Incessant Barking: Part 2
In the wild, dogs have their own technique of going about things their way. But if you desire your dog to be a obedient pet and to live in your home with you, you have to train him the human way of living. Particularly, you have to teach your dog to convey his normal and natural dog behaviors. Failing to learn where to ease himself, what to chew, when to bark, when to jump up and where to dig are the top reasons why the association fails and people give up their dogs. Fortunately, these techniques are so easy to teach that you and your dog are guaranteed to have a long and happy life together.
Yard Barker: Barking dogs are one of the most frequent complaints of urban and suburban neighbors. A dog that is left outside will alert to all the visual and auditory stimuli. Dogs are frequently relegated to the yard since they are not house trained or chew toy trained. If that is the case, you require to housetrain and chew toy train your dog. Take him out from the backyard and bring him into your home! Giving your dog a few well-stuffed chew toys is the easiest and most efficient solution. This way he has something to think about other than barking. A well-stuffed chew toy will maintain your dog busy for a while (this means no time for barking). If you want to, place his food bowl away and simply feed him from his chew toys. This way, you will keep him very busy!
Attention Seeking Barker: When you are comfortable and in a good mood, tie your dog to a safe spot in the house. Stand or sit next to your dog and ignore him. When he barks, move away. When he stops, even for just a moment, move closer. Your dog will quickly realize that barking means you leave and quiet means you return. When he is quiet for 10 to 15 seconds, approach and praise him followed by a treat.
Owner-Absent Barker: What if your dog barks since he is bored and stressed when left at home alone? Unfortunately, our canine friends are frequently left alone for long periods of time. Being social animals, it is tough for dogs to know why their family leaves them. Nevertheless, you can train your dog to bear and even enjoy your absence. First, train your dog to spend time alone when you are home. Most dog owners make the error of spending all the time they are home with their dog at their side. While this may appear to be a kind and loving act, it only serves to make matters worse. Your dog will become used to steady companionship and be more likely to fall apart when you leave. Instead, teach your dog to have quiet moments by himself while you are home, so he will feel more confident when you are not there. Regularly and for short periods of time, detain your dog to another room, his crate or on a tie-down and provide him a well-stuffed chew toy to occupy his time.
