| Barking What have you found is the best way to stop barking? Lately Pann has developed an awefull habit of barking at people and dogs and things blowing in the wind ...you name it and he just can not act like this. He is almost two and has never had a problem before, I think it might have something to do with a bad dog sitter a friend I thought I could trust with him but turned out not so much. So does any one have any advice that might be able to help me with this? I just want my well behaved little boy back and him not to be so afraid/vicious towards everything and everyone people are starting to be afraid of him because he seems so bad

| What I did with Princess that really helped was when she'd be barking the second she would stop I would say "No Barking" (in my "training" voice) followed immediately with "Good Girl", lot's of praise & even treats. For a while it will seem like you're doing it for nothing, but he'll learn that being quiet is how you want him to be. I think you have an advantage since he wasn't a barker before, maybe now he just has jolt his memory back to the good ole days. Good Luck!

| I agree when he starts barking, just say no in a firm voice or Relax, whichever command you like. Once he stops follow with praise!! it will help mend the behavior |
