I have usually seen it done with clicker training. You wait for them to bark about 3 times, click, and say speak as they get their treat. Eventually it connects that when you say speak, they should bark. To train them not to bark, you let them bark for a little bit and when they stop, click and say a word. Some usually pick the word quiet as their word. When you say quiet give the treat. Do that for a few times and they will pick up that quiet means don't bark. Make sure to say it and not to…

The trick I've always been told is to teach them to bark on command. Once they learn that trick, they can usually be taught not to bark on command. If he barks while you're away, frozen treats in a kong while you're away usually works well, otherwise they now sell mind stimulating toys with treats inside that could keep him occupied.

Thanks everyone! If anyone has any suggestions for barking, let me know! (I think it's more when he's really bored), but I walk him a lot and let him play w/ other dogs for around 2 hrs usually and he will still come back and bark at me...and bark BACK at me, just sometimes!<br />

It does get a little frustrating

SOunds just about perfect. Yeah I hope he adapts well. He doesn't bark really when left alone, but he sure likes to protect the screen door like a little watchdog whenever there's a little noise.....so now there's going to be noises everywhere! hopefully it won't be an issue. Good luck to you as well

Thanks, I hope he doesn't look 25 lbs! He's just always been big boned even as a puppy even though he's in great shape. 23 lbs is little!!! Must be nice =)

I don't think you should fret over the weight thing. My corgi is about 26 lbs and the vet actually said she might need to lose about two pounds or so. I would think that would be close enough.<br />
I would like to be able to move into an apartment at some point, but I think Perky would bark too much while I'm gone. She always barks when she's left alone. =(

Corgis never look as heavy as they are! Ella doesn't look any different now at 23lbs (age 2), then she did at 17lbs(9months) *not sure where she hides it. I doubt they will put a cute little corgi on a scale.<br />
We moved from an apt. to a house, and Ella transitioned just fine. As long as you try to keep daily stuff like walks and food time similar to what he is used to, he should be just fine.

Thanks a bunch everyone, yeah.. good thing he isn't full grown moving into the apartment! I hope he adjusts well, I'll still drive him to his favorite park every other day or so.

We have the same weight limit here, and no one has ever asked to weigh the kids ;) I wouldn't worry - I think like some of the other posters said, it's more to keep the bigger breeds out.
