I guess you could ring yourself and pretend you're on the phone and practice a training routine. Some trainers suggest having them lie down or sit, and giving them a reward, for good behavior although you do have to be careful that the dog doesn't think you're rewarding the barking. Is it your house phone? Maybe just ringing it 50's times a day, will make him get use to the noise. |
I agree! I would try that. Overkill! They hear it so much that they get used to it and don't bark anymore. I hope it works.
