Barking Outside
Hi!
My corgi, Stella is one year old. She has been a great first dog for us. We had some trouble with her barking in the house before. We trained her to stop using the command "No Bark," and that has been pretty succesful.
Now, though, she has started barking when we let her outside, a lot. I have read some training methods for eliminating barking, but they require an immediate response, and when we try it goes like this: we hear her bark, we go outside, we try to get close so we can say no bark, but she just runs away thinking we are playing. I feel like we are reinforcing her barking...any ideas??
She barks the WHOLE time and it is not at the door to get back in. She barks in the middle of the yard at anything and everything and nothing.
Thanks for any help?

Now that would get aggravating. First...I don't care if she runs from you or not..you get her or make her come and until she does you don't give up. If you just walk back inside she has won and will continue this behavior. Start w/just getting her to come to you...don't punish or scold when she does but praise her. The most important command is for them to come and when they do nothing else matters but praise. Maybe start tieing her so you can control the behavior. They do have the citronella spray collars that might get her to stop. She sounds bored. Are there toys for her to play with. Hang a ball from a tree that she can bounce up at and pull. Tie stuff from the fence or trunks of trees so she can yank and pull at it. Have sticks laying out there so she can toss them and run w/them. Toys that make noise back if she bites down on them the right way.
