Enough Barking ! - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Kpodiamonds · 09-07-2012, 08:54 AM

Hello,
first post here...

Since Lilly was a puppy i would mostly keep her in my bedroom so i could keep an eye on her and train her on her pee pads. now its timw to get her to stay in her crate in the living room.

for the past few nights i've put her in her crate in the living room. i even leave a tini fan (for the noise since i have AC going in my bedroom) and the TV on really low. She will start barking in the night. Since i live in an apaprtment ( with landlord below, and close neighbors) im quick to run and tell her no and to stop. Last night this was at 130am, 330am and 630 am! oh im tired! i need her to know there is no barking inside her crate at any times.

sorry if i missed in the thread something similar.

My Lilly is barking at night in her crate at random times. i am trying to pout her in the living room after being in the bedroom for a while. I live in an apartment so i cant let the barking go.

Puddles is 5 1/2 months old and she is soooo guilty of bossing everyone around with her barking. I also am going to print this and make copies and to put everywhere I can think of for my husband and grown son! Puddles has both my guys trained - when I come home she is in someone's lap. Both say she will not stop barking. She has an exercise pen that she is suppose to stay in if I am not there (My guys don't pay enough attention to what she may be getting into or chewing on to leave her loose all the time). Now that she has the guys trained, she is working on me too. I put her in the pen to go take a shower and I hear her barking the entire time. Maybe this will get EVERYONE on the same page

help me. I am new here. I have a Yorkie, one and one half year old. He is a good dog when no one is around but me. when someone comes to the door, he barks like crazy. when my husband comes home in the evening, he stands and barks and him when he sits down to rest. I need help. this is driving my husband crazy and at times me also. We have bought a no barking collar and it is not helping. I need help. My husband is almost to the place whee he wants to get rid of our dog. I need help

Teresa Ford is the person who started this thread. She is experienced at training small dogs and has written extensively about barking. You might want to click on her name and send her a personal message. I'm sure she could give you some good advice and refer you to some other threads about the subject. It is going to take some extra training on your part but it can be done.

WOW! I am a new Mom, Bella is 5 months now and this mini training session is so helpful for me. THANK YOU so much for taking the time.....Bella's bark training is also starting today. She barks back at us and yes it is cute, we laugh.....all is about to change!

This is great, cant wait to try it out.

1kumiko · 10-29-2012, 01:18 AM

Good tips, but an "enough" won't stop my reactive dog from barking to something very arousing like a stranger/dog coming into my property :/ I don't even think water works on my dog

mirrie · 12-13-2012, 08:37 AM

Thanks for the advice Mrs Ford,but how do we stop our rusty from barking when we are about to leave the building and he remains behind?
By the way we are in the UK.

avemike · 02-11-2013, 08:01 PM

Thank you for your wonderful advice. I need to be doing this training with Hollee. She is turning into a yapper! And will race outside at the sound of a dog barking. I have been trying to stop her, but not working..she has often already sprung up and out before I can say much!
If I tell her off about something I say No! And the word for whatever it is she was doing.. And make a cross over with my hands over her. This is working to a certain extent. She no longer begs for food when we are eating. She curls up on the carpet sleeping until we are finished. But if I tell her off she barks at me..so I say No Barking and cross over my hands and she gives it straight back 😒..its like she is cheeking me? Any suggestion on this one? Tks Ave x

I finally started to tell her no and would not play if she tried barking at me to get her way. She has a tendency to be a bit bossy so I have to be careful not to let her trick me in to things. She now knows that barking is a no and does not produce the response she would like.

I can relate to Gracie's way of getting your attention. Hollee does the same. She is normally trying to tell me something..but if I put my finger up and say.. No Barking..she barks even more at me as though she is shouting or cheeking me? She also can be a little bossy..but at 6mths needs training. We have now joined puppy classes for general obedience . Ave x 😁

My husband and I work from 10 pm- 7 am and Titus always cries/howls/whines in his crate when we leave for work. Our condo is attached to our neighbors on both sides and they can hear Titus. During the day when I'm home, I play with him and have him cuddle with me. I also have his ex-pen (its octagon shaped) open so he can go in and play with his toys, if I close it he will bark. He is not yet potty-trained so I have to watch him like a hawk. If I leave the room for even a second he starts crying too. I'm not sure what to do when I leave for work...its not like I can tell him to stop barking when I'm not there to tell him so..

* Also I took the advice to ignore him when he is barking and only go to him when he is quiet.

this is awesome .... where's the "Like" buttons lol

Mia is three and she gets so excited when it is time to eat that she starts barking until I feed her. Loud exciting barks. Drive me insane. I have tried water bottle and now when she barks I feed my pug and then don't feed her until she stops and sits. In will try this method. Wish me luck

crosley · 09-09-2013, 06:09 PM

Hi, We have a 12 week old who hasn't figured out the barking thing but she is a terrible mama's girl and when she can be touching me she whines. I never pick her up or give her attention until she is quiet but would you deal with the whining the same as the barking? I loved the bark help-seems like a great way to start. Jan
