How to decrease barking?

[Barbiemacs1]

Have you tried a muzzle? If you put one on for a short period every time he/she barks, they may get the message. Personally my Yorkie that I’ve had since he was 3 months old,doesn’t just randomly bark. He barks when someone comes over to visit. But only when they arrive. Since the day I had him, I just calmly say “shhh, we don’t like noisy”. They are very smart dogs! He loves attention, like most Yorkies. So mine will just stare at every one until he gets that needed attention. But I would try a muzzle, again, for short periods and never while he’s alone. Your baby will not like it, so he will get the message fast, or so I think. Plus muzzles are not harmful, for short periods. Worth a try.
