My brother-in-law uses a method taught to him by their dog trainer. He keeps a mini water bottle with about 10 coins in it. When their Yorkie barks, he gets close to her and shakes the bottle. She is startled into silence. He did it repeatedly until she got the correlation. She is now at the point that you only have to shake the bottle once and the barking stops for good. I have a 13 week old and plan to try this method if she ends up being a barker. |
