Bringing home a new puppy is an exciting time in many people’s lives. However, once the novelty of the moment has begun to wear off, dog owners are then left with a confusing reality. A puppy must be trained. One of the most frustrating and difficult aspects of a puppy’s training, is teaching a puppy the appropriate times to bark. A puppy that is allowed to bark incessantly will continue this behavior throughout its adult life, and can become a nuisance to its family, guests, and neighbors.
Bark Control In Three Easy Steps:
1. Use a firm and consistent command to cease barking. It is best to choose a separate command that is not used for anything other unwanted behaviors. For this reason, commands like No or Stop are too general. Your puppy will better associate a specific command like No Barking or Quiet with the need to stop barking. This command must be stated firmly, in a voice that is a louder than what is usually used to speak to the puppy. This will help to show the puppy who is in charge of the situation and reiterate that it is necessary to obey this command. In addition, the same command must be used consistently every time an unwanted barking session begins. Without consistency a puppy will never fully learn to obey this command, which is the fault of the master.
2. Incorporate treats into training. When a puppy listens to the ’no barking’ command for a few seconds, promptly give the puppy a treat. This will help the puppy associate the command with a pleasant outcome. Puppies learn at a much increased rate when pleasantly rewarded for their obedient behavior. Once a puppy fully listens to its masters command to cease barking, a decreased number of treats will be needed to reinforce the behavior. However, at the beginning of training, the use of treats will be a powerful persuasion towards obedience.
3. Understand that some puppies truly have a mind of their own. While some puppies may be more difficult to train than others, all dogs can be made to be obedient . In the case that a puppy will not listen to its masters chosen command to stop barking, negative reinforcement may need to be used. In the case that a puppy will not obey commands, fill a water bottle with rocks and shake the water bottle every time the puppy barks. This sound is unpleasant to dogs and will help a puppy associate barking with an unpleasant noise, as a means to discontinue the behavior.

Puppy schools are for both the owner and the puppy. Most schools allow you to attend with your dog, and not only teach your dog obedience but teach the dog owner how to interact correctly with their pet.
Poodles can be rather vocal dogs. The first thing to do is to teach your dog to speak on command. Once they learn the "Speak" command, you can teach then the "Quiet" command.Be persistent and consistent. Have regular training sessions rather than waiting until you are dealing with visitors AND a barking dog. Praise your dog for being quiet in any situation where they would normally be barking, saying "Good Quiet".You can also try walking away and ignoring them when they bark - your reaction may actually be encouraging the noise inadvertently. And make sure visitors do the same.Another (Safe) Alternative to Prevent Your Dog From BarkingA dog parent can also try safe ultrasonic bark control. When your dog barks the ultrasonic bark control unit emits a high frequency sound that only your dog can hear. Each dog bark triggers the bark control unit to emit the sound. The dog will stop barking when he/she hears it. Soon the dog will realize that their barking causes the uncomfortable noise and will stop barking. The ultrasonic bark control is not recommended in a house with cats since they are also able to hear the high frequency sound.There are two types of Safe Ultrasonic Bark Controls: Indoor and Outdoor. The Indoor Bark Control unit sits on any flat surface in your house. The Outdoor Bark Control looks like a Birdhouse and can be placed on any outside tree. The device not only looks great for your outdoor decor but an added benefit is controls not only your dog from barking but also your neighbor's barking dog. The Indoor Bark Control unit can be controlled manually or automatically. Manually means you will press the button when you hear your dog bark. Automatic means the device will emit the sound when it picks up the dog bark.
