 Each one of us who has a canine will face different types of training challenges.  For some it’s how to get your dog to sit and stay.  For some the training challenge is stopping their dogs barking.

 Barking is part of the dogs instincts so stopping it will be difficult indeed. Don’t forget , your dog isn’t barking just to get your goat, so punishing him is not a very effective method of fixing it.

 Here’s a few ideas to stop the barking.

Stop Dog Barking

*What Barking Would You Like To Stop?

 Step #1 is deciding the type of barking behavior you want stopped. Getting your dog to quit barking completely is something that you don’t want to do. It wouldn’t be normal for the dog and would be a near impossible task to complete. Turn your focus to the barking that is the biggest nuisance. For example, if left in the yard during the evening does the barking go on “all night long”? Is barking an every time thing should someone come to the front door? The list could go on and on I am sure.

 Decide at what times the barking occurs the most and then turn your focus towards curbing that one.

*Is There A Reason Behind This?

 More often than not there is a justification why your pet is barking. When he hears someone outside the door, he is giving you a heads up.

 The all night barking in the yard could be loneliness or boredom.

 You will be much more equipped to fix the behavior if you can just figure out the why.

  Sometimes it could be as simple as changing his surroundings or his focus. If your dog barks at night while outside, bring him in.

* Pick A Training Method

 Start obedience training your dog again. Fixing the bad behaviors of a trained canine is so much easier to do than if the dog has no training.

 *Getting Professional Advice

 There may be times that you will have to call in a professional. If the decision is made to find a professional, ask if he has experience with the barking behavior.

 Stay strong and stay optimistic. For every problem there is a solution.
