She won't stop barking and I need HELP!!!! My 1 year old Yorkie, Princess Leaha, is barking so much (worse in the last few months) at everything that we might have to find her a new home :( Not that we're jerks that "don't like a barking dog". But, My husband has a home office where he has conference calls alot. He is on calls with VIPS and our Princess Leaha is Barking her head off in the background. He can't have that. I need HELP! Do bark collars work? Spraying water doesnt work as I would have to follow her around a 3 story house all day to do that. I have tried crating her when he is on calls and she barks even LOUDER because the crate makes her anxious! I need a QUICK FIX FAST! PLEASE! Help!:aimeeyork |
Just wanted to say hello and welcome to YT! |
Oops, read your thread again... I do ask that you don't use a bark collar on a yorkie...and since spray bottles don't work...I don't know. Hopefully someone here will have great advice. |

But if there is a repairman, etc., and we don't want him in the way, we cover the crate (like a birdcage) and he immediately quiets down and lays calmly and quietly. Might be worth a try too. Good Luck.... |
my Remy was an insane barker at the age of 9 weeks ! Yikes... my neighbour filed a complaint against me with the city bylaw office 2 weeks after I brought Remy home . So I reluctantly got a citronella collar and put it on her. It sends an odorless spray up in front of her face when she barks and this startles her and she stops barking . It has worked wonders , now she barks only if there is a reason and then only if she is'nt wearing the collar. Please understand this is NOT shock collar there is no pain , the spray makes a hissing noise when it shoots up infront of her face. Remy is now almost a year old and seldom has to wear the collar .:thumbup: Eileen |

If you get one of those collars, try using water in it. Please do not use vinegar. It could get in her eyes and sting, or she could gasp and breathe it into her lungs. I wouldn't even use the citronella. The shock of the water spraying her should be enough to make her stop barking. I would hate to have to use one of those collars, but I would if was either that or rehoming the dog. |
sometimes they bark if they are hungary or have to poop or tinkle. My GiGi used to bark when she was around 1yr old cause she needed me to hold her for a while......it works wonders. They sometimes need more attention then other times or stages in their life. Hope I helped. Tina |
The mist The mist is so fine that it wouldn't hurt them... even if they inhale it... my dad however tried these w/ his dogs and they didn't work. So it will be up to the personality of the dog. Try it... what do you have to lose...nothing but a few dollars... but everything if you don't. Also... ALWAYS cover the cage... they feel more like they are in a den... it makes them happier and in my experience they calm right down. At night I can always tell if I forgot to cover or if one of the kids uncovered them... they bark... and they never do if they are covered! |
haha just send her to my house. my yogi will straigten her out real quick. he used bark and id just scare the crap out of him by using a really low voice at high volumes saying NOOOO. it was like the thunderous voice of God was beating down on his soul. he would stop instantly and cower until i gave him and treat and said good boy, then he was all fun and games after that. yorkies are all different, that worked for my boy, maybe you can get your husband to help you out. btw my wife trys this and it doesnt work for anything he does so id give it a try. |

Good luck, it's hard to have to rehome them for something like that, but, I've been in your shoes on that one |
I've never used the citronella collar, but think it may be an option for you at this point. Maybe this way you won't have to rehome. |

we have a shock collar for our 65 pound labrador. I wouldn't dare use one on Bella. I've heard that telling them 'no bark' while they're barking doesn't teach them not to bark. Instead try praising them while they're quiet, telling them 'good quiet' and rewarding them with treats. You could try clicker training too, google it. |
The citronella collar is fine you dont want to use a shock collar on a yorkie |
I was just thinking..My Mom had problems with her morkie barking, so she bought a bark collar that was for dogs 5 pounds and up( I haven't been able to find one for that weight size), but, my son put the collar on the dog, when he barked(it was always excessive barking), it knocked it one time in the air..it really did help..You don't leave them on for very long at a time..now, when he barks, she shows him the collar, and he stops.. |

Well she got the bark collar from www.drsfostersmith.com but, now I haven't seen them in there for 5 lbs. But, if you go to that website, there is live help right there, and you can talk to them online and ask them what they recommend |
Well - my little girl doesn't bark much, but when she does - spraying her didn't work. So I read somewhere (on here I'm sure) that you fill a can with rocks and shake it. They HATE that noise, and I have to say it does work with her EVERYTIME All I did was empty out a soup can, fill it up with those fancy rocks you buy at dollar stores (any rocks will do) and then put tinfoil over top. Voila - I shake it when she is barking, and she looks at me and is quiet. It works like a charm. Good luck!! :) |

Remy was 3 lb. when she started to wear the collar ( she is 4 1/2 lb. now ) , yes it was large on her so I only put it on her for the shortest time neccessary when she was outside going potty . My neighbour is such a bitch ! she has filed complaints against all the people around her that have dogs and a few that don't ! The fines for noise are high , debarking or rehoming Remy are NOT an option for me.Just remember the spray does'nt hit the dog in the face, it goes up in front of their face and its a very fine mist. The collar can only be filled with the canister designed for the collar so water or whatever else can't be put in it. There are two styles of the anti-bark collar that I bought ,one has a remote that you use to trigger the spray so you can choose when to correct your dog ( this is the one I have) the other is just triggered by the sound of the dogs bark. While I didn't like the idea of useing this on Remy It was neccessary and has worked very well ,she seldom has to wear it now :thumbup: Eileen |
I bought an electronic gizmo called the Bark Solver and put it in the front hallway where Bailey always runs to and barks. I bought it at Pet Edge for around $30.00. You can set the frequncey to to high (dog only) pitch or to audible. She does not like it at all and will stop in mid bark. At night (when she doesn't sleep with our daughter) and it is pine cone falling season :) She can superman fly off the bed to run to the door to protect us. All night long...sighhhh.. the bark solver and a toy squirt gun worked wonders. I have one that barks and one that doesn't. Have you tried dog training classes? Worked well for my friends Boxer who would bark at every little noise. Good Luck |
Have you tried a Citronella Bark Collar. I don't agree with using shock collars on these wee babies, but I use the Citronella Collar on Lilli at work when she gets overly demanding at me when we get ready to go to lunch and I'm not "attending" to her quickly enough to suit her. haha They are harmless and man oh man do they work! |
Barking is not the problem, it is a symptom of your problem. Your problem is that the dog does not know who is in charge, so she has taken over the job. Have you tried just keeping her near you and correcting her when she barks? You need to use a little "Dog Whispererf" on her and let her know that you are the boss. A dog in a pack would never be allowed to bark like that. You need to become the pack leader and take back your house. |
Buddy barks when I am on the phone and it is so annoying to me and whoever I am speaking to. We have a screened in porch and I have to always put Buddy on the porch until I finish my phone call. |
The Dog whisperer(Ceaser) has a lot of good ideas on National Geographic, you can assess the videos from his show on the national geographic website. I have learned a lot from just watching him. Carole |
