The only thing that works with Taylor is using a "Bark Can".... a soft drink can with coins in it. When he barks I shake it. The first time or two you have to actually toss it at them, and startle them. Then after that you usually just need a rattle but if they don't respond look like they are going to get it tossed. Sometimes the word "Time Out" works. We have a pen type thing that sometimes he goes into when we have to contain him when we have workers or someone coming to the house to keep him from running out the front door. We've used it when he's gotten into a crazy mood and we say FIRMLY... Time Out!!! Both of these things have worked fairly well. Good luck. |
