Your cat taught him? LOL

Max was quiet until he was 6 months old. Everyone was determined to teach him how to bark.

If Gizmo is randomly barking, not out the window at something work on the "quiet" command. Or use "enough" firmly. If he complies, give him a small treat.

I let Max and Teddy bark at the doorbell, but if they don't stop, I announce that I am leaving. Then I leave the room and they quit.

There are several threads and I think a sticky post in the training forum with more ideas.
