Little Barks-A-Lot - stop the insanity

Barbara shared:

Hello,
Just want to share some good news about barkers.
When I took Jo-e to training classes there was a dog there named Ursula and when the trainer took one of the dogs in the middle of the ring to work with her Ursula would go crazy barking.

The trainer stopped went to his building and came right back walked over to Ursula and squeezed a big shot of lemon juice right in her mouth. I have never seen her act that way again.

Now he told us that is used for obsessive barking and not for a dog that barks at a new person they see or something they hear outside. When you squeeze the lemon juice don't let them see the little lemon shaped container in your hand and also give a good squirt..
