Have you ever watched the Dog Whisperer on Nat'l Geographic channel. He deals with the issue of the barking when taking walks alot. He says to make sure that you have a firm grip and to keep tension on the leash- don't let them lead you. You have to make sure that they are walking next to you and not walking you, so that your dog knows that you are the "pack leader" when you are walking them and that when they start to act like they are going to bark you have to make a light tug on the leash. Again you don't yell or make eye contact, you just put tension on the leash to ge their attention. I am addicted to this show!!! He is amazing!!! You should watch it!!! |
