the barking won't stop! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi all,

this is a plea for my sanity!! haha .. jk jk .. well half jokingly. My parents have a yorkie named baloo, and he keeps barking THROUGH the night. No matter what we do, take him out to go potty/ignore the barking/tell him no/give him food or water b/c maybe he's hungry/wait until he's quiet for more than five minutes then give praise. .... he just keeps barking, please HELP!!

You didn't say how old the dog is, or if your crating it. I know Venus quit that at night, once I let her sleep with me, lol.

I know when I crated Venus, I had to tell her many times when we'd go to bed "goodnight" and keep ignoring her. If she'd whine again, I'd say "goodnight again. I kept doing that till she'd go to sleep.

Many times, a good chew toy would be great in a crate at night, shut them up fast.

Someone else here taught me to tap lightly on her crate at night, and calmly say "goodnight" or "no".

Millie was just the opposite. She would bark in the night, if she was loose in the house. Once I started crating her at night, she stopped completely. We put a blanket over her crate to keep her cocooned and she does fine.

Hope barks, ALOT, at EVERYTHING, at night. I think she thinks she is protecting me. I find that if I leave a radio on very low it is a steady noise and she doesnt ear every little sound. everyone has a different little secret and this seems to work well for us...

baloo is a little over 1 yr old, he had his birthday in November, and my mom crates him. the toy and putting a blanket over the crate idea is definitely something I am going to suggest to my mom.

He absolutely loves my mom and I think he just wants to be with her and that's why he barks so much. He follows her everywhere and is always watching her. I wasn't around when they trained him. He's still not potty trained and that's why he doesn't sleep with my parents at night. And they travel a lot so training is inconsistent and often has to start over from the beginning everytime they leave. I have tried to take over the training but he doesn't listen to me, he's such a mamma's boy. hahaha. I'll be getting my own pup on friday, hopefully he'll be MY mamma's boy.

thanks everyone for your suggestions! i love yt and will be introducing my puppy soon!
