We used to take Morgan to dog training, and I asked the trainer how to stop a dog barking. She said there is absolutely nothing you can do. If you shout at them they think you are joining in! I have yet to train any dog to stop barking, when the post comes here it is mayhem. You can stop them for a short period, but it soon starts again. All you can do is hope they don't hang around for too long chatting - with the winter approaching, it should be less of a problem!

I would have a word with the trainer and poliety ask her to mention it, I cant stand constant barking drives me up a gum tree and I cant understand how any one can tolerate it! lol

God yes! my short-term memory is atrocious. I use quotes so people know what I´m answering to and similarly I like it when people use them so I know what they´re answering to (specifically) as I tend to ask lots of questions and struggle to remember what they were!!
As i said; SHOCKING short-term memory!!

I know how you feel Weezy. We have agility across the road from us twice a week and flyball too. Not only do the dogs bark continuously at the agility but at the flyball the women shout and scream too. This is in a new build arena so it echoes all around and goes on all year. They didn't do this when we moved in and just seem to get away with it. I'd complain but until I get my arena need to use their's.

It's hard - I guess if people are attending dog training classes, it is because their dogs are not impeccably behaved, or teh owners do not know how to control them - as sooty said, a lot of people shout at the dog, but then they think you are joining in. My dog used to bark to other dogs, both 'get away from my owner' and 'hey how are you' type of barks. We worked with him to make him realize no matter how exciting that dalmation may be, it is me on the end of this lead that says if it ok or not - however, it took months for that to be fully effective. Most dogs rarely see other dogs en masse, so they are going to get over excited - it only takes one to set them all off and that one could be at their very first training class, so it is hard. Perhaps a large glass of wine and eastenders at full volume??? Sorry, not a lot more I can suggest

I'm with you on this one!! Whoever is running this class should make it clear that hanging around outside the hall yakking and letting your dogs bark is unacceptable in the evenings. If it were during the day maybe but not in the evening in a residential area. It just manners! I'd definitely have a polite word with whoever runs it.

I trained my dog not to bark at noises outside the front door, the least wee thing would set her off, and it was very stressing for her.... she doesn't do it now, but still barks in other circumstances, which is only natural.
