During the obedience training we took our last dog to (a Rotweiller) the instructor taught us that we should have at the ready a lime juice bottle (plastic)and when our dog barked when it should not, we should then firmly say "Duke, no bark! then at the same time we should give him a quick squirt of the lime juice aimed at his mouth. The lime juice won't hurt him and he really did not like it so after a few squirts and the command no bark he did not do it any more. Now our little Lexi learned without the juice, she stops at the command.
