this is the way we are trying to curb it before it becomes a problem. she already knows speak...so i want to now teach her to keep speaking over and over and over and then say "quiet" and she will stop and get a treat for stopping!

hope this method works well for you as well

I tried the pennies in a can method for Sugar...but she is too skittish (possible abusive 1st home) So I switched to a vitamin bottle!!! It SERIOUSLY works with her

Great suggestion, you want to make the sound aversive enough to get their attention, but not so aversive that they are scared to death.

We have used the ultrasonic device and it works well for mine. Problem was, one of my babies, who isn't a barker, HATES it. When we push the button, she runs and hides and stays hidden for some time!!

I would love to teach the speak command and then the quiet command but my biggest offender (yet smallest in the house, of course!) won't have it. I can't get her to bark on command!! Any ideas there?? I have started telling her 'enough' and that helps but we still need some work!!

I like pennies in the can but, I can't take the noise. That's why we opted for the ultrasonic instead. I think either the can or ultrasonic would freak out the "good" child in this case!

Ahhhh! Too many dogs, too many personalities!!

Ok, the trainer came out on Mon night and gave us Henry's diagnosis, he's Neurophobic !!! Afraid of EVERYTHING !! (we knew that!), but, basically, we just have to have him face his fears, introduce him to it, show him that it won't hurt him, and keep doing it, till he isn't afraid of it anymore. It's going to take patience and time. So, we'll go from here. She also told us about using a dog whistle, he does very well with that!

Lily watches TV like a person!! She goes crazy barking at any kind of animal that comes on and grabs one of her toys and shakes it like crazy!!lol We have tried everything to get her to stop and nothing works!! She wakes up out of a sleep and barks!!! Any type of violence on TV sets her off too!!lol

Amazon.com: Pet Parade's Dog Repeller, Black...

here is some info about it

Eliminates barking and annoying behavior by emitting a piercing ultrasonic tone that pets hate, but humans can barely hear. Stop dogs from jumping, barking and biting

I would definitely recommend It for Barking

Well Yesterday I took it outside when it was Polo's potty time, and he saw a dog he goes crazy and starts barking. I pressed the button for about 5 seconds he tilted his head looked at me like WHAT THE HECK and Completely stop barking.

I got the same thing exactly!! How close did you put it to your dog?? Lily seems like she hears it but it doesn't make her stop!! I don't know if I am holding it close enough or what?? I was hoping it would help!! THANKS!!

I normally hold it about 5 feet away. Today he started barking and I clicked it and he stopped barking and I was like 20ft away. It has a warning not to use with in 1 foot of your pet cause it can damage there hearing.
