How to Stop Your Dog's Excessive Barking
Summary:
Barking is natural for dogs, but it's not always appropriate. Thankfully, you can humanely curb excessive barking with a few hours of simple training.Article Body:
Barking is an instinctive way for dogs to alert you to potential threats. It's important not to discourage all barking, but once your dog has notified you, they should learn to quiet down. Use a word of praise or a command like "Quiet" and give a pat to signal it's time to relax.For cases like barking during a thunderstorm, reassurance and distraction may help. If necessary, consult your vet about tranquilizers. If your dog barks at unfamiliar objects, showing there's nothing to fear can quickly calm them.
Boredom or seeking attention can also lead to barking. Ensure your dog gets enough exercise and attention, and you can expect them to be quieter otherwise. Obedience training offers valuable benefits, promoting self-discipline and offering both mental and physical activity.
If your dog whines, barks, or howls when left alone, address it promptly. This behavior is easier to prevent in puppies but can be corrected in adult dogs too. With patience and a bit of acting, you can resolve this issue in an afternoon or evening.
Here's how: Pretend to leave, telling your dog to "Guard the house." If barking begins, re-enter with a firm "No!" This often demonstrates your displeasure effectively. Once your dog understands, forgive them and try leaving again. If there's no barking after 5 to 10 minutes, they're learning. Repeat this process if necessary.
Later, leave for a short time. If there's no barking, reward your dog with praise and a treat or walk. The following day, test your dog by leaving them alone briefly. With consistent exercise, a chance to relieve themselves, and distractions like toys or bones, your dog is less likely to bark without reason.
Finally, if your dog barks with excitement when you return home late, offer them a toy or bone. They can't bark with something in their mouth. They might make happy noises, but these won't disturb the neighbors.
