 So by you going over and saying, no, no, no, bad dog, fooey, what did you do? Wait till daddy comes home. What you're doing is going against everything instinctively that the dog has. However, I do understand that excessive barking can make anyone go absolutely crazy. But the way to resolve excessive barking is not by no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's by letting the dog know that it's okay to bark.
