We just don't have a real barking problem. Not that she does not enjoy barking but she does know what "no" means. If she gets carried away while she is playing I will tell her "enough!" and that usually stops it. If not we go to "No!" and then "sit!." I have heard of spraying with water and all the rest but teaching your dog some basic commands is just so much easier in the long run. |
Training does work most of the time, but the water bottle is highly effective. My dog knows exactly what no means, but she communicates her wants very well - - almost too well. Hence the water bottle.
