How To Help Your Dog Stop Barking

How To Help Your Dog Stop Barking

by Ted Johnson

Are you bothered by your dog's constant barking? Learning to control your dog's barking is challenging, regardless of the breed you own. Different breeds have different reasons for starting to fuss. If you can determine the reason your dog's barking is out of control it will help you teach your dog to control the barking and to bark when necessary, not at every little thing they see or hear.

Some dog are just barkers. It may seem like they live to bark. Some people don't mind a lot of dog barking, but it is annoying to many other people. Try to remember that when dogs bark they are using vocal cues and signals to try to communicate with humans or other dogs. Don't try to stop your dog from barking completely, just try to narrow the barking down to when it is essential for their communication.

First, research the type of dog you want before you get a dog. Knowing the purpose of a dog breed will give you a lot of information about how much the dog may bark. Don't choose a dog bred for hunting or for stopping intruders.

Once you get a dog, don't let it teach you to respond to incessant barking. If you get up and do what your dog wants just because it doesn't stop barking, you are only rewarding the problem. Respond to your dog once she quiets down. This will train your dog to understand which behaviors will get her rewarded.

If your dog starts to bark, don't do anything immediately. Remember, dogs are going to bark at times. If the barking continues you need to take action. Grasp her muzzle and close it with your hand gently, but firmly. If she tries to free herself from your hold, do not hurt her, but use your other hand to hold her collar.

Hopefully, you can figure out why your dog barks non-stop. Sometimes, it is too difficult to figure out and you may need some outside help to stop annoying barking behavior. A barking problem can be helped, with assistance I was able to stop my two dogs from barking at every little noise or movement. - 20511
