Thread: Can I teach my huntaway x beardie to be quiet

I've got this huntaway x beardie pup. I'd like to take him hunting but he barks like its going out of fashion.

I know they aren't exactly hunting dogs and I really only want him for the company. He is around 5 months now and coming along well with heel training. He can sit and come by hand signal too. He doesn't bark at birds or cats or anything when he is out. But at home he will bark at a cat that comes in the yard, he will bark at my other dog when they play, and he will bark whenever he wants anything (food, water, attention etc).

I can't really be certain if he will bark at a deer. He barks at dogs if he's on the lead and I wont let him over to them, but not if he's off it.

Anyone had experience taking a beardie or huntaway hunting?
