how to train a pet dog not to bark when everybody's not home?

Question

I noticed all my neighbors dogs bark whenever everyone's out. How do we prevent this from happening? Can be very loud since we live in apt. and a major noise nuisance. My friend's dog bark till she's hoarse when they get home

Answer 1

Tell them to give the dogs more to play with, like those balls that hold treats and the dog has to get them out.

also they have citrus spray units that go around the dogs neck, when the dog barks it gets a spray of the citrus which they dont like

Answer 2

There is nothing you can do except report her to the apt. mgr. and the police.

You can recommend she get a Bark training collar. It gives the dog a shock when it barks. It is not cruel. The dog will stop barking after a few barks. It will still test it for several days, but will quickly stop when it finds the shock is still there. It stopped one of my dogs from barking all night in just a few minutes. He still challanged it for three days. Then quit barking completely at night.

Answer 3

Bring he dog to the pet trainer for training.
He might felt scared that why always bark after no one at home.
