Agree with the poster that said you need to do what works for your Yorkie. Or some variation and combination thereof. Razzle and Magic wouldwill startle at a can of pennies, and go right back to barking. What is working recently (which will of course stop working in another wk or so) is a dinner Bell! That is for most not too bad things in doggy terms. But the POSTMAN at the door the Dreadfull..Awfull.. POSTMAN, they go nuts and nuts and nuts. Magic levitates off the ground, and does this all along our front window, as the stupid git insists on walking about 2 feet from the front window across our yard to the next house. BTW the postal workers are Not supposed to walk across the yards when they deliver mail.

Unfortunately for that one I have been unsuccessful in training the craziness out of them.


Sharp sibilant "ssss""" sounds have worked. we use the word Good Boy Done Now. If stop bark then Reward.

The two finger quick neck press has worked. Redirect muzzle and block view with your body has worked. Come/Front obedience commands have worked.

As you can see there are lots of things I've tried, but I have to say the Postman is still the winner in the barking triggers.
