I have been working with my dogs, a reactive whippet x cattle dog and a senior beagle, to not bark as much and as long. Basically I have been taught to click in the quiet spaces, and treat. I am trying to get more consistent as the summer comes in.

Several things have happened:

1. Sometimes the click goes unnoticed, or is not acted on by the reactive dog.

2. The beagle wants his share of the treats and will bay to get them, inciting the reactive dog.

3. Occasionally the reactive dog will go back to barking with only a short pause.

What can I do to get order with this?

Thank you very much for your response, I will try all of the comments as this barking is getting out of hand.

My concern is splitting them up. It seems that might be a problem as the beagle is going to live in the crate as the barking is occasional, but quite vocal and extended from the Whippet X. At this time I just sit with them and try to read a book, but the beagle wants to get a treat and starts barking and baying. Maybe I could fill and freeze a Kong to satiate him in the crate.
