Dogs that yap and bark can aggravate both you and your neighbors. Curing your dog of an established yapping problem does take time and patience, but it is possible. The most important part of curing the issue is consistency in how you deal with the yapping issue.Consider using a white noise machine or playing a radio softly. If your dog is barking in response to noises outside, encourage her to be quiet by drowning out some of the noise.
Teach your dog to be quiet on command. Keep some treats handy while doing this, as an immediate reward makes the process move quicker. When you catch your dog yapping, tell her "hush," "quiet" or any other command you choose, but use the same one each time. She will probably stop yakking when she hears your voice, praise him and toss her a treat. Continue the process, and she will soon learn to quiet on your command.
