This helps relate the sound to the reward. When the dog is barking you ignore it and wait for a break in the barking (when he is quiet for a minute) to reward the silence.
This method may be hard to understand in a written post but it has been effective with my Max. For a better idea of wht the technique involves I would recommend watching "Barking Mad" on Animal Planet, here is the website (the listings are on here) Animal Planet
Good Luck! |
I tried the clicker,,, he wants to attack it , try to bite my hand when I have it, and Barks when I make it click,,, didnt work for me,, but maybe with some, maybe I should have started it when he was younger?
