Prevent Your Dog from Barking





Does your dog bark too much for your liking? Are your neighbors complaining about your dog? Do you have a new puppy that likes to bark at the slightest noise or movement? There are ways to prevent your dog from barking.

Your dog needs socialization. Your dog will get used to other human beings, other dogs, cats and animals and the many noises there are in the world. If you and your puppy/dog are alone and you keep your puppy or dog in a quiet apartment or house, it will only bark more.

You can take a training class with your puppy or dog, too. You will learn how to prevent barking and so much more. Your dog likes to learn commands and actually thrives on them.

If your dog already barks a lot you can correct this. First you have to note the things that cause your dog to bark. Once you know you can begin training your dog. You must control and show that you are ahead of your dog in the pack for the training to be successful. You will be amazed that you will be able to control your dog’s barking once he starts with certain training methods such as submissive techniques, on command, using treats and/or leash correction.

If your dog barks when someone knocks on the front door as most dogs do to let you know someone is here, but you do not want your dog to bark, you can train him. Have a family member knock on the front door. When your dog starts barking command him to stop. When he stops award him with a treat or by saying “good boy”. Only reward your dog when he follows your command. Once your dog has this down you can move onto more difficult barking situations.
