Sure! Here are three different ways you can train your dog to stop barking excessively:

**Positive Reinforcement:** Whenever your dog stops barking on command, reward them with treats or praise. You can say "quiet" and when they listen, give them a treat. Consistency is key, so make sure to do this every time they bark unnecessarily.

**Redirect Their Attention:** If your dog starts barking, try to distract them with a toy or a game. Engaging them in play can shift their focus away from whatever is making them bark. Over time, they’ll learn that barking isn’t the way to get attention.
