Stopping barking/yapping

[paddy.t 5]

Evening...

 

In the past week my 14 month old terrier has decided to start yapping and barking all of the time ie when we are sat watching t.v or whatever.

Im in need of some advice on how to stop him barking all the time...?

 

Also any tips on his recall would be good, at the minute he is very good alone on walks but if he see's another dog he will run over to it totaly ignoreing me and play with it when i try to get him back he just runs around in circles. Again something i would like some advice on.

 

 

Many thanks.

Paddy, find a small tin (like a tea caddy) and put a handful of largish gravel in. When ever the dog barks or squinnies, give the tin a short sharp shake. ....I only need to show my dog the tin now......

You can use a big sweet tin - it's just a bit unwieldy.

 

On recall, repetition is the key - 'whistle, treat', whistle, treat' - and as already posted, if they're hungry, they're more inclined to listen. They weren't called Pavlov's dogs for nothing...!!

Terriers are noisey any way, but if you don't it to give it a crack. All this tin shaking and treats is a load off bollocks, also it most probably wants to go out and do some thing not just sit in the house.
