Thank you!! You are a God send! I have been going crazy with Chloe barking at me, demanding me to do what she wants! I'm going to start this training as soon as I get home from work

yorkieholly · 02-20-2014, 03:50 AM

Than you for the tips on barking I will start this right away. Holly is a terrible barker, I have big patio window at the front and everything that moves out front starts her off on a frenzy, jumping up the window and barking like mad. I tried putting her in the kitchen to have some time out but I would be doing it all day long lol so not very practical. Tried the spray bottle but just barked more!! She is very stubborn when she wants to be and just doesn't listen to me when she is like that. Think its going to take some time but I will try your advice. Fingers crossed!!! Love her to bits though lol

If you read this thread there are some very good training instructions concerning how to teach your dog not to bark.
Most bark collars are made for larger dogs than Yorkies. I would not recommend such a device. You can train your dog not to bark. It takes some time and consistency but you can do it.

Hello, my 4 month old Bentley has started barking at my husband and son when they come home or when they come down the stairs, he barks and runs in there direction, is this territorial barking or fear barking? He has yet to let either of them pet him but he will go up to them both for treats without any fear. He is hand shy with anyone but me.

Thank you, the barking from Oscar and my shih Tzu has become unbearable. Oscar is incredibly smart....so I know he will pick this up as quickly as other commands... At least I have my fingers crossed.
This forum is invaluable!!

What is an "alert" bark?

MarkFromSea · 10-04-2014, 12:49 AM

Ours only barks about once a month now. I wish he barked more cause it's so cute! LOL
"Yip!"
Looked like great advise on the training though! Very nicely written.

I'm guessing an alert bark is a bark that tells you someone is at the door or in your yard, it's to alert you to some situation. Joey has even barked when there was smoke in the kitchen, bless his little heart.

Can someone further clarify? Where exactly would I spray? The pup's face? Or aim it a little lower? Or does the location of spraying not matter, as long as the pup gets the point and stops barking?

So, my sister's yorkie is about 16 months old. She has been horribly spoiled by everyone. We understand that we are the biggest problem. Sophie has an almost unhealthy attachment to my sister's husband. She comes to work with us (we own a printing company).

Last week, my brother-in-law was on a hunting vacation. Sophie was soooo good! She wasn't whining, crying, barking or bossing nearly as much.

Now that he is back, she is horrible! She wears herself out running back and forth to the window to look for him (he has a separate suite from the one my sister and I are in). It is constant. She cries and whines. When he comes to this side of the office, she flings herself at the gate and starts this high-pitched barking that is painful. Just painful. She will not stop until he picks her up and carries her around. If he doesn't pick her up, she increases the frequency and loudness of her barking. I don't know how something so tiny can make THAT much noise. It's deafening.

It's also incredibly disruptive.

I would welcome ANYONE'S suggestions for why and how to correct this behavior (even if it's harsh!). It's driving me completely insane.

Thank you in advance.

Oh that's very good advice!! thanks for posting it. My Cookie loves to bark at other
dogs whenever we go for a walk. It's actually quite embarrassing! he barks at really big dogs and the big dogs just walk away (most the time) and don't bark. Makes me and Cookie look pretty out of control! I am going to give your advice a good try!
Thank you!

Its not an easy to make the dogs to study .Atleast it took 1-2 times per day.
1.initially ,choose a simple command for bark or the other good choice is the”speak”or”bark”
2.Best choice for the word for silent are the “enough” or “quiet or “hush”.
3.Appraise him when he starts barks.Or get her attention with a clap.
4.immediately after barking stops,practice the quiet command in a gentle voice.
5.Create a situation that cause your dog to bark.
6.once dog gets the quiet command you can move into the bark command.

Thank you so much sparkle is a puppy but she does "challenge barking" only with me not my boyfriend when he tells her quiet he never says it twice. Me on the other hand it'll be 4or 5x before she's completely quiet

My yorkie, Koby, is almost 8 years old and we still haven't broken him of his barking habit. He has mild separation anxiety when we leave him. Also, we recently (2 years ago) got a German Shepard who is kept outdoors. My Koby will bark at her for hours and want to chase her and is so mean to her. I think he is trying to be protective. Meanwhile the German Shepard just thinks he is playing. What can I do to control the barking and to let Koby know his younger, but bigger! Sister won't hurt him or us. I'm not a fan of bark collars, didn't work for my Koby. He only weighs 4# and I think those scared him more than anything. Anyone know what a plug in would be like?
