Thanks Bill.......I will try that. She only barks when she goes outside or when someone comes to the door. I'll have to try that with her and Muffin (my Yorkie). I'll let you know how it works.

I would like to break Penny of barking, in fact I would like to break all 3 of my little ones from barking when they go outside. My husband Jim calls them "Yippy, Yappy and Yahooey" . We got Pete and Penny when they were 4 years old and they came from an abusive home. Penny already cowers when she thinks she has done something wrong ( very submissive ). We have had them for 2 1/2 years now and they have made great progress, but, I'm afraid of being harsh with her and ruining what progress we've made. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Squirt Water Bottle!
It normally only takes one squirt, and after that just pointing at the Chi Barker. With that, in your most authoritarian voice, repeat NO BARKING, once they stop praise the little guy for being so good and listening, oh they love to be praised...
