Therefore catching him doing and being good rather then reinforcing the not so good. Dogs and human alike tend to do more of anything that is noticed more even if it nocied by being punished.
so ignore the barking and listen for an intact of air and reinforce that and you will see more of it... it will take time.

I've actually tried the treat thing with him. His problem isn't just a little yipping... he really makes a scene. One time I had him in there and I drug him away and a few minutes later this lady was playing with Smokey and Chip and was like "Did you hear all the rukus?!" and I said "Yea, that was him"
