Need help with barking

[JEANETTE LAMM]

Any training to help with barking? For instance, my dog barks at people walking on the street from either in the house or when outside in fenced yard.

 

thanks!

Hi Jeannette,

Welcome to the forums!

I am currently traveling (at the airport) so will reply briefly with some links that tackle barking at people walking on the street, but if you have any questions, we can go more on depth on this on the 14th. 

You can start by training the smacking sound:

then use that for Look at That Exercises:

the goal is to elicit a positive conditioned emotional response:

When you can't use training, you should manage the situation by blocking access to windows/not allowing dog in the yard alone
