Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! I need advise for getting my 15 month old yorkie to stop barking at other dogs & sometimes people when we are out on our walks. It is so embarrassing and once he starts it takes a long time for him to cool off and cease the barking. I have tried the pennies in the can and I have tried the squirt bottle and I have tried distracting him and redirecting his attention (which is impossible). I have also tried changing my voice and a firm 'No'....which does nothing. Please let me know what has worked for you. Thanks!:) |
Does he have a favorite treat? When walking and you see another dog approaching, get his attention with a treat... get down to his level and say "no bark"... BEFORE he starts barking. Give him the treat. Keep his mind off from barking.... and getting a reward for not doing so. Hope it works for ya! |

Thank you. We will give that a try. We are going for a walk in about 10 minutes so I will let you know how it goes. :) |
Its all about the treats!!! lol Let us know how it goes. |
I have the same problem..let me know if it works:confused: |
I agree, you want to get their attention before they go nuts. I would also recommend that if your dog starts to bark, make a distinctive "ah ah!" sound, then turn around and go in the other direction until they calm down. Assuming your puppy is barking because he's excited, he should learn that he doesn't get to greet the other dog unless he's calm. I also recommend in general that you make sure he is getting a lot of exercise, since that should mellow your pup out and make him easier to control. |
