First is you ignore ... Never acknowledge the barking or growling
And do not .... Do not try to say no
Or make eye contact
That will just lengthen the barking jag
Leave the room and come back only when they stop
Praise them when they do stop |
What if you can't leave the room because you are potty training and you can't keep your eye off of him? My problem is that he'll growl/bark when he's tethered to me...can't really punish him by putting him in his crate because he's supposed to "like" being in there...
