Dog Barking: Simple Methods To Stop Them

If your dog barks excessively, you are probably at your wits end.


To get your dog to stop barking, you must understand why dogs bark.There are many reasons for dog barking. Your dog may bark as a warning that your home has been broken into by a burglar or to let you know of the approach of a stranger.Dog barking is also used to get attention or to intimidate the dog owner or others.
In discussing ways to stop dog barking, there are several factors that will guide your choice of training methods and tools. It is important to understand the breed of dog, to establish why a dog is barking, and then to decide the best way to handle the problem.


Simple Methods And Tools To Stop Dog Barking

TRAINING Your Dog when it is appropriate for him to bark is the probably the best way to stop unwanted barking. Although there are a number of options, the best way is the reward/reprimand method. This is an effective and humane method.


 LET Him Bark for a while and if he can't calm down, you can reach out and clasp his muzzle firmly but gently. If he tries to back away, place your other hand on his collar for maximum control. Then, hold onto the muzzle until he ceases his excitement and stops barking. Once he stops, this proves that he accepts your authority as the leader of the pack.

EXERCISE: You will need to give your best friend all the exercise it needs, as well as quality time with you, before you can label barking as a problem. If a dog that should be working is bored, it is not the dog's fault. If the pet needs two miles of running or walking twice a day, think of all the good it is doing your waistline and thighs. If you cannot run, you and your dog both need to learn to play catch.

BARKING COLLAR: Another way to stop dog barking is by using a barking collar. This will work for some dogs but not all. If you want to try this option, choose the appropriate size for your dog. Some collars work with electric shocks and some use a citronella spray, triggered by the barking action. The idea is that a dog will learn that barking causes a reaction it wants to avoid. Most dogs will still bark aggressively if they sense danger.

SURGERY: Surgery is sometimes used to stop dog barking. This is the most barbaric and drastic option. The dog is prevented from barking by having a piece of tissue removed from the larynx. There have been cases where the dog's ability to bark has returned, voiding the goal of the surgery. Thankfully, most vets are opposed to surgery to stop dog barking.


Remember dogs bark for different reasons and it is up to you to figure out why he is barking and try to alleviate the problem.
