Its the loudest ear piercing bark ever. She annoys everyone, and i feel like i just yell at her all the time. My dog means the world to be but what can i do to stop the barking? Bark collor? Voice box? I dont want todo anything mean but she had to stop this........HELP!

Answer 1

Can you anticipate the bark? If so, sternly tell her "quiet" before she starts up...and enforce it even if you have to hold her mouth shut. I disagree with those advocating striking the dog, but sometimes a gentle grab of chin hair and a little shake while scolding her might get her attention. Or not. Any way you slice it this is going to be difficult, because it is her basic instinct to guard you.

Answer 2

i am a firm believer in voice discipline. If you make a forceful move towards the dog when he/she barks and tell her no in a demanding voice not really a yelling voice and do it everytime he/she barks it will get the point after a while. Also its a new place to her, she is not comfortable in it right away so she will be kinda jumpy and protect the family and let them know of the noises. When me and my wife moved into our new house our shetland sheepdog barked at everything for about 2 months. It did get annoying but by saying "NO!" in a demanding voice he got the point to only bark when necessary. I hate the shock collars and stuff like that because when its necessary to bark and warn the owners the collar will only shock them and make them be quiet. What if someones a threat coming on your property and the dog has the shock collar on? how will she let you know? just give her time and use the demanding voice when she barks but dont yell at her every time she barks because it might get her kinda scared to bark when its necessary. Just give her time and lovins and let her know everythings OK and she will calm down. Good Luck!

When she starts barking for no reason or for a reason that you don't want her to bark about then just let her know in a stern and very firm voice that that is not right and she shouldn't do that. When she barks because someone is at the door or a stranger that you don't know is near you home then praise her for barking and tell her that she can stop barking and that you have figured out what she was barking out and that you have investigated it and everything is alright.

I'd guess is a stage he's going through as a puppy, although it could develop into a bad problem. Be calm and assertive (stand confident, back straight, etc), let him know you're the dominant figure of the household. Firmly tell him "No" once, or you can do it Cesar Millan style (make a "shh" noice). Squeeze his neck using primarily your thumb and your index and middle finger to simulate a bite from a dominant dog in a pack in the wild. Don't squeeze him so hard you'll hurt him, but don't do it gently either. Firmly squeeze him. Do this every time he overreacts to a guest until he learns to stop. If you want the best advice, consult a professional.

Answer 5

you can buy a device that fits on to your dogs collar each time they bark it omits a high pitched sound that humans cant hear it works after a few blasts of this the dog thinks better of it and gives up ..............

Answer 6

Spray bottle with mostly water and a little vinegar. When she barks, spray her in the face and say "NO!" sharply and sternly.

Answer 7

Kick her everytime she barks. Not hard enough to hurt her, just enough to get the message across. Kicks and scolds.

Answer 8

Your the boss, and you have to tell him that your in control. Try taking him to dog obedience school.
