First and foremost, we need to define excessive barking. Dogs bark. It’s a simple and natural fact. When strangers arrive at your door step, Fluffy will most likely voice their arrival out to you. This is acceptable. In fact, you should praise Fluffy for being such a good guard dog. However, if Fluffy’s yodeling continues non stop til your visitors had long gone home, that is excessive. Really excessive. Barking in the dead of the night is deemed excessive as well. And frequent barking for no apparent reason is excessive as well.

Before you start the training, please find out the cause of Fluffy’s excessive barking. Once the cause is determined, you are halfway to success.

Now we recommend some basic training tips for your dog. Remember, for each different cause, a different type of training catering to that cause will be more effective than others. The basic training tips given below are very general.

Method 1 - Fill a spray bottle with water. Whenever Fluffy gets too vocal, spray him with some water. Most likely, the surprise element will make him stop. Praise generously as soon as there is silence.

Method 2 - Fill an empty can with coins or pebbles. When Fluffy barks too much, shake the can vigorously. This should silence Fluffy instantaneously. Praise. Take note that dogs get used to the sound quickly, so this method may not work after a while.

Method 3 - Teaching Fluffy to bark on command can be your solution too. Create a scenario whereby you are sure Fluffy will bark his head off. As soon as he starts, praise him. You can keep saying "Speak" as Fluffy yodels away. As soon as he stops, say "Stop"” and praise him generously again. If you are patient and consistent, Fluffy will get the hang of it soon enough. With that, you should be able to start and stop Fluffy’s barking with the appropriate commands.

Rather than teaching him to not bark completley, teach him how to do it only at strangers or odd people that come in randomly from other doors(Burglars). Just use a shock collar for a month or two and after then come in through a side door, dressed up. He might be able to tell the difference, but if not he's been trained good!

attempt muzzling her each and every time you're taking her out, if she tries to bark yank her lead and tell her no. yet another one is to get a huge (i think of it may be an Evian) bottle fill it with faucet water and squirt her each and every time she does it, take some treats alongside and if she does not advantages her if she does soak her. for sure that's not functional once you're interior the vehicle as your seats gets soaked, will paintings nonetheless if she is going it whilst she out for a walk nonetheless. The final would properly be costly yet you may get a devise which emits a intense pitched sound whilst she barks, in basic terms canine can hear it by no potential tried it and have heard mixed effects for this product, pets at domicile are a stable place to objective, have additionally seen them interior the betterware and Kleenezy catalogues, I even have supplied hyperlinks below to all 3. i'd look that the final decision would be your in basic terms functional decision i'm hoping this helps.

start giving your dog more attention when he is not barking. - when he starts barking put him in his cage for a few minutes and dont look at him. if you dont have a kennel for him (you should) - block him off from the rest of the family for a few minutes- he will start to associate barking with being alone, and not like that. - I would not suggest shock collars- would you put one on you? or your child if they were doing something you did not like? shock collars are hurtful.

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Learn more http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?qxZG

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

At your pet supply store, get one of those electronic trainers that emits a high-pitched correctional sound (you can't hear it) when they bark. Say a verbal signal, like, "Duke! No barking," and then push the button on your trainer. In a few days all you'll have to do is say "Duke! No barking."
