Don't know if this will help, but I broke my larger yorkie (Bengie) from barking by taking a newspaper (rolled up) and would slap it against my hand, wall, whatever and repeat "No bark, No bark" until he stopped and then when he did not bark, rewarded him with praise and/or a treat. It worked, he stops now when I say, want me to get the paper? Hope that this helps, I NEVER HIT OR TOUCH THE DOG! I never advocate corporal punishment in any training or breaking of bad habits. Praise and treats work wonders. |
