By the way Teresa, you might want to write a sticky for the library instead of writing this all out in detail each time.

I wish we could get the "no bark" and water bottle to work. Rhett thinks the bottle is a game and he tries to "bite" the water.

You can subsitute the water aversion for another aversion like a loud noise. It's the other part of the training that's important. Allowing them to bark to alert you and then quieting them down when it's enough.

Allie will take a dip in the pool, in the shower and even in her water bowl. A spray bottle doesn't work to deter her barking....she just sits there and plays in it as I spray. Goofy dog. She hates being given a bath though.

Harry too! He sits with his mouth open, moving his head to try to catch it! We've tried the pennies in the can and also a short blast on a whistle!

It was sometimes like I was practising for a band in our front room! 'Enough' accompanied by a sharp hand clap was what eventually worked for our Harry

If you are consistent with these babes...you can teach them anything and quickly!!

lola is learning the term "Enough" pretty well, even without use of the bottle. I think i used the bottle two times. the sight of it is enough to quiet her down. though i do allow her to bark then ask "do u have to go outside" and if that prompts her darting around and we go out she always at least pee pees. so that is ok
