Yeppers, that was my post. I'm glad you like that toy. I don't put anything in my version that rattles, but Gizmo has other toys that do rattle that he likes.
I really think the metal clanging sound is what does it as the barking deterrent. It must really annoy the heck out of them. That and the firm "no" that goes along with it.
There's also just something about doing it while they bark and stopping when they do. They can control it in a way and I think that's one reason it works. Yorkies can be stubborn. (As if any of us didn't know that already! lol)
