I'm glad I'm not the only one having problems with my little guy! Rocky likes to bark A LOT when I put him in his little fenced area so I can get things done around the house without tripping over him but then he barks like mad! Does anyone have any other ideas? I've tried both the spray bottle and the coins in a can but I swear he actually enjoys both things

for that situation u need to ignore him entirely. even a glance is rewarding. wait until he stops barking then tell him good boy and give him attention

you can also add citrus to the spray bottle (i.e. some lime or lemon juice). Dogs HATE citrus and it won't do any harm to him. Give him ONE verbal command (no barking, quiet, whatever you want) then follow with a squirt with citrus water.
