Has your dog’s barking ever had you consider using an anti-bark collar? I did in the Nineties with my dog, Buzz, and I'm letting you know the results right up front. Lessons were learned and I developed an action plan to stop annoying barking that’s proven to work, so I’m sharing what to do step-by-step. Plus, if you want your dog to settle down when greeting houseguests, don’t miss the protocol for using a remote feeder to create calm at home.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• My experience using a spray bark collar in the 90’s. • Steps to replace a barking habit. • Why a few 90 second training “quickies” are more powerful than one weekly long session. • It helps to be predictably unpredictable with your dog’s schedule. • Great, easy ideas for dog enrichment. • The importance of noting your dog’s barking triggers and reinforcements. • To temporarily alter the environment where your dog barks most. • The six games to play during “Daily Quickie” training. • How to counter condition barking triggers. • How to decrease reactivity to doorbells and door knocks. • How to use a remote feeder to reinforce Hot Zone for polite door greetings. • Why to train this with one dog at a time. • How to fade the remote feeder.
