Barking is like whining to a dog, a natural part of their make up. But if you can read your dogs barks, you can eliminate unnecessary barking that could be causing you or your neighbors to lose sleep, or worse – a visit from the police for your dog breaking an excessive barking ordinance.
Dogs will bark for various reasons. The dog may bark because of something in the environment provoking the bark such as another animal. He/she may bark as an alarm to warn you of danger. Or your dog may be excessively barking due to nothing more than a bad habit needing correction.
You never want to silence your dog completely. A dogs barking is its way of communicating. However, at the same time it is important to teach them to stop when told. Some negative excessive barking is merely due to boredom, much like whining and chewing. It they are left to their own accord, they have to find ways to entertain themselves. Your dog may only need more one on one time with you to give him/her the outlet it needs to replace the need for barking. Make sure you are talking your dog on regular daily walks, exercising and play time with you. If that does not stop the barking, there are training tools on the market that can help train your dog when it is appropriate to bark, and how to stop when commanded to do so. Regardless of which product you use, make sure when your dog responds appropriately you reward tem accordingly.
