Barking is not unusual with dogs.They do that when they are excited or happy, when they are uncomfortable,hungry or when there are people coming. Try to observe your dog. If she barks when you come home then she is happy to see you. Try to give some of your attention to her for this will calm her . If she barks when there are visitors its natural. But when she does it for a long time reprimand her. she needs to know that she should stop. Do that to the other dogs too. It helps to talk to them for sometimes they crave for attention. If problem persists consult your vet.

You can buy anti bark collars.I understand that you can get some of that release a citrus smell when the dog barks.Some have a high pitched sound that only dogs can hear.Some give small electric shocks! Worth trying a collar of some kind on the one that starts the barking.My friend has just got one from Crufts that conditions the dog somehow like Pavlovs dogs.Made by Roger Mugford.

at pet supply stores they sell collars that shock the dog when they bark, they are safe and justgive them a little zap when they bark and they will stop barking after a while because they will not want to get shocked anymore. they are a little exspensive but if your willing and really want your dog to stop barking its an effective way.

She is taking charge and establishing dominance not just over the other two dogs, but over you too. You need to teach her that YOU are the top dog in the pack. Book her in to obedience training, or if she's young, puppy pre-school. It's hard work but it will pay off. Otherwise she will become out of control and you will end up having to get rid of her. Good luck!

a spray bottle by the door or do not look at them, do not talk to them, completely ignore them turn ur back to them and find something to do while they are doing this behavior while your back is still to them. no eye contact at all. like they dont exist. when u scold them while their doing it thats called negative attention, they may not get oh how sweet, but theyre get ur attention. eventually theyll learn the best way to get your attention is to be quieter and patient....if u give them ur attention for this behavior now itll only get worse and louder

well barking is for dogs as meow is for cats. its natural. but if u really want to stop your dog from barking permanently, there is a surgical procedure for that. i guess there are two techniques. ask your veterinarian if you want to submit your dog for that

Give her a pat. Stroke her at the throat area and calm her down by saying sth like "OK, OK, calm down.. It's OK... Everything's fine..." in the nicest tone that u can give her. She's just scared that u're gonna leave her behind again.
If it still doesnt work, bring them out for a walk/run. After that, pamper them with food. (not too much though, don't over-feed them)

You reward them when they dont bark
You punish thme when they do bark

Hi, Im sure everyone is going to recommend the shock collar but Im against it after watching that guy do it to himself.
Good Luck! I hope this helped.
