Keep doing that every time he barks until he starts to stop earlier and earlier in anticipation of the click and treat, then once you are certain he is beginning to understand (usually takes at least a few days) you can begin to say 'quiet' while he is still barking, eventually he should stop on your command waiting for his click and treat. |
Wow, so you did it? So do not treat with his barking? I heard that you must treat for barking and actually encourage it then treat it, then also quiet him and treat him, but I am NOT wanting to do this as by nature Poms are yappers and this can be detremental. I will do the bit today. I am so glad scooby does not bark more than alert barking if he feels someone is trespassing, otherwise he does not. Bandit jeeze
and so it is high pitched and squeaky
