When Maui was first learning to be quiet, he would do the same thing as
Lexi (bark lots then stop and wait for a treat). What I ended up finally
doing was keeping a spray bottle near me and whenever he barked, he got
one quick spray to the face (avoiding the eyes). I know some people
probably really

I tried that already (hey, it worked for the cat!), but he looked
just a little surprised, and then thought it was a game.

Oh, that's a shame, it worked wonders. I started out with room temp water
and he didn't seem to mind it so much so I switched to ice cold water with
the spray setting not the mist setting like someone suggested to me and he
hated it. Not sure if this would matter to Lexi or not though especially
since it is summer now and he probably would like the cold blast (unlike
when I trained Maui in the winter).
