You want to show your Scottie that when he barks, an unpleasant noise occurs. Don\u2019t let him see you making a noise. Drop a loud, unbreakable object such as marbles, pebbles or a metal chain on the floor near the dog.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"are-scottish-terriers-barkers\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Scottish_terriers_barkers\"><\/span>Are Scottish terriers barkers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Terriers tend to be barkers, and this is no different for the Scottish Terrier.
