SILENCE AT LAST!!!!!! I didn't think it was going to work the first couple times. I took him out of time out, and right away he started barking. So I followed your instructions, he stopped for a couple seconds, then started again. BUT, after a couple repetitions, no more barking! YAYYYY!!! Now on to doggie boot camp for the potty training.

Thanks for the tip, I really appreciate it! Hopefully the hardcore crate training will do wonders for both of us.
