figure out what hes trying to say and definatley start training him

Answer 2

1) Is the dog inside or outside ?
2) If the dog is outside does he have a doghouse?
3) Is the weather where you live warm or cold ?
4) The dog could be warning you of someone or something that's not suppose to be in your residence.
5) Dogs are very protective and will continue to bark until you and your friends check out what the dog is barking about.
6) The dog could be hungry or thirtsy?
7)Do you walk your dog 45 minutes in the morning its been recognized that a well walked dog is a quiet and happy dog.
Remember your dog is your best friend find out what's wrong ,the dog may just need some attention.

Answer 3

Training is the best solution to this. Also socialization will help. Something is bothering your dog, or perhaps they just want attention and thing that barking will get it. Sometimes a dog will take negative attention over no attention. The can full of pennies is a good idea, but only hand in hand with training. Otherwise you may end up with a nervous, scared, neurotic and potentially mean little dog. Good luck!

Answer 4

Wow! You have done all those things in an hour? Hmmmm. Sheesh, it's probably a cat or skunk in the area. Maybe your dog got stung by a bee. They bark when they are in pain too. Look your dog over, head to toe and see if he has anything stuck in him, bee, thorn, check his ears, just check him out. Good luck.

Answer 5

Have you ever thought of training??? He's barking for a reason and that's usually boredom. However, you've said nothing about age, breed or even the circumstances, sono one can give you much help. Tell him no, when he's quiet, even for a short time, give lots and lots of praise. Owning and training a dog requires time, it doesn't just happen by itself!

Answer 6

This is a "For Your Pet's Sake" answer brought to you by Bullseye 444.

Answer: I understand your pain and concern.
Dogs wear their emotions on their sleeve. The good news is they come with a major benefit of a solution...they are pack animals!
What does that mean to you? Well, they naturally have instincts to be in a "pack" of dogs led by a "pack leader". This pack leader in the wild would make all the decisions for the "pack" and thus essentially giving the "pack" peace of mind and stability. Like human families, really. If there is more than one ruler in the home there is complete chaos and instability, tension, anxiety, anger, frustration, depression, dissolutionment, alienation...you get the picture. However, when a family works "together" and understands the need for ONE leader(the one who makes the final decisions and makes them happen...or deligates the actions/outcome) it is amazing what kind of children the family produces...well-mannered, behaved, confident, self-assured, well-liked, individuals that exude leadership skills (without having to force it upon anyone, it just comes naturally). And speaking of "coming natural", your dog is doing what it does "naturally". You, as the pack leader, need to show him or her what is acceptable and not acceptable within your pack. You establish this thru getting to know your breed of dog as well as knowing your dogs personality "personally" thru paying attention to it's temperment and tendencies alone, with other people(kids/adults) and especially around other animals, etc. In fact, without knowing it, you could actually be the cause of your dogs behavior. It could literally be "acting out", because it is confused based on your lack of understanding of how to lead your animal properly. So, it essentially may be reverting back to it's "instincts". We highly suggest professional help, FIRST, with all cases. We have witnessed time and time again, the positive effects proper training of pets (with their owners) has made in the lives of everyone involved...you, your pet and everyone else.
We suggest for starters to watch a tv program on Cable called, "The Dog Whisperer"(Animal Planet). The most effective animal training we have ever witnessed takes place in a matter of a few minutes right in front of your eyes. Tape the shows(vcr/dvd/teevo). Go online and see if you can ask the guy who hosts the show questions like the one you are asking here.
Once you see the show, you will understand my support of this one of a kind learning experience! Don't have cable, go online and search for the show, "The Dog Whisperer". Don't have internet? Go to your local public library and ask about "dog training". Make sure you commit "upfront" and "followthru" quickly. Please keep in mind, you can 'teach" your dog to obey you without having to get stressed or raising your voice in anger. That is the good news. The tuff part is it will take effort and work on your part to not only learn to teach your dog "new" tricks, but yourself as well:) Be encouraged however, there is hope. Try one or all of these options and you will see the results you need. In the meantime, do what you can to keep your emotions low-key. Eventually with these ideas, you will actually learn to effectively "lead" your pet without even saying a word or showing any emotion> Sounds impossible now, but with time and working with your dog using the ideas given above you will become "the pack leader" and your "nightmare" of a dog will be the "dream pet" you thought you got to begin with...

Answer 7

Your dog may simply be trying to let you know he'd like some play and interaction time with you. Give him a good hour of vigorous play time and I bet he'll sleep like a baby for a couple of hours afterwards!

Answer 8

Little Timmy has fallen into a well and Lassie has spent the last hour trying to tell you to go save him.

Answer 9

Have you tried giving him something to chew on? You can also try filling a clean spray bottle with water and spraying it at him. ( I don't beleive in teaching animals violence). I have 6 dogs and we teach them to go quiet by telling them 'sshh' and as soon as they get quiet give them a treat. You can gently clamp their mouths shut as you say this to help them understand and give them the treat then.

Answer 10

If you have a kong put some peanut butter in it.. will concentrate on getting it out will tire the mouth out too:)
Most likely just wants some attetion cuz your around..
