Start by teaching your dog a simple 'watch me' command while there are no other distractions.

Once your dog has nailed it, start by have a strange dog far away and as soon as your dog spots it, give your dog the 'watch me' command. When the dog turns to look at you reward them with a treat.

This teaches them to focus on you and in turn ignore the other dog.

Gradually move the other dog closer and closer repeating the cycle.

Be patient. This may take some time but with persistence can work well.

The other option is to use a 'Halty' or 'Gentle Leader'. These work particularly well with aggressive dogs. As soon as your dog shows aggression towards another dog, you pull it around and face its backside to the other dog. This is a natural movement for a dog to show dominance to the other dog while still remaining calm. This enables your dog to keep its dignity while you take control of the situation.

The key is persistence!

What do barking dogs seldom do?

Barking dogs seldom listen. They're too busy barking to pay attention to any other noises, even if they can hear them. This is also true of shouting humans. If your dog is barking and you need them to stop, get to their level and take them gently by the head; look into their eyes and reassure them in a calm, quiet manner, until they stop barking. You'd do the same with a child having a screaming tantrum, or a hysterical adult. You need to remain calm and hold the noisy one with reassuring gentleness and calming sounds. Raising your voice to make them hear you over their own noise works no better with dogs than it does with humans!

The best positive reinforcement way to train a dog to stop barking is to remove the motivation. If he barks at people passing by outside, eliminate their view by closing the curtains. Another technique is when he is barking ignore the dog completely and when he quiets down give him a treat.


How do you get my dog to stop barking?

Re: How I Got My Neighbor's Dog To Stop Barking And It may help you too! I recently had a really bad situation involving my neighbor's dogs and their barking. I work at night and sleep during the day when people usually don't pay attention to their barking dogs. I asked my neighbors to quiet their dogs down and they agreed. The dogs are still barking at about the same rate so I am sure that they did not take me seriously. After weeks of not being able to sleep, I decided to check the internet and found a lot of people that recommended "The Barking Dog CD". To make a long story short, I popped the CD into my CD player and the dogs stopped barking almost immediately. As on person stated "I almost fell out of my chair when the dogs stopped barking". I totally agree with them. It worked like a charm. The website is at http://www.onegreatproduct.info if you are interested. This method should also work on your own dog if you are having problems with your dog. I certainly hope that I was helpful to you.
