I would do that too when they he would bark at first when I got him... I would say "No Bark!", but what I read in the book is that if you acknowledge their barks, they look at it as if you are "talking/barling" back at them. Bunny has been harder to train than Tino, bc sometimes if I'm inthe kitchen, she'll want people food and will bark at me and when I turn my back to her, she'll follow me, so I have to either walk away from her or I sit down in a chair and just act like she isnt there and that I can't hear her. She doesnt stop immediately, but she does get bored quickly and just walks away. I get really nervous about doing this bc I live in a condo and I'm afraid my neighbors are going to complain, but I know if I don't get a handle on it, then she's gonna be a yapper! Good luck! I hope this works for you! |
