Training & BehaviorHow can I stop my dog from barking at new people visiting our house?
I’ve had good success using a sonic egg. It’s a portable bark deterrent. You could use it only when needed. I would also give her a no bark command to reinforce what you want. You can also teach her to go to her place. A bed, cushion or spot on the couch. Give a treat when she’s relaxed and quiet in addition to praise. Training takes consistency, time and patience. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Pumpkin.
