If all these fail, try squirting her with a 50-50 mixture of vinegar and water. Set the spray bottle on "stream" and be prepared with bottle in hand. The second she starts that barking, squirt ONE spray at her with whatever no word/sound you use (this "ergh" sounds great, I"m gonna try that!). Then as soon as she's quiet, praise her "good quiet" all happy-like.
Make sure NOT to use the same word in the correction as in the praise. For example, don't squirt and say "quiet", and then say "good quiet" when you praise for stopping barking. That is confusing. |
