Excessive Barking
Barking is an instinctive behaviour for dogs. It is impossible to keep your
dog from barking entirely, but you can teach him to be quiet when you
give him a command.
Note: This will only be effective when you are at home with your dog.
1. Choose your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. Put your dog in a situation that will tempt him to bark.
3. When your dog begins to bark, press the Lower Button (Spray
Correction) and give him the command “Quiet.”
4. Immediately release the button once your dog stops barking and
praise him.
5. If your dog ignores the Spray Correction and continues to bark,
increase the Spray Level by 1 and repeat the process.
6. Practice this exercise in different areas using different situations that
would cause your dog to bark.
