Barking is a normal behavior for dogs. However, when barking becomes excessive, it can not only be bothersome for you but for your neighbors as well. So how do you teach your dog that some barking is OK, while excessive barking is not? First, you need to find the reason your dog is barking.
Dogs that are left alone all day can get bored and sometimes even suffer from separation anxiety. It’s important to keep your dog active and well-exercised every day so that they can get rid of excess energy in a productive way. Take your dog for a daily walk, play fetch, and spend 5-10 minutes every night running through training techniques like commands to sit, shake, and roll over. When physically and mentally exercised daily, most dogs will use the time their owner is away to sleep or just relax.
Some dogs bark because they are startled. They may be afraid of a loud thunderstorm outside or a noisy truck passing by. Easily excitable dogs need reassurance from their owners that they are safe and cared for. If your dog barks because he’s scared or startled, try taking him to a part of the house or apartment that is more quiet or turning on a radio to play some music that can block out the noise.
Often, dogs bark as a means of getting attention. In these cases, it’s best to ignore your dog and only reward him when he’s quiet again. This is often difficult to do since our first instincts are to admonish or quiet a barking dog. Just remember that any attention you give your dog when he’s barking incessantly will only reinforce his barking behavior.
Another reason that dogs tend to bark is to warn you of some perceived threat. The best way to deal with warning barks is to allow your dog to bark two or three times to alert you. After three times, while using a firm voice, tell him “no bark” or “quiet”. If your dog still does not stop barking, you can use a squirt bottle filled with clean water to spray his mouth. When he stops barking, reward him immediately. The next time he barks, repeat the command, spray his mouth, and wait for three seconds of no barking before you reward him. Continue to increase the time of no barking with each occurrence.
When working on bark control, remember that consistency is the key. With a little time and patience, you can look forward to having a dog that has his barking under control.
