| When I was training mine, I would say, "No bark" and hold my forefinger on top of her nose for a minute. She learned fairly quickly when I didn't want her to bark. She has never been really barky, though, so you may need stronger measures. Sometimes pennies in a can will help. Have you tried that? You just have to try different things to see what will work with your yorkie. It's best to stop it when they are still very young.

No Longer a Member | Rizzo does this when we're outside and he see's a stranger, or my landlady, or anyone but me really. There are times when he responds to "quiet" which I tought him when he was younger and would start barking, I'd say "quiet" and make a funny noise to get his attention, if he stopped barking I'd give him a treat and say "good quiet". He still is yappy when we're outside and the only thing I've found that works is I say "good-bye Rizzo" and walk to the front door. Once he realizes his back-up is ditching him he runs to the door. Not the best solution, but can't keep repeating a command that he's not paying any mind to, or he'll never pay attention to it. This is a tough one to gain control over, Yorkies are alert dogs so they'll bark to let you know that they see, smell, or hear something out of the ordinary. |
