Gary does this too and it really ticks me off. If he barks at something and I tell him quiet, he will somewhat listen in the aspect that he will make his barks to follow very quiet. Little grunt barks under his breath that you could only hear if you were pretty close to him. AAH!
He is great for everything else except for this one problem. He just seems to be so thick headed and stubborn. I feel your pain!
I know there is huge controversy about using squirt bottles, but in all honesty that is what I have been doing and it seems pretty effective at least for indoors. I will say quiet. If any barks follow after my warning, a squirt is sure to come, even if he just grunts. I chose this method because with Gary redirection, tell him leave it, making him go to bed or move, didn't work as well as I would have liked them to.
