if you respond to him occasionally its like playing the lottery for him - he'll try even harder because sometimes he gets a reward. He will keep barking because it sometimes gets him what he wants.
are you able to try completely ignoring him or maybe even leaving the room every time he barks no matter how long he does it (go out / get earplugs?) for a week and see if that reduces the problem?
If that doesnt work could you maybe take him to a training class or ask a trainer for help? |
