My New Boy Toby

by Stephanie

Toby

I got Toby when he was 13 weeks and he is now 5 months old. He is a really good dog and loves my other dog, Max. Toby is almost completely potty trained. I'm so fortunate that he doesn't pee or mark in the house. I didn't crate train him and he basically runs around the house with my other dog. The only issue I have with Toby is that he will bark at people and other dogs when we go for a walk. However, he doesn't bark when people come to our house. What is the best way to teach him not to bark?

Toby is so cute
by: Vicky from Az

He is still a baby. His barking is probably from the fear of big tall people passing by. Try getting him out to the dog park to meet people & dogs so he learns not to fear them.

Another trick for barking outside in ur yard thou is when he starts barking at neighborhood sounds go stand beside him with treats. Use a 3 sec rule that when the barking stops u say good boy & treat. U then can apply the verbal command quiet.

Be consistant & within 1 to 2 weeks when u look out ur door & say quiet he will listen.

Another command that works in diff. situations is a must the leave it. It can be applied to in home mischeif & while walking to avoid the chasing of cats, cars, skateboards & other dogs.

Good luck
