we have had barking issues with our 18 month old spayed sophie. Imfollowing the dog whisperer s advice, ceaser Millan. when sophie starts to bark at anything/anyone etc,we put her long puppy lead on her, usually just this stops her from barking, if not give it a quick jerk (not enough to hurt of course ) and say ssshhhh. thats it nothing else,repeat if neccessary but be consistent, u are the pack leader, we dont ususally have to resort to the lead now just the ssshhh is enough,but catch it before your dog gets to the bark, just have to work on her trying to "kill " other dogs when she s on the lead now !! |
