A dog owner writes to ask how to get her dog to listen to her around her other dog and ironically sends in a video where the dogs show her how it's done.

What Are The Different (and best) Puppy and Dog Training Methods (ebook) - John Wade

This isn’t about how to train a dog. It’s about the various pseudo-science methods companion dog owners almost always encounter, what to avoid (and why), and what to look for instead that will more likely lead to a dog with actual life skills instead of a dog addicted to treats or fearful of might is right.

Excessive barking is not an uncommon problem. I thought this case was interesting because I think the problem is more due to ideology in the way we are told to train and live with dogs, and an example of how it impacts the lifestyle of companion dogs.

Imagine walking along with your dog some dark night, and someone approaches suspiciously making you a little nervous. You give a silent hand signal, and, or say, "Warn Him!, and your dog erupts into a cacophony of barking?

In this episode a puppy that is currently starting to nuisance bark is taught instead - to bark only on command - and the command is - "Warn Him". Just a trick, so we're not taking on the risk and associated liability of actually encouraging aggression, but in these uncertain times, perhaps a handy trick, in these uncertain times, a handy one.

This fear/anxiety issue is more common than you might think and usually entirely avoidable. Often people think it's due to the dog being abused by what it fears, but the truth is the problem is almost always due to a breeder's neglect to provide appropriate exposure at the correct age, and then failing to inform the new owners of the limited window to complete proper imprinting.

These are the resources mentioned in this episode:
