Coin's in a can is my miracle to silence

This is what happened to me too. Then he just ran when I got the sprayer, but it didn't stop the barking.

Try the coins if the sprayer doesn't work.

When we first had aggression problems with Pebbles the dog trainer suggested the vinegar and water in a bottle. She was so bad with the aggressive barking that we called her Devil Dog. The first time she was sprayed it was like an exorcism. After that first time all we needed to do was show the bottle and she would immediately stop. We don't even have to use it any longer.

So glad that it works for others as well!

The water bottle or cans work for most dogs. I have two it didn't work for, first Teddy and them Chelsey. Neither one of then care if I spray them forever or shake a can forever. I tried the AirDuster from a distance and it worked! They hate the spirts of air! I just pick up the can now.

Some times you need to be creative!

Scooter did the same. He wasn't about to let a little water stop him from barking.

I emptied an old spray bottle, filled it with water, painted it pretty and wrote "NO NO Spray" on it.

I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet today, unusual as it is, but I will let everyone know if it works!

mymackensie · 08-01-2008, 02:03 PM

What is an AirBuster? Also, how much vinegar do you put in a bottle of water? I wouldn't want to burn her eyes. I was told to put vinegar in a spray bottle & use it where a dog is chewing instead of Bitter Apple. A spray bottle or the can with coins do not mean anything for MacKensie! She puts her head up to get sprayed even more and the coin can means nothing.

Joey is so good at looking at me, with those eyes, as if to say "why the heck did you do that?" He can make me never repeat an action by that look, if I could just do the same thing.

I totally hear ya! Tucker thought both of those tricks were just games and so using either the spray bottle or the coins would egg him on to bark MORE! I even resorted to using the citronella spray collar...nothing!

The spray bottle has really worked for us here.

That is how we taught Piccolo, when she was a puppy, to leave things alone on the coffee table, especially food. Now she totally ignores anything on that table. Sometimes I use it outside, if she is barking at the neighbor's dog. If she sees it, she stops.

Lady of Yorkies · 08-01-2008, 03:13 PM

The spray didn't work, the spray with vinegar didn't work, the can with coins didn't work, the clicker didn't work. Yelling sure doesn't work! LOL Mostly they bark at my adult sons who taught them to bark in the first place. Yeah, little bitty Yorkies barking is cute. Only thing is, my sons didn't think about how it would be when the dogs grew up or maybe they thot they would be moved out by this time. Yeah, wellllllll. They come home don't they?

I have tried the cans again recently but it scares half of them to death. Maybe I will try putting some spray bottles outside the door so when whoever comes in they are already armed and I don't have to run around trying to catch the barkers. Only thing I can do is try, right? Sylvia

Do you leave the bottle of water sit out where they can see it and behave, or do you hide it and bring it out on each occasion so that they don't become "immune" to it, for lack of a better term?

I hide mine. I don't want the little jokers to get used to it where they know what I am doing when I go after it. Sylvia
