,,,,the only way I know is a firm "no" and as soon as they stop even for a millisecond I praise them w treats, then eventually just praise.....you want them to be a good watch dog and to let you know it's ok to bark if they see something suspicious but that they don't have to go on and on....now if mine bark when they shouldn't I just look at them and go "excuse me, what's that about".... |
