Dog Care & Training : Creative Ways to Stop a Dog From Barking

[kvickers33371]

My dog is outside. He is really bad with the barking. when he was a puppy and barked when we didn't want him to I or my husband would put a mesh muzzle on him for a few minutes.Well he out grew the muzzle and stayed reasonable for a while. Now the barking has picked up again.He is a bull mastif, German Sheppard, chow mix. He's not even a year old yet and I want to stop the excessive barking now. We live in the middle of a cow pasture. He barks at cars, other dogs, cows, people including me. HELP

My dog just barks with the toy in his mouth lol

[gjso7]

My doberman only barks when he enjoying himself from *quarreling* with his older brother who's a dog too.... He was so excited which makes me always hesitate about should I interrupt his game or not :\ So glad they are all inside dogs, won't bother anyone but me.

[YouDontHaveToWatch]

My dog likes to bark at random inanimate objects that aren't doing anything...

[GsGlitterNails]

the dog will drop the toy and continue barking ...

see... my black 4 yr old labrador is messed up. lol. i have one of does tie down things.

i tied him ones and a half hour later he was running around with the chewed up dog leach.Then the next day i went to walmart and bot a chain leach. This time he did not chew it up.... oh no he didn't he just pulled and pulled. but he could break the chain. he just ended up damaging his throat and the floor. i guess thats what you get when you buy a cheep 70 dollar labrador. >= |

Some people with dogs are plain anti-social. They probably don`t realise it, however. There`s a family who live near me who have a dog that barks for much of the day. Now, if I got up one Sunday morning at 6am and went outside and shouted, "get you the hell out of bed," I`d be locked up. But people don`t seem to find it a problem inflicting their dog on the rest of us. A dog that barks from morning till night is not one persons dog. It`s everybody`s dog. Everybody`s alarm clock.

[kvickers33371]

@valarmanwe Unfortunately my dog is like that but no matter how much you say quiet, no, or whatever it only works for a moment. Our neighborhood is filled with dogs however, if one dog starts all 50 of them start.

[paulie227]

My dog is a 3.5 month old puppy. She barks with a purpose....let's play, I want some of what you have, give me that, pick me up, let me out...she practically "talks"..she makes these little growling-like sounds in her throat while looking at you and telling what to do...how to I channel that?

[BDpartnercoJM]

@paulie227

Thats Awesome!

[wildpitchernae]

if you give your dog treats when he barks, isnt that like rewarding his bad behaviour for barking?

[paulie227]

@wildpitchernae no, what you reward is the silence....wait for that few seconds when he shuts up and then give him the reward...while he's barking ignore him, then as soon as he takes a breath ready to bark some more and is quiet even for a second or two give him the treat....he'll realize he gets a treat when he's quiet and ignored when he's barking.

[ComfortablyNumbAgain]

tie a dog to a wall? lol 

[Kristinaheartsmazin]

Yeah right...when somone comes over, thats the only thing on his mind....ive tried having guests give him treats and he barks while chewing...lol.

[deezbeatz07]

[barkoffasseenontv]

My dog hates toys

[fuckupyourmouth]

I have fucking hunting dogs!!! Theyre not pussys who play with toys! how do i stop them barking

[hamslice15164]

lol. the toy thing. my 8 year old english setter barks his balls off when anyone comes to the door. after their let in he grabs this toy and jumps on them and acts like an ahole until he's not being payed any attention. "NO BARKING" after 8 years he knows what it means but is stubborn. as soon as he barks he gets his muzzle and freeze like he was given a truck load of thorize. he hates it. it's like the end of the world, but still after 8 years he rather take the muzzle than shut up.

[Bitrunner1]

The toy thing is very creative... teach them a new response to the stimulus, rather than just trying to stop the bad response.

Brilliant! 5 stars!

[mafatchu]

I think it's funny that any videos I see where you have to teach your dog something, people comment negatively on it. These methods DO work. Your just lazy and want a quick fix when you've never even taught them the right thing to do yet.

[hamslice15164]

yeah, if i rewarded my dog with a treat then it stop barking it would just bark again for more food. he's very smart but he's never going shut up.

[IloveDogTraining]

dogs are wonderful you can tell how happy they are

[shino487]

my dog goes crazy whenever we have to leave her alone. can you help with that?

[icaown]

[dogwhisperer2]

What about taking a dog with a barking issue and SHOW us how to fix it?

that would be much more powerful than all of the theory stuf...

[igguka]
