I can hold up my cell phone or remote control and say no bark too and that even works. It does take being consistent. I will let mine bark a couple of times if they hear something outside and run to the door barking. I still want them to alert us to something outside, just not to bark constantly. |
That what I use too, it's been a really great training aid. Joey was really bad when we went to places like Home Depot, and I've taken it along with me and he's so good now. He's even allowing people to pet him again. I think barking can make them overly agitated and this kind of nips it in the bud. We still allow him to do some barking, but not just anytime he wants. This is a good thread on the Bark Repeller. Remember don't use closer than 6 feet, you could cause them to become more agitated.
