10 Tips on Barking Control.

If your dog barks incessantly then you really need help.

You will need to take action and show your dog who is boss.

Here are 10 tips on Barking Control.

 1* Dogs communicate by Barking. Does your dog need a toilet walk ?

 2* Is the Barking just to greet you ? If your pet jumps up at you all the time then cross your arms and turn sideways so that you are not facing him or her.This will puzzle him or her at first but it will stop jumping and barking at you.

 3* Is there a danger that your dog has sensed (dogs often feel danger before we do).

 4* Does your dog suffer from boredom – make time every day for fun and games.

5* Are there any strangers around – dogs can be very protective of strangers.Postmen are alwaays considered as strangers !

 6*  Does your dog continue to bark after you have told him/her to stop ?      If so just gently clasp your hands around his or her muzzle and say QUIET

 7*  To stop a dog continuously barking grab its collar and repeat your stop word.      It is important to always use the same stop word.

 8* When you have a new visitor allow the dog to bark once or twice and then use   your stop word or phrase.. then distract your pet with their favourite treat (mine love dried tripe !)  Then give your pet a cuddle and lots of praise.

 9* Some dogs bark when left alone. Always tell your poet you will be back soon – dogs really can tell the time so try to be back when you say you will return.

 10* When you leave the house make quite sure that they have eaten any treat you have given them – sometimes dogs get treats stuck in their throats and that would be tragic.
