My grandmother has a dog that always barks and will not stop what can I do.?

Answer 1

Try watching "The Dog Whisperer", on the Discovery channel, I think. It's amazing what Cesar Milan can do with a dog in a matter of minutes, usually. He also has a book out "Cesar's Way". Lots of good info. Most dog problems are because their humans, are treating them like humans, instead of dogs. He tells how to provide balance to your dogs life.

For a quick temporary fix, you could buy a plant called a deffenbaccia. Not sure of the spelling. This plant, temporarily, paralyzes the muscles that control the voice box. The dog may chew on the leaves of the plant on his own, or it might need to be snuck into his food. The effect last for a few hours.

Answer 2

What I did to teach my dog not to bark all the time is this:

Fill a spray bottle with half water and half regular Listerine mouthwash. When the dog barks you must spray it directly in its mouth right away. Do this consistently for a week or two and the dog will stop barking. The Listerine does not hurt the dog (just be sure not to get it in the dog's eyes).

This works because dogs do not like the taste, and on top of that they don't like getting sprayed. They then associate barking with a response they don't like. After awhile, I only had to show my dog the spray bottle and he would stop barking. It really works.

Good luck!

Stop Dog Barking
Dogs bark, what's the problem?
The problem of course, is when your dog won't stop barking and it bothers the neighbors. More often than not, barking can be eliminated or reduced to reasonable levels quickly and easily.

Normal barking
Barking for attention
Make sure your barking dog is being fed properly and has water continually available. Outdoor dogs need shade in the summer and a warm enclosure in the winter. See training your dog to stop barking

Frustration barking
Confined dogs can quickly become frustrated by people on the other side of a fence or beyond the reach of their leash. Sometimes children or neighbors will threaten or yell at a barking dog, which makes things worse. This sort of barking can be corrected by bringing your dog inside or providing a kennel area shielded from view of the sidewalk.

Quick ways to stop barking
Citronella anti bark collar
The new Gentle Spray citronella barking collar is safe, humane and remarkably effective.

When your dog barks, the collar sprays a light mist of citronella scent in front of his nose. Dogs don't like this. The hissing noise startles them and dogs seem to dislike the smell. Most dogs figure things out very quickly and stop barking. University studies have shown that citronella barking collars are twice as effective as shock collars.

We've had excellent success using these collars for barking problems at our animal hospital. We can't guarantee that the Gentle Spray collar will work for your dog, but nearly all our customers use these collars successfully and are very happy with the product. see letter . To find out if the collar is likely to work for your dog, see do not order the collar if
These may or may not be available at your pet store, but you can order the Gentle Spray citronella anti bark collar on line at fuzzytummy.com

Anti barking shock collars
I don't like anti bark shock collars at all. You can't tell if they are working and unless you try the collar out on yourself, something which doesn't appeal to me personally, you can't tell how much it hurts. Besides that, they don't work. Recent university studies found citronella barking collars to be twice as effective as anti bark shock collars.

Debarking surgery
Dogs have a fold of tissue on each side of the larynx which must tighten and vibrate to make a bark. Debarking surgery removes this tissue. After the operation, dogs have only a whispery bark, and most of the time both dogs and owners are quite happy with this. Unfortunately, some or all of the the bark comes back within a few months. Because we know how awful it would be to "debark" a person, many people think the operation is inhumane. Since the surgery is often unsatisfactory and because many people consider it cruel, veterinarians seldom suggest debarking as a solution to barking problems.

Answer 4

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/doglessons

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Answer 7

How to Stop your Dog From Barking
To stop a dog from barking you must first understand why they bark. Dogs bark to signal to the rest of their pack, (meaning any humans or animals in your household), that they believe there is a potential threat to the safety of the pack. This can be barking at sounds outside that they can not see, strangers walking past your home or yard, visitors coming into your home and even cars driving by outside. One of the main problems with constant barkers is the fact that they believe that they are the “pack leaders”, therefore responsible for the safety of the pack. Not understanding this fact can lead to frustration on your part because to you it seems like your dog may be barking at every little thing for no reason. Barking signals the pack to be on alert. If you are acknowledging this by yelling at your dog or smacking your dog, it will confuse the dog. It sends the signal that you are mad at them for doing the job they feel they were elected to do. To stop a dog from barking, you must establish to them that you are the pack leader. This takes the responsibility away from your dog and places it on you. Giving you a more calm and relaxed dog. Your dog will still bark when it feels there may be a threat, but all you will have to do is use a signal phrase to stop your dog from barking. This can be anything from, “quiet”, “enough” or even “thank you”. Your dog will come to understand that once he/she has risen the alarm and you say your signal phrase, that you are handling the situation and the dog can relax, thus stopping the barking. I first ask you to read the article: “How to Tell if Your Dog Has a Superiority Complex, and What to Do About It” at http://www.thepetproject.zoomshare.com Follow the steps of Amichein Bonding laid out in this article. This is the first step you must take to effectively stop your dog from barking. The next step is to establish your signal phrase. Use a word that is easy for the dog to understand. One word that is not associated with any other training your dog has had. Example: If you used the word “stop” in previous training to stop your dog when walking, don’t use it again here. When your dog starts to bark, say your dogs name, to get their attention so they know you are referring to them, and use your signal phrase. Example: “Fido, quiet”, or “Fido, enough”. If your dog stops barking, praise them and give a food reward. I use food rewards to first introduce new training, however I have come across some dogs that will bark just to get the food reward. So after your dog has gotten the hang of things, you need to drop the food reward to every other time, then to once in a while. Praise will be just as good to the dog as a food reward. If your dog ignores your command and continues to bark, quietly and calmly walk over to your dog. Place one hand gently over your dogs muzzle to close his/her mouth while saying your signal phrase calmly. You must be very calm. If you are agitated or loud your dog will sense that you are upset and believe that there is a real danger to the pack, thus confirming its alarm signal. Once the dog has stopped barking, reward and praise. If, however your dog still believes that he/she is the pack leader, your attempts to stop the barking may do no good. The idea that a subordinate is telling the leader to stop what it is doing, only increases dominate behavior. This can lead to, jumping up on you to appear bigger and to look you in the eye, ( a very dominate thing to do), as well as food protectiveness, pulling on the lead and aggressive behavior. It is very important to establish leadership to your dog. This opens the door to easy training. This will take time and patience, but it will pay off. Your dog will come to understand that it is thanked for the alarm, and the cavalry is here to take over, signaling that his/her work is done. Soon all you will have to say is your signal phrase and your dog will stop barking. Leaving you to a calm and quiet home.
