I've never had a barker so I don't know if it works, but it's worth a try.
You just KNOW a yorkie came up with this bark therapy, lol. Treat when they bark.........and a treat when they don't bark. Preston is always trying to bark/bully me into getting up and giving him a biscuit. I always just tell him "I'M the alpha". Pity he doesn't buy into it.
