i have a jack russell she quiet during the day but barks all night how can i stop her from barking?

Answer 1

Give her Chamomile tea, to help her calm down, and she will sleep through the night..
Chamomile tea works very well, and is safe for her. Dump it out of the teabag, and use 1 teaspoon for small breed, . Mix it in a little canned food, such as Mighty Dog, or Cesar's, and give about 30 minutes before bedtime. It will keep her happy, but reduce stress. It can be given as needed.
Brew yourself a cup, and both of you will get a good night's sleep..
You will find it in your grocer's tea section.

I have recommended this several times on this forum, and the askers always tell me it works wonders..

Answer 2

The question is WHY is she barking at night? Is she isolated from you? Is she outside where she can't see/be near you? Are you in an area (like ours) where there are wild animals outside that she feels she has to ward off?

If her body-clock is screwed up from sleeping all day and being active all night, you'll need to stay home with her for a week or two to "re-program" her body.

Give her lots of exercise during the day to help her use up her enegry, and then give her something soothing (like Rescue Remedy or camomile tea) about an hour before bedtime to help her calm down and sleep.

When she barks, give her a firm and reassuring, "No barking" command (don't YELL, just be firm and calm), and then ignore her. If the noise continues, give her the command again, and then ignore her. If you give her a lot of attention when she's noisy, you're reinforcing the barking behavior. If she realizes she can't get a lot of attention from barking, she'll stop it.

Do NOT use shock collars, rattle cans or other adversives on dogs. They teach the dogs nothing except to be afraid of you.

Number one, don't yell at her when she does it. You are the alpha dog in her mind and if she's barking and then you start raising your voice, to her you are barking also so she thinks she's supposed to.
Try one of these methods.
Fill a spray bottle with water and a very small amount of vinegar. Spray the dog when she barks. (Don't spray her eyes) Dogs don't like the smell of vinegar and this will deter her.
Get a soda can, put 10 pennies in it and tape the top up so the pennies don't come out. When the dog starts barking, throw the penny can on the floor. DO NOT let her see that you are the one causing the startling noise. This idea also works with a rolled up newspaper. When she barks, smack your hand or a table with the paper. Again, don't let her see you do this.

The point behind these techniques is conditioning. Unwarranted barking yields unfavorable results.

Try these out, there's a vast list of other remedies also. If these aren't beneficial to you I will email you a list if you'd like.

Answer 4

It depends on why she is barking, really. Make sure she has access to water, of course. My shih tzu did this same thing, but when we let him sleep in the bedroom where we are he's fine. He just needed to know where we are.

The absolute best thing to do is ignore her, so she learns that barking doesn't do her any good. If the barking is really a nuisance you can train her not to bark (teach her to "speak" and then teach her the command for "enough"). You can also do something to startle her like shake a can of pennies--they don't like the noise. You should not yell or verbally respond, as she interprets that as barking back...it actually enforces the barking. If you have to, you can buy collars that work to prevent barking by either shocking the dog or releasing a citrus spray in their face when they bark, but I really don't like those.

Answer 5

Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.

1. Maybe your dog is barking at something ... mice or cats.
2. Maybe your dog is afraid of the dark.
3. Maybe your dog is bored.
4. Maybe your dog is lonely.
5. Maybe your dog wants to be with you.
6. Maybe your dog is neurotic.

First, try to reassure her. Put a light on for her, let her know where you are, ensure that she has some nice toys to play with. Make sure there is no PRACTICAL reason for her barking (maybe you have a peeping Tom?)

Second, try scolding and saying NO! when she barks. Reinforce that with a spray bottle.

Third, try a citronella collar or blowing on a dog whistle when she barks.

Fourth, get her a playmate.

Answer 6

Get a Spray Bottle with water in it and EVERYTIME she barks spray her. That's what we did with our Jack Russell when he would whine at night. Worked great! If that doesn't work try filling up an empty pop can with a few pennies and everytime she barks shake it until she stops.

Good Luck!!

Answer 7

Try a muzzle on her at night. I even had my dog in his cage next to my bed and kept a spray bottle with water and every time he woke me up I would mist him with it eventually he stopped but I did have to go through a couple of nights with little sleep. They also have a collar you can buy that mists them with citronella every time they bark you can try that. I saw that on drsfostersmith.com

Answer 8

is she locked in a room at night away from you?? if so she could be lonley. if she is then you coud put a radio or a tv on quietly in the room with her, so that she dosent feel alone, this often works. or you could get a shock coller, or a coller that sprays a blast of citurs gas, this is not harmful its just the shock of air being blown at them

Answer 9

We tend to think of dog training as a series of steps for teaching particular behaviors. To teach a dog to stay in a particular position, you reward her as she remains in place for gradually longer times, at gradually greater distances, with gradually increasing degrees of distraction.

Now, this is fine, training does involve teaching dogs specific behaviors with a step-by-step approach. This week, though, I’m going to discuss three mental habits that will not only enable you train more effectively but also make life pleasant for both you and your dog.

Answer 10

She is more than likely afraid at nite. U shld try placing her bed in the same room as yours or allowing her to sleep with you. Also you may want to play with her more b4 bedtime to exhaust some of that extra energy she may have.
