Training your dog to bark or speak

Start by attaching a leash to your dog or puppy and tie one end around the post, see our guide to puppy leash training and dog leash training for more advice on this.

Your dog should be in the 'sit' position - start by standing 1 meter away from your dog and show him the toy.

Gently tease him your dog or puppy with the toy, and when your dog starts barking give him the toy.

Now put the toy out of site and when your dog starts to bark, give him some praise and a treat

Now still standing with the toy in one hand in front of your dog ask him to speak or bark and as soon as he starts to bark give him the toy.

Training your dog to be quiet

Keep your dog in the same position attached to the post by a leash (make sure that your dog is safe.)

You should be doing this part seconds after step 5 of training your dog to bark or speak.

As soon as your dog stops barking give him the toy and then a treat with lots of praise.

If your dog keeps barking say 'No' in a firm voice and put the toy out of sight.

Keep practicing every-day from the beginning through to the end so that your dog learns to bark on command and be quiet on command.

Congratulations you have now mastered dog barking control.
