When they stop, then give them a hug or a small treat and say "Good _ _ _ _" name and praise the dog. Keep it up until they get the idea. All I have to do now is tell my baby, "Abby, mommy squirt? " and she quiets right down! The she will run over and lick the spray bottle nozzel!!! She knows it dosn't hurt, it is just annoying...... like crazy barking is annoying to us
Don't get me wrong, barking is natural,right in some situations and a dog's gotta bark, but, not Crazy barking !!!! | |
