How did you train your barking dog?

I might get a puppy this week if we find one and i would like to know how you trained your barking dog if you have one. How do you train your dog at home not classes. what did you do.

thank you

For house training, use a cage, which is a little like the "den" the mother dog would use. Put it in a busy area of the house, and NOT in the basement, garage or other place away from your family. Get a good book about cage-training. Cage-training is good for: house training, quiet times, confinement when you are out of the house. Cage-trained dogs are usually easier to train, in general, but training takes commitment, either way.

Use praise for everything, with training a dog. Dogs live by praise.

Get the puppy used to a collar, then a leash. They often aren’t used to these things and it takes time. Then, little walks. Then, work on the sit command. Try making the puppy sit, before it gets its food, sit for other things. Get a book about training. Heel, sit, stay.

Always use praise. Scolding usually confuses a dog.

Get a couple books that talk about training without being harsh.
