Have you tried using a "Bark Can"? Basically it's just an empty soft drink can that you put a few coins in. When they start barking shake it and toss it toward them. It startles them. Usually from then on you don't have to toss it at them....just rattle it loudly and they stop. We had a Schnauzer and a Silky Terrier and it worked wonders... I kept cans in certain locations in the house so if they would start to go crazy barking I would have one within reach. They actually would swallow their barks...and just go buff buff...that was barely audible. I use it now with Taylor our 8 month old Yorkie. It is working. It's just a thought that I hope might work for you. |
