07 Settling the Springer

How do you get an 8 month old Springer to settle down when the family IS around the house?  The Dunbars address one of the biggest problems in the doggy world: out of control barking.  The solution may seem counter-intuitive, but the most effective way to get barking under control is to train your dog to bark on cue.  And of course, a stuffed chewtoy in her crate will give her something to keep her quietly occupied.
