- Attach a leash to your
dog and put the leash around a secure post.
- Stand 1 meter away in
from of your dog and hold a toy - gently tease your dog with the toy.
- When your dog starts
to bark give him the toy and some praise.
- Give the 'Speak'
command every-time he barks and then give him the toy.
- Learn to anticipate
when your dog is about to 'speak' or bark as the timing is very
important.
Now
you have trained your dog to be bark you need to train him to be quite.
When your dog is barking - you should still be in front of him
and he should still be attached to the leash and post.
- Now ask your dog to be
quiet - time it right when he stops barking ask him to be quiet and
give him a treat and his toy.
- Practice this exercise
every-day until he barks and is quiet on command.
Congratulations, you have mastered some very useful techniques to make
your pooch bark and be quiet on your command.
