| ![]() Hi there...yep it sounds like you have a problem!!!!!!! Firstly tell us a bit more about your yorkie..i.e. age..how long you have had him..and if the barking started with any particular thing...e.g. thunder or anything like that and if chester barked from the beginning or when......Have you had him checked out by the vet.. to see if there is any underlying problem...(our yorkie only started consistent barking when he was older and that was due to health problems.)) Come back with some more info about chester and we'll go from there.

| ![]() Ygeorge ... have you tried the "tapping on the crate" method? We broke Toto of barking by using this in one afternoon! Just tap metal against metal and say "no"! If she ever barks at the improper time now, all we have to do is say no!! Worked for us! Good luck! ![]()

| ![]() Hi When we first got Chester he did not bark much, but we noticed andy time the door bell rang... especially with that pizza comercial for domino was on . And the door bell rang he would go crazy. We would say No! chester, No . After a month or two of that comercial . He finally figured it out. We don't mind if he barks for the door bell , as we are uaally down stairs in th finished bastment and can not hear when the door bell rings, only issue is when you say No or quiet.. He will not stop. We have to hold him and carry him to the door and he is still barking at the door... . But if he is in his creat it is even worse. he will keep barking even when you say quiet ! he will make a wining sound. So you know he understands and emidiatly start all over again until the person has left the front door. Once the person is in side the house he stops. I think this started the first time the door bell rang. Oh he also alerts us if he hairs any noice like a load bang next door.. He is like a little gard dog with a big bark. My mother in -law just loves it because she feels so protected when he is around. But again once he starts that it ... he will not stop. chester is now two years old 4- 5 pounds . Very high sprong and lots of energy we can go for two hour walks and he still full of engergy to play. He is extreamly stuborn. Right now i'm trying once again to see if we can get him potty trained to go on the pee pads. He never had and issue to go out side, but the winter here is so bad and he can get lots in the snow in the back yard. So I started that yesterday , this will tell you how stuborn he is. He has drank so much water and we always let him out twice for the night. So we did the same with the pee pad. Both times he would not go. He went all night with out messing his create. Wow what a shocker ![]() oh. p.s yes we tried the tapping on the create. evey thing works for ten min the first time and we keep doing it but he just won't stop once he gets used to the load sound , tapping , coins even the water bottel... if we reach for it .. he just runs quickly and starts again . We are lost. The thing is i'm worried about is we are bringing our new maltees home next week, I hope, and I don't want her getting this bad habbits. ![]() |

| ![]() Well after two long days and hours. We finally got chester to go on the pee pad. We also got the play pen . That really helped . He would not go on the pee pad.. He held it all night and until 3:00pm in the day. I could not belive it. So today we went out and got a play pen for when our new puppy comes they will have an area to play in. I put the pee pad down water and his favioret towel. He went right in and did his business... ![]() So we only have to fix our barking problem and we will be set. Thank you all for your help. Any suggestions are welcome . Please help us ![]() |

| ![]() As some people have discussed, try using some loud obnoxious sound (a small bell or paper towel roll) to use and scare your Chester. When he barks, use it to scare him. After a while, he'll understand it. ![]() |

| ![]() I bought a playpen for Tish before I even got her. I think that was the best thing I ever got for her and me. She only goes in there when I have to leave for work or step out for a while. I leave it open for her during the day when I am at home. She goes in there to do her busniess. I have a wee pad also but use newspaper in there instead. I leave a newspaper on the outside of the weepad also. She does not pee and poo in the same place. So she will do one on one and another on the other. She is such a good girl. She does go on the carpet sometimes when she is scared that I am going out again and she thinks I am going to lock her in ![]() As for the barking I thought her to bark now when I say bark. So now when she does bark when she is not suppose or to much I say NO BARK. She is catching onto what I want. She is a smart little cookie ![]() |

| ![]() How did you teach her how to bark on your command? I think that is really cute. I think if I could teach chester that then maybe, just maybe we would have control over his barking.. Chester really likes his paypen . |

| ![]() When she would bark I would keep saying bark to her this way she would relate the word to what she was doing (even if I did not want her to bark then ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() This is the thread I have been looking for. I am having the same problem...........My Mei Mei constantly barks. I love her, but it is really getting to me and my husband. Plus she now has my other two dogs, (Shih Tzu and Pomeranian) going now, which they were both good until we got her. She will even bark in the middle of the night 2-3 times. ![]() I tried the can with the pennies in it and I shake it at her, but sometimes it doesn't work. I am going to try the tapping on the ex pen and the squirt bottle.............wish me luck because I don't know if anything is going to work for this fiesty little girl!! ![]()
