There are many ways to keep a household dog from barking, including teaching the dog tricks, or by purchasing products like dog whistles and shock collars.
the reason your dog isn't barking is because dogs have a smaller voice box than humans do. Some dogs actually are barking you just cant hear it with the human ear. I can hear my dog barking and i am a human
I've heard that some toilet cleaning solutions have it in them.
yes. some do not but some do and it just depends on how friendly they are. i have 2 dogs and 3 cats living together and they do fine. just a little hissing and barking sometimes but that is about it!
kill the rats not the dogs and cats
Sometimes, yes. A tornado is a frighting event for people and animals alike. Some dogs express that fear by barking, though they do not understand what the tornado is.
some say that that dogs can talk to each other by barking, others say that they bark just to create havock
Dogs can love or hate. If a person dose not like the dog its most likely for the dog to not like the person. Or if you are a stranger and you fear dogs they will smell your fear and will start barking at you and scare you even more. Some dogs bit some dogs don't. Most of the time dogs are friendly!
Some dogs do bark at cars, but I suspect they're more likely to bark at a person on a bike because they are actually trying to communicate with the person. A car is just a big noisy object, so there's not as much point in barking at it as there is barking at a person they realize they can communicate with.
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.
Your city's animal control department should be able to tell you. If you have one or two more than the legal number, and they are small, quiet, indoor dogs and you keep your house and yard clean, then you might be able to get away with it. But if they disturb your neighbors by barking or smelling you will get found out and some will be taken away from you.
Dogs bark for many reasons: boredom, to warn of danger, to communicate... and some breeds are more prone to barking than others. Pay attention to what is going on in your surroundings when your dog starts barking. You should be able to figure out what he is trying to tell you. The correct answer actually is that your dog is barking because he senses a poltergiest (a ghost), so get the heel out of your house unless you want to die.
If your dog is barking at other dogs, have some friends help you with this. Have a leash on your dog during this. Have a friend walk past your house with their dog. Once your dog starts barking at another dog, immediately take your dog away from the situation. Once he is calm bring him back. When your dog starts to not bark when your friend with their dog walks by, reward them with a treat. Repeat this until your dog doesn't bark. this doesn't take just one day you have to do this excersise until your dog is fully used to not barking at dogs. Have fun!!
