    At the moment I’m saying quiet which works really well when he’s on the lead he has already nearly stopped barking at people, other dogs etc while out on his walks but in the house I’m really struggling. I can look at it a bit differently now, he is very over protective of me so of course he will alert me to everything…doh! Will try the bark on cue with him and see how we get on.

    You are all so helpful on Tuesday I felt way out of my depth but starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel now…thanks!

    He doesn’t care about his toys or treats when he’s barking so its very difficult to get his attention.

    I’ve only had him for a couple of weeks so its really early days he’s also had to get used to my cat teasing him which hasn’t helped with the barking.

    Is there something I can use other than my voice when trying to get his attention during a barking spell if I can distract it he now understands quiet but getting his attention is difficult!

    Thanks for your help…its much appreciated he is a great dog very intelligent, just a shame he’s had such a poor start.

    After reading some of the posts in this thread it has given me some hope! I have just got an 8 month old Cockapoo who was left home alone for about 10 hours a day by his previous owners naturally this means he has some issues his previous owners told me he liked to be around people a slight understatement… If I leave him he barks for the whole time whether it is two minutes or 3 hours, my neighbours have already complained and I don’t know how best to deal with it??!

    I’ve tried kongs and bones to distract him but he wont touch them until I get back, he wont leave my side when I’m in the house even when he eats he has one mouthful then has to check I’m still there before having another. I will start the leave for 2 mins then build upto 15mins trick but does anyone have any other tips to help?
