I had the same problem with our now 8 yr old and again with our puppy siblings. We have pretty much nipped the puppy barking in the bud. Whenever one of the puppies started barking at anything, we let them bark about 4 times and then squirt water at them and say sternly "enough"! The water startles them and they look at me and stop barking. I praise and praise them and happily say "thank you", "good quiet". It didn't take but a few times squirting them for them to "get it". I read this tip some where, most likely here on YT. In the past, we had Old English Sheepdogs and learned this method in obedience class, as well. Some dogs don't react to water, but do to lemon juice. Yorkies just have to alert us to every sound or sight! It's their terrier nature. I want our 3 Yorkies to sound their alarm, but NOT the continuous barking, barking, barking! Now we let them alert us with the few barks and say, "enough", they stop barking and we praise big time, thanking them for peace and quiet! Keep in mind this is 3 Yorkies telling us to pay attention (loudly) and then being quiet. Maybe this works because they have done their job in alerting their Alpha! Best of luck! Our Yorkie kids are priceless! Janice and John and Ginger, Anise and Basil |

MaxDog, you are right...lemon juice in the eyes would be irritating, for sure. I should have been more specific, you squirt the water or the lemon juice at your dog's body, never at their face or eyes! Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't even think of anyone getting lemon juice or water in their pet's eyes. |
Put a dozen pennies in an empty soup can, then shake it when they are barking, then say "Enough now". The water, NO lemon, works well also. |
You might want to teach the "leave it" command. |
The little air can works wonderful for the barking, I got mine from Petco. |
