LOL thats a good one:D

Emma doesnt bark, but once moco starts barking there is noooo stopping him:D

I say "Un huhn, and then what happened?"

Lolly gets excited and happy when she barks. Since she doesn't do it really often, I always let her bark for a few minutes then say "that's enough" and she'll come get a treat for being quiet.

Reece only barks when Lolly does, and most of the time has no clue what he's barking at :rolleyes: :D

If they are barking because someone is at the door, or in the driveway, I let them bark for a little. Just to let that person know not to do anything stupid!!:D

But if they are barking just to make noise, or something, I tell them to "Settle down" Or I say "Ah Ah"

They know when I say that I mean business!!!
:D

I usually pretend like Samantha and I are having a conversation. She'll bark and I'll say, "No! Are you serious?" and she'll bark again and I'll say, "I can't believe it either!" and she'll bark and I'll say, "I agree, that bitch down the street is a total skank." and so on and so on. My husband thinks it's hilarious.

I say "Quiet".

My Giant isn't much of a barker. She barks when someones comes to the door or in the yard.

I start with shh, then settle, then shut the h*ll up! :eek: Mandy's bark is like a 'woof' and not too bad but Lacey could break your eardrums! If they have a reason to bark fine but I try to teach them to quiet after I check it out. :)

Tawny really only barks when she wants something and she can be demanding. It usually starts with Stop that, then STOPPPPP, then I get up and get her what she wants. Not tooo spoiled, heh! I did teach her about 2 years ago to say please, which is a small woof, but it always starts with her bossy bark. If she barks in the rec room, she shakes her head because it echos back at her. We all get a laugh out of that.

My dogs bark for basically two reasons....either someone is at the door or there is a critter in the woods behind our house. The barking at the door doesn't last very long so I usually don't even bother to tell them to stop. The barking at the critters is another thing, especially if it is late at night or early in the morning (neighbors, you know :o ). I shout "No Bark!" Sometimes it works with Bella but it never works with Ripley. :rolleyes:

Face doesnt bark unless there is good reason & then i will just let him to scare off people approaching the house or whatever, and Rita barks at EVERYTHING, I usually say "Easy Girl" and she'll start wagging her tail and look up at me and she stops.

It's *No Bark* in this house, and those words just rang out a few minutes ago. Sometimes I do say...*That's enough*. These phrases are usually accompanied by a very loud HANNAH

That is so funny! If I know it's alright, I say Duke. Then, he usually doesn't stop so I end up yelling "Duke, that's enough!" He doesn't back down easily.

LOL i do this aswell, when it is OK to bark that is. :D

At times when it is not fine to bark, say 2am i say "Quiet" if that does not work i then bring out the "Bah" and then if that one does not work they get a "SHUT UP" ;). "Bah" usualy works though.
