![]() ![]() Practise this every day, and soon you will be able to tell your dog to “woof” and, most of all, to “shush” on command without knocking on the door. In other words, you have now moved away from the exercise, and you are taking his attention elsewhere. Spring back to life and tell him good boy or girl and give him affection and a cuddle and then move straight off on to something else and encourage him to come with you. Hopefully you are communicating this body language to your dog, and he is remaining silent and listening along with you.Īfter a few moments of this, and when he looks like he has finished attempting to bark, and is now remaining silent with you, you can call a stop to the exercise. If he starts to bark, or even growls, again give the “shush” command, even quieter now, maybe another little tug on the side of his collar, while you freeze and act like you’re listening out for something, keeping very still. Your body language at this point should be still, as if someone has said “freeze – don’t move!” as though you’re holding your breath waiting for something. This will draw his attention to you, and help break his barking cycle. Say it in the way that you would when someones talking but you suddenly hear an important news announcement coming through on the TV or the radio, and you don’t want to miss a word.Īs you say the “shush” command to your dog, you can also give a quick little sideways pull on your dogs collar. No – simply say “shush” but in much quieter way than the “woof” command. A dog that is guarding and aroused isn’t likely to be interested in a bit of cheese or a biscuit at this point. Some experts tell you to have a treat ready to give him to distract him when you give the shush command. Now, after a good few barks it is time to teach him to “shush” on command. That means no touching, no talking, no eye contact! Conversely, withhold your praise and affection when your dog is displaying the wrong behaviour. Remember, always praise your dog when he is doing what you want him to do. You can even join him if you like and bark with him a few times (don’t worry about feeling silly, you are training your dog) At the same time praise him as he is barking, because he is doing what you have asked him to do, so you are rewarding him with praise and approval. He will most likely start barking even though he knows it’s you. Now, your dog will of course see that it’s you that’s knocking, but he is pre-programmed to respond to that ‘knock knock knock’ sound. Now say “woof” as a command, and then straight away you knock on the door – just like a visitor would. Take your dog to your front door or where he usually hears someone knocking on the door or ringing the bell.Īt this point he should not be expecting anything. To start this exercise your dog should be calm and relaxed. The player has disadvantage on all attack rolls against this specific enemy.You’re probably reading this article to find tips on how to stop dog barking, so it might sound odd when I say that first you should teach your dog to bark – on command that is. When all the runes are visible, the player is given a vision of a final battle, an enemy they are fated to fight. With each rune revealed, the DM may add a special property to the weapon, such as duplication of a class feature or bonus damage against a certain type of creature. A number of runes equal to that result plus one appear on the blade, revealing themselves on the blade as the player strikes down enemies designated by the DM as significant. But they are also destined for a tragic defeat.Ĭurse - When the player strikes down a specific enemy (at the DM’s discretion), the curse activates. Whoever bears this weapon will most certainly build for themselves a tremendous legacy of victory against incredible foes. Yet the weapon has a tremendous history behind it, tales of glory and ruin which seem to follow a pattern for all the variations attached to them.
