- 1). Choose a command word, such as "stop" or "enough." Speak the command in a firm voice when your black lab puppy is barking.
- 2). Reward your puppy with praise and a treat, so she begins to associate the reward with good behavior.
- 3). Provide your puppy with stimulating toys and activities. Keeping your black lab puppy busy may cut down on unnecessary barking.
- 4). Take your puppy for regular walks. Making sure your black lab puppy gets plenty of exercise will cut down on excessive barking.
- 5). Ignore the barking. If you are jumping up to give your puppy attention every time she barks, she will recognize this as a way to get your attention.
- 6). Share your training methods with guests and visitors before they enter your home, so you can maintain consistency.
