It Works !!!!!
 

TJ (8 months old) is one of those wonderful little Yorkies that like to run and jump up on the couch.. so he can bark at anything that passes the window. He is a very determined little guy. We aren't talking a little barking.. we are talking a 5 minute chorus at the top of his lungs. Nothing has worked. I watch The Dog Whisperer and I have tried his suggestions. But by the time I can get up and get to him.. he is on a roll. My husband works nights and sleeps during the day. I have resorted to leaving the blinds closed so he won't bark.. but I like to be able to see outside.
I read about using a water bottle and spraying them when they bark like that. I got one from the store this morning... covered the couch with a thick blanket and set on the other couch.

A little earlier, some one walked by and he ran to the window and barked. I tried squirting him with water and telling him.. "No Bark". He looked like I had taken away his last toy... but he quit barking and got down. A few minutes ago he jumped up and started barking again. I picked up the bottle, and he quit barking and got down. He came over to me and gave me a doggie kiss and layed down beside me. I couldn't believe it! I didn't even spray him, I just picked it up and It worked!!!!

I don't remember where I read this.. but it was just a couple of days ago.. So I want to say Thank you.. for the peace and quiet. It is wonderful.

yes, mine dont have to actually get sprayed either. I just show them the bottle. It is a miracle! You would think that thing is full of battery acid the way they act!

Glad it works for you it did for me also. Now all I have to do is say no barking

My grandma does that with her cat and it works like a dream. I had totally forgotten about that, now reading your post has inspired me to give it a try Thanks! :)

I was kinda skeptical about it working to start. TJ loves water.. he runs through the sprinkler when I am watering the yard.. so I did not think it would work well.. but it does.

I even used the can with the coins.. that worked for TJ but it scared poor little Dexter so bad.. he would go and hide in the bedroom. And I couldn't have that. If you even pick up the can.. Dexter heads to the bedroom. So I am so thankful for the water bottle. Yea!

So you mean to tell me that your grandma's cat stop barking once they showed him the bottle???LOL ..I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist...
I've heard someone using an empty bottle of water with little rocks inside, I thought about doing it, but all I want is for Max not to make noise, if I use the bottle with rocks, it will defeat the purpose.
The spray water sounds much better option, I'll sure use it.

LOLOL!!!
:D

I am so happy for you that the spray bottle worked.
It didn't work for me. I spayed Buddy until he was dripping and he
was still barking!
Coin's in a can is my miracle to silence;)

YAY! TJ :good job::number1ri Now keep up the good work for Mommy!;)

I hope you mean, spRayed. :p:p:p:p

I love this idea!

I tried that with Pixie didn't work, tried coins in a jar didn't work. She is really getting bad I don't know what to try next.

I have a friend who has cocker spaniels, she uses a spray bottle with a little vinegar in it.

:lol tearsSo much for MULTI-TASKING

Some people use water guns.:D

I also know that some people did not have good results. It depends on the yorkie. Some are stronger spirited than others and it will stop them from barking without breaking their spirits. The yorkies with a more submissive personality are the one's you have to be careful not to break their spirit using these things.
