stop and manage your dog to stop barking permanently so we're talking about
excessive barking those kind of barking that you're saying it drives you crazy
and it's for no reason your dog just barks and doesn't listen to you there
are many reasons why dogs bark and also there are many situations which a dog
will bark but today we're focusing on the ones that is just drives you crazy
so here are my five tips to stop your dog from barking excessively which is
going to help you to stop your dogs barking permanently so tip number one
prevention is the key you know your dog better than anybody else you know that
your dog will bark for certain reason in certain situations in certain conditions
in certain locations you know that it's going to bark so you want to prevent
your dog from getting into that environment or situation that is going
to bark so don't put your dog in that situation that is going to bark so
prevent the situation from happening tip number two don't let your dog to
practice that unwanted behavior over and over again limit your dog's environment
and the situation for example you know the mailman comes at nine o'clock and
your dog goes crazy so prevent your dog from getting to that zone that it
expects the mailman at nine o'clock so remove it from the front
door to somewhere else so it doesn't see or hear the mailman for example if your
dog is watching outside of the window and checks and sees who comes around and
who goes around or waits for anybody to walk by
and then starts barking then prevent your dog from getting to that zone that
environment or by the window don't let your dog to watch outside don't come up
with excuses that you can cover the window you can't do anything about it
there's always a solution you can hang a low curtain on the bottom of the window
so your dog has no access viewing outside you can put your dog in a different room
you can also leash your dog and do whatever you're doing if you're in the
kitchen your dog could be in the kitchen if you are in the office your dog could
be end it in the office on a leash if your dog is barking at people who are
coming as soon as the door bell goes off and your dog starts barking then we go
to the next tip tip number three so this applies to all of the situation
don't practice or correct your dog when your dog is actually barking when it's
actually misbehaving this is very important to understand when your dog is
barking or misbehaving is not the time to correct your dog it's not the time to
train your dog it's not the time to teach your dog you want to manage your
dog in that moment if your dog is barking and you're yelling at your dog
to stop barking you're joining your dog you're barking as well the reason your
dog is barking is because either is not clear of what is supposed to do in that
situation or you have not communicated clearly to your dog of what it's
supposed to do when certain situations happen which brings me to tip number
four teach your dog a cue for when your dog is doing something wrong it could be
any word it could be anything you better word it you better ask your dog to
listen to you when you're saying something this word could be
anything could be stopped it could be NO could be cucumber could be
anything but you need to have taught this queue to your dog before hands your
dog has to be familiar with this cue so your dogs knows and thinks when I'm
barking or when I'm doing this behavior when I hear this cue I gotta stop teach
your dog or practice what you want your dog to do when is doing something wrong
and replace that behavior that unwanted behavior with the behavior that you want
give your dog a couple of options one or two options either listen to what I'm
saying or let's play so you're giving options
to a dog to do something other than barking which brings me to tip number
five provide something else for the dog to do if you don't want your dog to bark
teach it or let it know to do something else instead for example you can teach
your dog to sit and stay or play on command so the dog associate so when I
hear this when I see these when I feel this this is what I'm supposed to do
when I hear the doorbell I sit or I get to play with my dad or mom now I have a
bonus tip as well so you need to understand the reason your dog is
barking is because in a way your dog is interacting with that situation with
that whatever is happening it interacts with for example the dog sees a mailman
coming it starts barking is interacting with the mailman and then all of a
sudden the mailman is gone so the interaction worked people are passing by
the window I bark I interact with them people pass by and out they're gone
interaction stops the doorbell goes off I bark people come in they play with me
they pet me I interact with them so there is some form of interaction
happening when the dog is barking so you need to interact with your dog before
during and after the behavior repeats you can either shout at your dog or get
physical with your dog or you can take that opportunity
and your dog something that you want it to do so replace with something
that you want your dog to do I hope these tips are going to help you with
