Help my Dogs....................?

Question

Hi guys, just wanted to know, why do dogs like pissing on tyres or is it just my dogs that do that? Also i'd like to ask, how do i stop my dogs from barking at other dogs and people unnecesarily?

Answer 1

you must have male dogs if they are pissing on tires. i can tell you what my uncle did to make the dogs quit that behavior. he took at charger for the electric fence, hooked it up to the tractor tire and when the dog peed on it he got one heck of a shock and quit that behavior. as to the reason they bark at other dogs and people, are these other dogs or people in your yard?? or in an area your dogs consider to be their property? if so, your dogs are just doing what comes naturally and protecting their property from outsiders.

Answer 2

They piss on tires, fire hydrants, side tables, trees and almost anything else because they like to mark their territory. This is more pronounced in male dogs than female dogs.

In order for them to stop barking at other dogs and people, you have to make sure that they are properly socialized while they are still young. However, dogs have separate personalities also so even if you socialize them enough, there will always be some dogs that do not like other dogs and other humans too and will bark at them.

Answer 3

Dogs urinate on stuff to mark their territory, its to make it clear to other animals to steer clear ....(its THEIR yard/house/tyre/human etc) To deal with a troublesome dog to stop it from barking a local vet advised me that a water pistol with cold water in it sprayed at them when then do it should calm it down or you can attempt to get the new collars that are available now, im not sure how much they cost but are quite expensive...check with your local vet to find out how much. They work by giving the dog a small electrical impulse 'like a shock but not painful, or detrimental to their health' that lets them know that they are doing the wrong thing. It might be worth finding out weather they maybe just need attention, or there is something bothering them first that you don't know about, check out your yard thoroughly before resorting to other measures.

Answer 4

I think all dogs like to pee on tires, well male dogs anyways. You can't really stop them from barking at other dogs. It's there nature. Just love and spoil them immensely. Dogs are the best. My Kalli is the cutest dog in the world.

Answer 5

That's what dogs do...they are highly territorial and they scent mark their boundaries to alert other dogs to their territory. Dogs also bark to acknowledge the presence of other animals (humans included) in their domain.

While it is possible to train your dog not to do those things, doing so is robbing them of their right to be what they were born to be. If you didn't want to put up with the things that make a dog a dog, you shouldn't have gotten a dog to begin with.

Answer 6

To stop unneccessary barking, get a squirt bottle, fill with water. Everytime they bark, say NO BARK in a stern voice and squirt them with the water. After a few weeks, they should quite at the command and the water will not be needed.

Answer 7

With few exceptions, all dogs bark. Barking is a natural behaviour and it is a way of communicating. While the messages can range from loneliness to hunger or playfulness, most often barking is used as an alarm or alert signal that indicates to the other pack members that a stranger or intruder is approaching

Most people have a feeling of security and comfort knowing their dogs are “on the job”. Some people even encourage their dogs to bark and growl when the doorbell rings or someone knocks. They feel this is acceptable behaviour, however, when the dogs become uncontrollable, with barking that is excessive, they become a nuisance. Life is miserable for neighbours who must listen day after day to barking dogs.
Excessive barking often begins in puppy-hood, when the pup who is not yet house-trained is unwisely shut behind closed doors. Improper confinement will definitely cause a barking problem, and dogs that are tied or tethered will eventually become frustrated and begin to bark to communicate their displeasure. We must always remember that dogs are pack animals. It is not natural or normal for them to be alone, however, millions of dogs must learn to cope confidently while members of the family go out daily to work.

Chewing, uncontrolled barking, house-training problems and destructive behaviour have put many dogs out of their homes, and all of this could be avoided if we simply communicated more effectively with our canine companions. They are part of a pack or family, similar in behaviour to their ancestors, the wolves. Wolves travel, hunt, sleep and eat in a group environment, therefore, we must modify this instinct. We must, in our human packs, make our dogs feel comfortable and secure about being alone in the “den” while the other pack members are away.

Because most barking takes place when you are away from home, you have no choice but to believe your neighbours when they complain.

Barking is actually quite common and not that difficult to rectify. Let us consider the encouraging owner who inadvertently praises and teaches his or her dog that its barking is the greatest thing, which makes the dog feel its owner is happy and pleased when he barks.

The easiest way to teach the dog to bark is command him to “speak”. So while the dog is barking at the door, the owner may use the command word “speak”. The dog will associate barking behaviour with this word. Now, your golden moment has arrived. You are going to teach your dog the word “quiet”, or “enough” or “shush” (your choice!). We do not teach the word “No”, because “No” means “Never, ever do that - ever".

When you command your dog to be “Quiet” and he keeps barking, you will have to teach him the meaning of the word “Quiet”. Hitting your dog or using other physical measure or mechanical or electronic aids are unkind and unnecessary. You may hold your dog’s muzzle closed (gently and kindly), or you may have to use a water pistol. Another method is to make a sudden sharp sound (rattle a pop can with some coins in it, or bang on a pot) to divert your dog’s attention from barking. When your dog has ceased to bark for at least three to five seconds, praise him in a quiet, calm voice, perhaps saying, “Good, quiet. Good!”. Avoid stroking, patting and hugging your dog at this point, as you may over-excite him again, and he may miss the point of the whole exercise.

Before you leave your dog alone, remember the following points:

Provide adequate exercise.

Leave the radio or television on.

Provide your dog with proper chewing material - rawhide, nylabones and Kong toys stuffed with yummy stuff are good (beware of using real animal bones - they can splinter).

Crate train your dog.

Unplug your phone.

Place a “Do Not Disturb” sign on your door. This may prevent trades people from knocking or ringing the bell, which would set your dog off on a barking cycle.

Shut the shades or drapes so your dog cannot see outside.

Make your departures calm. Tone things down and be matter of fact. Over-emotional, guilt-ridden departures (and entrances) put your dog in a state of anxiety.


if this does not work buy a shock bark collar
