Primedogs Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) just a little advice needed, our 11 soon to be 12 week old lab is barking in play, we would prefer it if he didn't bark but am not sure how to discorage it, tell him 'NO', remove the toy, remove him and put him in time out, or just ignore? or even if we should be discoraging it as he is just playing and not barking at us Edited July 2, 2009 by goblygouck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primedogs Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 it depends it will sometimes last around 5-10 mins and it occurs a few times a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmolo Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I wouldn't do anything about it if the pup is playing with his toys and barks at these times. If the pup starts to do it more frequently or inappropriately- you can start to teach a quiet command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Malt x Shihzu, Tiger is barking at passers by and pretty much at most things, but not all the time. Maybe 5-10 mins at a time. If you have taught yours the quite command can you please give me some pointers as i am at me wits end oh and i don't want the neighbours to hate her because of her barking.
