, revealed she has resorted to the help of The Dog Whisperer to preserve her sanity

In scenes from the latest episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim told Cesar: 'For my sanity, all I wanted was a really calm dog.'

The renowned animal trainer - who has helped celebrity clients including Jada Pinkett Smith, Frasier star Kelsey Grammer and the late Playboy tycoon Hugh Hefner - watched Kim and North playing with Sushi and quickly spotted the mistakes they were making.

Cesar told Kim that Sushi's bad behaviour was down to lack of structure and boundaries, pointing out they were rewarding the pup's misdemeanours and letting the pet have free rein of the house.

He taught Kim a number of different techniques to calm the puppy down to which she said: 'It's really exciting to know that Sushi's issues are fixable, and she's just a part of the family now, so we gotta work on it.'

Kim - who has son Saint, 23 months with husband Kanye West and is expecting a third child via a surrogate - previously tried to switch Sushi with her five-year-old niece Penelope Disick's dog Honey.

The 37-year-old reality star told her older sister she was going to keep her Pomeranian after a long visit because she had gotten used to the four-legged friend and also she felt the dog liked her 'better now.'

But the mother-of-three put up a fight and argued that Kim 'doesn't even like dogs' adding she actually 'hated dogs' in a teaser for Sunday's Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Mrs Kanye West also said she preferred the canine over own pooch Sushi, which she had given to North, because Sushi barked too much.

Kim took more to Honey because she is 'calmer.'

But Kourtney's daughter Penelope, aged five, was missing her dog.

Kim and her family spent a long time deliberating over which name to bestow on their new addition after picking up the pooch in June this year, and the beauty even ran a poll on Twitter for her fans to help select the name.

She wrote: 'So still no name for North's puppy. This is what she came up with so far... Peachy Pop (peaches for short), Baby Jesus, Cutie Pie, & Goldie.

'Please help us pick the final name!

'Wait the other name on her list is Sushi! I forgot that one. I will make a poll (sic)"

And although Peachy Pop eventually won the vote by just four percent, second place moniker Sushi was chosen as the favourite by the family.
