Why Does My Dog Bark? How Can I Stop My Dog From Barking?
Dog owners often wonder why does my dog bark all the time. They may also ask themselves how they can stop them from barking. Let's examine why dogs bark in the first place.
In general, dogs will most commonly bark for the following reasons:
Warning/Alert: It is natural for a dog to bark when someone is at the door or when strangers pass the house. Many will bark if they sense some type of threat, proclaiming "I'm here protecting this place so don't mess with me." The sound of this bark is usually sharp, loud and authoritative. Honing this instinct with training can help protect your home and family.
Anxiety: Anxious barking often seems to be an act of self-soothing for many dogs. It is often high-pitched and sometimes accompanied by whining. This type of barking is common for dogs with separation anxiety.
Playfulness/Excitement: This type of barking is especially common in puppies and young dogs. Many dogs will bark while playing with people or other dogs. Even the sound of the bark tends to sound upbeat and possibly musical. Some dogs will bark excitedly when they know they are about to go for a walk or car ride.
Attention seeking: When you hear this bark, you will usually know just what it means. This bark says "Hey! Hey! Look! Here I am!" Other dogs may whine and bark together to get attention, almost like the tone of a whining child.
Boredom: The bark of a bored dog sounds like a dog that barks just to hear her own voice. Though it tends to be annoying, it is also somewhat sad. Bored dogs often bark to release excess energy, and sometimes bark out of loneliness. They usually need an activity and perhaps even a companion.
Responding to Other Dogs: This is probably a familiar scenario - one dog down the street starts barking, and one by one, the rest of your block joins in. It's like a cacophonous rendition of Row Your Boat.
Prevent and Stop Excessive Barking by visiting Dogs Behavior Solutions
Once you determine the cause of your dog's excessive barking, you can begin to control the behavior. The best way to prevent excessive barking in the first place is to try to remove any potential sources of the behavior. You also want to be certain not to inadvertently encourage the barking. Finally, give her better things to do besides barking.
1) Make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise so there is not as much pent-up energy to burn by barking.
2) Avoid leaving a lonely dog alone for long periods if possible.
3) Never comfort, pet, hug or feed your dog when she is barking for attention or out of anxiety - that would be rewarding the behavior, thus encouraging it.
4) Shouting at your dog to stop barking does not help. It may actually cause her to bark even more.
5) Avoid punishments like shock collars. They are not only painful and unkind - many dogs will learn to test them and eventually work around them.
6) Try to get her attention with a clap or whistle. Once she is quiet, redirect her attention to something productive and rewarding - like a toy or treat.
7) After getting your dog's attention, practice basic commands, like sit and down in order to shift her focus.
DO NOT let your dog bark constantly outside, regardless of the reason. You can hardly train her to stop barking by yelling at her across the yard. In addition, it is one of the fastest ways to turn neighbors into enemies and send an invitation to your local police.
Remember you are the master and in control of your dogs behavior. However, you may need guidance on how to go about changing their overall issues. We can help get you started today.
