rob284 1,682 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Learn it to do basic commands like sit and heel in the lead. And then the dog may see you as the "leader" dont hit it just correct it with a loud and clear no. And maybe a hand signal showin the back of your hand, dont do it after it barks or it will get confused, make sure you check it whilst its in the wrong. It will take time but it will get you. Also dont give too much love and attention because dogs dont see affection the same as humans, giving too much affection brings you down to their level, allowing them to think the have some control( barking). Hope this helps : ) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j1985 1,984 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Get your self a flirt pole and work him a one or two times a day for 10-15 mins at a time!! Should knacker him out a bit, also a great all body workout, you'll be surprised how quick you can wear out a dog with a flirt. Also I'd suggest getting him a bone so he's got something to do whilest your not about ? Just a suggestion..atb 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Westy76 546 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Just gotta tell everyone to ignore him while barking and praise/fuss when he's quiet. Anything attention you give him regardless wether good or bad while hes barking is attention,which is what he's looking for imo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
