How can you get your Yorkie to quit barking so much at the neighbors?

Answer 1

when ever they start to bark, hold their favorite treat in front of their nose until they stop, then don't give it to them, and when they stop barking, give it to them. or as soon as they start to bark, put a leash on them, when they bark, pul quickley to the side then put the leash back where it was, but be sure not to pull your dog. it should be in the same spot when you end the correction. it is also a good idea to put them in a sit or down and stay. this tecnique OS very usefull at meal time, t.v. time, or whenever guests arrive. you can also use it to stop your dog from jumping. don't yell at them if they get out of they're sit, down, or stay before you release them... just camly put them back in position and firmly but withought yelling or anger say stay again.

Answer 2

Well you could make your Yorkshire Terrier get used to your neighbour by inviting them around and letting your dog get used to them that way, it wont stop them from barking at them once they see them again but they shouldn't bark as much anyway.

Answer 3

I just got my first Yorkie. Neighbors have one that barks constantly! I wasn't going to have that so I got a water bottle. Crate training was the best time for the training. If I put her in the crate and she barked and cried excessively she got a squirt! Worked like a charm. Little hint...better to not let them see you and just just squirt them when they bark by putting a blanket over the crate and coming from behind and squirt in the cage. Then they dont associate you with the bottle. If you can mimick the squirt bottle sound..they stop barking at that too!! Nothing worse than a non-stop barking dog! My girl is 6 months and is wonderful! Good luck!
