Random Barking - How to Stop It?!

[Foxy Roxy]

Okay, so all my dogs are very vocal (can't think where they get that from :045:). But, generally they only bark to alert to something. Mika can't seem to distinguish between something that needs alerting to (someone at the front door for example) and something that doesn't (a creak in the building, a car driving past etc). Its quite a piercing yap. I wouldn't mind if she alerted to it, but when I told her to stop alerting to stop, but she doesn't! She continues her yap yap yap!! Its not a huge problem, but if I could quieten her down a little my ear drums would be thankful! te he

When you figure it out then let me know. My two bark if a worm farts :063: Lyla may quieten down with the quiet command but when Kali (who does her own sweet thing regardless of what I say) keeps on barking then so does Lyla. I am sooooooo thankful that I will not have close neighbours soon!

Yip and let me know as well :052: Ive done everything to Daisy to try and stop her as she is "NUROTIC" Ive even dunked her in a water barrell :076: She is however getting better the quieter im getting here with less dogs and me being less stressed :075:

I try and ignore it, but it's really hard! :035:

[MightyMouth]

It is, especially when they follow you from room to room doing it :063:

I have finally reached the end of my tether - Robbie was not a yapper - till Madam Floozy came along.
I used a water spray on them a couple of times last week with a stern "No"!! Now i just show them the water spray and they stop!!! Result!!

Marty does the same, in fact he just barks if he ever sees a bird, hears a noise outside inside doesnt make much difference!

Maybe we should just see it as expressing themselves! :076::053:

Ok I am lucky Fern doesn't yap unless she has seen a bird out the window

Marty is mainly just birds but it can be all sorts of things to set him off sometimes.
Strangely enough its when he's quiet i wonder what hes up to!
