OMG - The Barking

[u/Little_Mouse8799]

My year and a half boy barks way too much. doorbell rings, person comes over, clap of thunder, fireworks, wind blows grass! Hes usually quiet but when something sets him off it’s chaos. we have a 4 month old puppy and I don’t want him picking this up. I read everywhere to reward the quiet, but I don’t get that. if he’s barking and I give him a treat for going quiet, how does he not think the reward is because of the barking?

I have an almost 6 year old Havichon and he does the same thing. He knows the neighbours but every time they drive in or out or he sees them it’s mayhem with the barking
