99% of we use the touch method w/ ssshh or hush. If he gets aggressive, we get on his level and put him in the submissive position. This has worked the two times we've needed to do it, and he hasn't had the barking problem as much.

I've never heard of the w/ssshh method, would you explain it to me please? And the "submissive position"?
I found with Montrose that my telling her to be quiet did not seem to work. But, when I told her "Good Job", she stopped. I was letting her know that I understood that she was warning me of danger, such a robin landing on her lawn.
I did this at first when I knew she was giving me warning barks, & then said it every time I wanted her to stop barking. It doesn't work everytime, but it does for the most part.
When Dylan was a pup I taught him to bark on command. And then to stop on command. This has worked the best for us, and I would use this method again.
