Kidding! Here is a thread with some ideas:

Max gets a little too talkative when he hasn't had enough exercise, and he is in love with the power of his voice. He can be really stubborn about it, so I can relate to having tried all of the usual tricks.
The one thing that seems to work for us is a party air horn. I don't have to actually use it. Instead, after giving the command to "quiet," I pick it up and say, "Do you want the horn?" (anyone reading this, never hold the horn close to a dog or point it directly at them, and this isn't for sensitive Yorkies). It really isn't that loud, but he doesn't like it.
You do have a big challenge with a kitty who likes to egg on Gizmo.
