How to stop a yapper Yapping - Page 2

#11 (**permalink**) 15-02-2008, 09:11 PM

My sister had a barker, She did it for nothing in the day at silly noises, She also barked in the night aswell..Every time she barked she got a pint of water and threw it in her face and said simply *QUIET* then she walked away.
She did this everytime her dog barked and she stopped it, It was brilliant

.

Yet pebbles in a bottle worked on my bull terrier who used to bark her face of when i opened the door to let her out last thing at night to do her buisness, that stopped her doing that

btw if you are going to try the water tactic then the water amount depends on the size of your dog, my sisters was a bull terrier so a pint was enough for her, No doubt if u have a smaller dog then a smaller amount of water is needed

.

good luck

I tryed that, It had no effect on my sisters dogs at all.
But what don't work for some may work for others.
Ignoring the situation gets you nowhere..

What sort of dog is it, some dogs just bark because they can and they get into a habit, other dogs do have a reason, sometimes they are just bored. The water pistol may work as a startle effect, but you will have to ensure you do it every time, otherwise the behaviour may become stronger.

The moment my sisters dog started was when she thro the water in her face, There was no gaps, I said on the forum be4 about it, I told everyone she got up god knows how many times in the night to do this and she persivered even if she got up 20 times a night.
when advised to do something we do something properly...not by halfs.

it took my sister a few nights to stop her dog barking using the pint in the face thats all..we was suprised how fast it worked on my sis dog because she is a right strong will stubborn cow, But this worked wonders.
