Every time they started barking, i shook the can and said QUIET. Now all i have to do is say QUIET, and they shut up. I keep the can handy and have only had to shake it a couple of time after that. They don't bark hardly at all now...at least i can control it with the shaker can. Yorkie ears are very sensitive so this really gets their attention fast and they stop.
Hope it helps you guys out too!  |
This really worked for us. I read about it somewhere on YT and thought I would give it a shot. We have a pug and a yorkie and they used to just bark and bark and bark
. The problem got worse this spring when they began to bark at other dogs from inside the house. My husband thought I was nuts but now we have a "no bark" can. They have stopped barking considerably. Now they stop if we pick up the can or if we say "no bark". They even listen to my 7 year old when he says "no bark". Good Luck!
