Barking Dogs
When your dog barks, use the
command "Bark" followed by praise. As soon as he understands this connection and barks on
command you can start using "No" to stop him. Get your Westie's attention by placing a few
dried peas in an empty tin, give the tin a good shaking when he starts to bark to distract
him.
If your dog runs along the
fence barking at people or other dogs, install a higher fence so he cannot see them
through it. Quit a few homes have televisions, radio, hi-fi playing, but turn them all off
when they leave the home, the silence to your Westie can be too much. Leave a radio
playing for your Westie...
Get your Westie to have a
good bark now and then, but stop him with the NO command after a few barks.
Take him away
from other people and let him run around barking to get it out of his system. |
