(24,228 posts)put about ten or so pennies in an empty soda can. Just pick it up and shake it. They find the noise startling and unpleasant and my dogs stop barking immediately. With bigger dogs, toss the can to near where they are standing. Usually now all I have to do is pick the can up and they stop. I have two small dogs and it works on both of them very well.

I know nothing about babies so this was a real eye-opener.
