How do i stop my dog barking?

Does it make you feel good when you cuss? It shouldn't. Makes you look like an idiot. Proper training keeps the dog from barking. I suggest you go to your local library and pick up a few books on dog training. I've got both of my labs trained not to bark unless they hear something outside and I want that. I want to know if I've got a stranger in my yard so I can get my pistol and be prepared to shoot to kill. Training. Repeat with me: Training!
