Tips
- How to stop a barking dog: if your dog is barking because someone is at the door, show the dog a treat. Make sure the dog sees the treat. It will stop barking, and when it does, say "Quiet" in a firm tone of voice and then give the treat to the dog. This might take several tries to make the dog realize what the word "Quiet" means.
