Dogs, when excited, forget all about discipline and dog training. The dog can bark non-stop until he or she eventually tires out. If you can't afford to wait for the dog to calm down, might as well give it a dose of its own medicine. Grab a used can of soda and insert several coins. Shake the can to check its noise level. When the dog begins a lengthy barking episode, throw the can with force. The clanking noise will shock your dog, in effect, silencing the poor critter. Give the mutt a good meal after, so he or she won't feel bad.
