If eats it too quick you need to keep it in a closed fist so he can smell, and lick, but not have it till completely stops barking - combine with command ...no bark...Pavlov theory then... he barks, distraction, (better than barking) 'no bark' (command with the 'resource' - this is ) the cube of hard baked liver (resource can be anything)...gradually you don't need the cube., just the command Positive reinforcement.... ! takes a few times..look forward to seeing him on Britains got Talent ! ...or Crufts even !

Thanks! When he gets going we are struggling to distract him with treats, still to find one that work, planning on trying chicken (still unsure exactly if he does have a food allergy and if so to what so introducing new food slowly...) this is a method we were planning to implement, love the command you suggest, and think I will try the liver too!
