I have a pup I really like but he barks in the kennel.I have another pup off a diffenet litter and he doesn't bark at all.What can I do to break him?Thanks!!

Electronic stimulation. i use a collar on them for a while to tone break them, then hang the collar up on the kennel and leave it on and tone with out the collar on them. takes consistancy and time, but has worked for me. good luck!

i never liked to use a bark collar because i have seen some dogs that get really tight on track,some people may not like herein it but i hollar one time after that i throw on a pair of boots and go out there and whip them nomatter what time of day or night it is it may take a week but if they got any brains they figure it out pretty quick,u may have to watch how u do this on a sqittish dog.i wake up easy so i will not tolarate a dog that barks just to bark,i understand if a deer or cat or something is in the yard and then after u break them of it all u have to do is hollar one time and they will quit,there may be other ways but this has worked the best for me,and my dog's are not sqittish or scared,

Throw a had full of sand in his mouth. it won't hurt him and he won't keep barking. It worked for me at a field trial. hack, hack!!!!!!

about an 8 oz glass of water in his face while telling him quiet , ussually only takes a couple of times , havent had to do it to mine in over a year but if im in the yard with a cup in my hand my dogs are in their boxes

I shock my barkers about 3 nights they get the point never had it to keep them from barking on a rabbit I holler at them 1st then the next time the tri-tronics does the hollering

Depending on age a wire coat hanger has worked well for years.You bark=You get valuble lesson on hanger ethics.I hate a Barker.

I shine a BRIGHT light at them (coon light in the eyes) and holler shut it, 1 week of this and they were good to go

Shock em and shock em hard, it takes fewer treatments. I'll even set them up by carrying the transmitter in the truck so I can shock when I pull in if needed. I think bark collars aren't aggressive enough and they tolerate it

Tri-Tronics Shock Collar. Most figure it out quickly, if they are not smart enough to figure it out then they are not smart enough to live with me any longer.

water hose!!

I have a 3 foot long piece of 1-1/2 black plastic pipe. Instead of beating on the hound, I slap it against something that will make a loud drumming sound and holler at the same time. Before doing that I turn on the floodlights. After a couple of times, the floods will shut them up. And no, it doesn't make them gunshy.

i got one female that wont shut up at feed time its like she is looking right at a rabbits tail when she is running man i cant stand that i mean its every breath like she is starved to death i know she isnt gets fed everyday a full cup n halfas soon as i open her door she shuts up n after that you never know she is on the place

Water hose for me. Going to bed cold and wet seems to get their attention.
