I like that technique

I don't like this one so much:

No need to explain, I probably should have used a smilie but was in a hurry and no I'm not bovvered .
My way involves no raised voices and works very well for multiple dogs, having had builders/developers next door for over a year now it's also had plenty of practice.

If she barks, take her inside. Wait a few mins then let her out, if she barks take her in again. Boring and repetitive but she'll soon get the message that barking = no garden!

Last year Millie had it for the green house flooring kept trying to tear it up along with any pots she could her teeth into so I got a squirty spray bottle and at the moment she was having a diva I gave a spray on the bottom and she ran out she now know what OUT means ^_^

She still goes in the green house now and but doesn't behave like a diva in there.
