It sounds a little crazy but I whisper to mine, literally. I go get them, put them on my lap and whisper "no barking" in their ears. It helps but I can't say they never bark because yorkies are terriers and terriers bark. It's interesting, though, that when we are in bed, they will not bark, even when the dog behind us is going nuts barking. I have glass front doors and when someone or a dog walks by, sometimes they can't resist and will bark. If it gets on my nerves or whispering doesn't work, I go to bed, watch TV there in perfect peace. Go figure. |
