I like the sound of this quick fix for someone who has an OCD type barking issue with a dog but no time to enter into an program of obedience training, life enrichment and exercise to teach a dog how to control its impulses, enjoy the bonding and teamwork of training and games, gain a full appreciation of how learning to obey commands and please you is his gateway to his best life and fulfillment and take in some high-quality exercise together to improve his energy level and health and work out some tensions and anxieties. You can literally modify any dog's bad behavior and change him or her into a model pet with just a little time, gentle patience, love and fun together and needn't always be looking for quick fixes or constant help with this problem or that through simple training, keeping a dog's life interesting and challenging and seeing that it exercises regularly with you.
But until you do, if you have a bad barker, here is something that might work for some of you, "borrowed" directly from a website called
Clicker Solutions. Here's the training article called "You Won The Prize!" and it's by Kathy Johnson:
