All dogs bark. Dogs bark to communicate. Barking tells us there is something wrong, that the dog is feeling some sort of emotion- fear, anxiety, stress, arousal, etc. To punish a dog for this natural behavior that it has evolved to do is cruel. However most people don't know how to solve common barking issues with their dogs, and so feel there is no choice. I plan to make a series of episodes on barking covering all barking issues and how to train your dog not to bark in those situations. In this video I will be showing you a simple exercise on how to change your dogs emotional state using clicker training or (saying the word 'yes'). When you change a dogs emotional state from fearful, stressed, aroused, to that of calm relaxed confident and happy, all the symptoms disappear (such as barking).

Hope you enjoy!

Happy training!

  • Hi!!! when Sweet was a puppie, she used to bark to scary objects, I tauch her the comand "touch" with normal things, and when we meet somethins scaring, I ask her "touch" and she forgets the problem and is able to think and work and don´t feel scared. Now she is adult girl and is perfect with new things :))))

    Good video!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • That is awesome!

  • Love it!

    I had to use this with a motion sensitive, animated, life-sized witch that cackled and talked as we went by! It spooked ME when it started moving, and Dazzle about wet himself. We did a lot of work going up behind it so it wouldn't start moving. Once he was good with that, I took him in front, but as far away as I could get while someone else triggered it. I did some classical conditioning, but by then he was ready to take a closer look even with it moving and making noise.

  • Gosh, I dont know if Splash is ready for a cackling witch!
