How to train a dog to be quiet? Prepare a closeable dog basket or dog box for the dog and put an old blanket inside. After the owner plays with it for a while, he gives the "rest" command. If the dog doesn't listen, he takes it in and closes the door. After a while, he lets the dog come out to play. With such training, the rest time is gradually extended until the dog can obey the owner's command and enter the dog basket quietly.

First of all, owners should prepare a closeable dog basket or dog box for the dog with an old blanket inside. The owner first plays with it, and after it gets tired, the owner gives the "rest" command and asks it to enter the dog basket to rest.

If the dog does not enter, you can hold it in and close the door, giving the "rest" command. If the dog barks, the owner should stop it. After a while, the owner will let the dog out to play. Even if the dog resists the owner's actions, the dog has actually rested in the basket for a while. With such training, the rest time is gradually extended until the dog can obey the owner's command and quietly enter the dog basket to rest.

If you place a small alarm clock or small radio (the volume should be very low) under the blanket in the dog basket, the effect will be better.

When the owner gives the "rest" command to let the dog enter the dog basket to rest, the ticking sound of the small alarm clock or the sound of the small radio will prevent the dog from feeling lonely and avoid running around and barking.

After several times of training, the dog will form a conditioned reflex to rest quietly. At this point, even if the small alarm clock or radio is removed, the dog can get used to staying in the dog basket and resting quietly.
