If they are barking at the door, when someone comes. The second they stop barking say a word "quiet" or something and give a treat. use the word as the marker for the good behavior. they will eventually learn that being quiet for a few seconds gets a treat.
Like I said I read it in a book, Harley doesn't bark that much so there has been no reason to try it, but it sounds like it should work. |
