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.
This is interesting because Mattie has a high pitch bark too. Maybe I'll have to try this too.
