How many times have you wondered what steps you could take to stop your dogs excessive barking? Have you and your dog participated in any home training sessions together? Perhaps it is time to seriously consider investing in obedience training for your dog.
The time spent in these training classes will go a long way in solving not only nuisance barking,but any other possible problems as well.
While the goal is to teach your dog to stop barking on command,it is important for you to remember the difference between excessive and normal barking.
In this article we will explore humane options for for how to get a barking dog problem under control.
Your local/online pet store should carry a variety of products made especially to help train dogs to stop constant barking.
One very popular training product is the citronella spray collar,which emits a brief citronella spray into the dogs face when barking.
Another popular solution to stop dogs from barking at night are the ultrasonic noise makers.
The devices are placed in the home or yard so when the dog barks,the devices emit an ultrasonic (meaning humans cannot hear it) noise to "distract" the barking dog.
Another advantage of these systems is that they may sometimes be used to get neighbors barking dogs under control.
If your dog is very stubborn and simply refuses to stop their constant barking then you may be forced to to resort to an anti-bark shock collar.
While these may seem inhumane,there are 2 things you must remember while making your decision to use them: 1) A dog's constant barking can become a LEGAL ISSUE (need I say more?);and 2) Today's modern shock collars are safer and emit much more of a "static tingle" than an AC outlet jolt.
They are safe enough to test on yourself, so there is no need to feel guilty for using them!
