method 2 number 3

Be firm and clear with the command.Consistency and practice are key to getting this command to stick. If you want to test his response during a walk, stop walking him and look him directly in the eye. Then, say an enthusiastic “bark” command. If he looks confused or hesitates at your command, hold out the treat and repeat the command.^[24]

• Ideally, your dog should bark only once when you give him the command.^[25]However, your dog may want to continue to barking once you’ve gotten him started. Do not reward him if he barks continuously. Wait for him to quiet down before giving him the command again
