Best Answer

Dogs that bark at big animals are probably scared of them so training it out of them is all about building their confidence. Positive reinforcement is probably the best course of action. For this a clicker and treats or a toy are needed depending on what the dog prefers.

To set the dog for success make it easy for them at first. Keep the horse at a distance so the dog doesn't feel the need to react and defend itself. Praise and reward them (by using the clicker and giving them a treat or playing with the toy) if they stay calm and focus on you rather than the horse. As the dog gains confidence you can move gradually closer. If you move too fast and the dog reacts go back to training further from the horse.

It may take a lot of patience but eventually the dog will see horses as no big deal and won't react by barking anymore.

None. Train your dog using commands, time and patience. These collars emit a noise that startles the animal. When a dog barks, they are immediately emitted. The theory is that the dog will learn soon the barking is bad, but most of the time, a dog will not make this connection between barking and the noise.
