Barking Dogs

When mine barked, I quit letting them run loose and put them in their kennels for the night.
That helped alot.
Then they started barking in the kennel.
I had to get up a few times at 2 or 3 in the morning.
But I would just take my belt.
Grab them from the sruff of their neck and hit them a few times as hard as I could.
each time I would say "HUSH" in a deep calm voice, not angry.
After two or three times of that. They were trained.
At night I put them in their kennels and the last thing they hear before I leave is "hush"
The immediatly freeze, quit wagging their tails and just sit and stare while I walk away.
It has been months since my dogs last barked at night time.
What ever method you choose, it needs to be consistent.
You can hit them one time and scream to "shutup" then the next time do something completly different.
