Allow me to translate: “Well, there are several ways. The first and most effective is with food. We dogs love chowing down on almost anything and it is nearly impossible to bark with a mouthful of food. On a similar trend, chew toys are also highly effective. Examples include: tennis balls, rubber bones, and stuffed animals. Try to keep the neighborhood cat away, as cats are a huge trigger for us dogs. There are many other solutions…”

Dang it, Jim! The letter said for no barking! You could have let Odie constantly go “arf arf” instead.

Don’t engage with the dog. Leave the area quickly.

Well I guess Odie’s bark is worse than his bite.

I notice that the big dog on a chain can articulate verbal thoughts, but Odie can’t.
