OK, I don't want you to think that I'm.....loosing it or anything. A few months ago we "babysat" one of the puppies that went to his new mommy in January. He has a sharp, nails on the chalkboard type of bark (just like his sister and mommy only louder). I remembered my aunt teaching Rocky's sister to "soft speak" ....a whisper bark. So whenever he would bark I would just look at him and say "soft speak" in a soft voice...It took about 2 days and he was barking in a whisper when I'd say "soft speak" The next day we worked on "quiet" and I had him down to grumbling when he went home. |
