Dog training and teaching the command “Quiet”

When your dog is barking, growl a stern and guttural “Bah!”*
Then, the instant he/she IS quiet, say quiet and praise. You could also reward with something high value such as a liver treat or cheese, both are stronger smelling so more attractive.
*Or shake a plastic bottle with pebbles in it if this proves ineffective or if your dog just zones out and the barking is very intense, shake a tin (for example a Milo one) with coins in it, by your side.
The idea is to find a way to get your dogs attention.
