"Our trainer uses this super annoying "Aannnn" sound, lol. Think of the word "ant" w/ out the T. It sounds sort of like a buzzer. We say it firmly - sometimes w/ some "anger" if it's a safety issue…"
"Thanks for the info! Riley barks in both those situations so good to have some insight from a trainer.
What verbal correction do you do, just a firm "no barking"?"
"Thanks for all the replies everyone. A lot of what was said was confirmed by the trainer. She said that Maya is "resource guarding" where my wife and I are the resource. She broke it down in two ways:

"I'm going to try this, thanks! Riley is quite barky even when it's not really warranted (like a shadow passes across the front door...barks 5 minutes). The vet had told us originally to just ignore it but that clearly doesn't…"
"I agree with Jane. My dogs bark to let me know what is going on. After one or two, I say "Enough" with the down hand motion. This take awhile to teach. Reward the down/ quiet and not the turn to look at…"

Why is my dog growling/barking all the sudden?
Maya turned 2 years in March. Last summer, she was cool as a cucumber when we all sat on the porch. All of the sudden this summer, she’s occasionally growling at passersby, cars pulling in/out of driveways, and people down the street walking AWAY from her. Yesterday I had in in the backyard and she started barking (I honestly thought it was another dog) and she ran towards the front because the mail lady was there. She knows her so when she got to her she immediately sat and waited for…See More
Training - Experiences, Challenges, and Mindsets

"I don't mind if Riley alert barks, what I don't like is when someone approaches to pet her when we are right there with her and she barks in their face and backs away. That is fear behavior and it can escalate so it's not…"
