I had started a thread 2 weeks ago about what I did to get Lucy to stop barking. I had tried everything, even a no-bark collar while in the pet store. The collar did not work. But I found something that worked. It took me one year of barking to figure this out. When she was barking I pick up a magazine and hit it really hard on the table. The noise scared her so much she stopped barking and froze. She was not afraid of other noises like coins in a can, or spray bottles or anything else. She tried to bark again after a little while and I did it again. She stopped barking and froze again. Now I carry a magazine in my purse, in the car, and on walks to remind her. It has been almost 2 weeks and she is still not barking. And, she is also better behaved. She has become an angel. Let me know if it works for you. I was surprised only two people read my thread when I know that many people have this problem. I wanted others to try this to see if it works for everone or if it just work for me. Let me know. Make sure you hit the table really hard.
