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.

Bark,Bark,Yap ..
Very few things are as annoying as a dog that barks continually.
That cute little bundle of fluff you fell in love with can quickly turn into a nightmare.
There are a number  of reasons why dogs bark.
Dogs use barking as a method of communication.

Spaniel

In the early morning almost all dogs bark out a short message.
This is a dual purpose message  - it reinforces their territory and warns other dogs off.

Getting a Dog to stop Barking
Other messages are for excitement over food or going for a walk.
They usually bark because they feel neglected or because other dogs nearby are barking.
The main problem is that a barking dog is an annoyance both to  you and your neighbours

One noisy dog in the vicinity usually sets off all other dogs within earshot.

How to Stop Dog Barking
If you dog howls when you are not near then you may have an insecure dog.

Dogs like this are often left outdoors on their own with little contact with you or with other dogs.
If your Dog is howling or barking when ignored, then separation anxiety is probably the culprit.
Separation anxiety usually starts with insecurities and fear.
Your neighbour may not even know their dog is behaving like this.
The best way to deal with the problem then is to talk to your neighbour about it.
For a few days keep a log of exact times when the neighbour dog starts and ends barking
Show this to your neighbour and they will probably agree that something needs to be done about the proble..
If the problem is with your neighbours dog and they refuse to do anything about the noise then speak to your local dog warden.
You have a Legal right in most countries to peace and quiet and the dog warden has surprisingly stong powers.
This is compounded when the owner has several dogs and they all start to howl

First you must realise that all dogs are pack animals and that you are leader of the pack. If you are absent
 then they feel leaderless. Dogs LIKE being told what to do.

There is not much you can do with a dog that sits and howls at other dogs or your neighbours except to fit an anti-barking device.
(Or keep the dog indoor and fit double glazing !).
A dog like this is just being over-protective of his or her property and the best way to deal with it is to introduce your neighbour as
a FRIEND and ask him or her to come round several times to play with your dog.

Small Dogs can be particularly annoying since they have a tendency to Yap. That is particularly annoying.

Stop Small Dog Barking
That usually has the desired result. This does not work with cats though so I do not recommend it as your dog will end up badly scratched.

a Good alternative is a sound activated collar that either gives the dog a tiny electric shock but in my view  a kinder alternative is
 to give your dog a collar that work similarly but it emits a puff of Citronella which Dogs hate when the dog barks!
You can also
Teach your dog a simple command (Like QUIET while at the same time covering its muzzle with both hands.)
This very simple system usually works within a couple of days of patient tuition..
ONLY use this method with Your Own Dog !

Every dog barks, that is how they communicate a message. They bark for various reasons: to greet, to alert, to friends,out of boredom, to attract attention or when they are excited.

Although some barking from is acceptable, too much barking is certainly not acceptable, especially for your neighbours and excessive barking will eventually leading to complaints

This is the Number One Problem that most dog owners meet.
Most dogs bark excessively while their owner goes out.
In fact the owner may not realise the extent of the problem and they may even have the idea that their dog does not bark at all.
Why not cut off problems at the pass (as they used to say in cowboy movies) by asking your neighbour if your dog is being a problem by barking.
It is better to find out now than by having an irate neighbour screaming at your door when you come home late in the evening.
At least you can start to do something about it.

Dogs usually bark because they are lonely or bored (how would you feel for instance if you were cooped up in a chicken-wire cage for several hours with nothing to do and no-one to talk to ?).

Your dog is also basically a pack animal – and you are the pack leader.
When you go away you are leaving him/them leaderless and they will try to talk to other dogs to reinforce their own security.

Other reasons for barking are :
Intruders(what it seems to the dog) these can include passing dogs, dogs nearby barking, big birds or visitors.
Scary objects that suddenly appear (like the leather handbag my wife recently bought !) can also trigger off a barking episode.

Dog get bored easily and need to be played with regularly – and when you do have to go out always leave them with safe toys to play with.This will cut down the boredom factor.
Do not give them too large a treat when you go out - a friend of mine did this and returned to find out that his lovely labrador had choked on the treat.

So how do I stop my dog barking ?. The easiest way to stop a dog barking is to control his barking while you are still at home.
Lets face it – you are not going to be able to stop a barking dog while you are out of your house.

Here are some suggestions on how to stop a dog barking.

1. Put your dog indoors and then try to set up a reason for your dog to start barking. Get a friend or neighbour to ring your doorbell or knock on your door.

2. Your dog will rush to the front door and start to bark loudly.
Now approach your dog, grab his/her collar and give the command QUIET – no shouting please, it does not help – your dog just thinks you are joining in the noise.

3. If he/she stops barking, then Immediately praise and give him/her a reward. You have a very smart dog there so cherish and cuddle him/her.

4. Usually however, the dog does not stop barking so it is time to show the dog what you mean .
As he/she continues barking, using both hands close his/her mouth and wrap your fingers around his muzzle – use both hands makes it easier, and give the command for him to keep QUIET. (do not shout at the dog)
Give lots of praise and a treat if he/she stops.

Most dogs are able to learn the QUIET command with repeated training like this.
You may have to set up several situations to enforce this training.
Just set up similar situations to get your dog to bark and repeat training whenever possible.

Still Barking after a lot of QUIET training sessions ?:

If the problem still persists then your dog might still be barking noisily and upsetting your neighbourhood when you are not at home. Then you will need to get a piece of training equipment known as a bark collar (or an anti-bark collar) to help train him/her.

There are several types of bark collars on the market. Some of these collars send an electric shock to your dog when he barks.
I have to say that I do not approve of these or any device that may cause harm to your dog.
They are certainly effective but there is a safe alternative which makes a high pitch sound or emits a squirt of citronella which is annoying but safe for your dog. (Dogs hate citronella)
These Collars will usually solve a problematic barker without harm to your pet.

I personally recommend the high pitch sound or citronella collars. They are very effective and more humane dog training tools.
