How do you stop a dog from barking constantly? |
getrd2go asked:
I have a small dog that all he does is bark….it’s driving me crazy and it gets my big dog barking too!! My lab doesn’t bark unless someone is here….the little one barks just to hear himself, so it gets the big one going.
He is crate trained already and will bark even while in there.

shock collar
This may sound terrible, but they sell shock collars or collars that will spray a lemon juice type of liquid in the dog’s face everytime it barks.
Shock collar would do the little guy wonders.
You can get a bark collar. Or a very good effective harmless way for some dogs is to just fill up a ****** bottle and whenever he/she barks spray him/her. It usuall works and after you spray him/her tell it NO!Hope this helps!!!!!
cage her for a while in a cage so she calms down
dont do anything that u think can make the dog feel upset n rather try to understand what is the reason behind his constantly barking may be he needs ur attention or it can be anything else too .
gud luck take care
dogs bark if they are bored, to attract attention or due to separation anxiety.the best thing to do is keep him occuipied. catching frisbee,fetching balls etc.never heed him while he is barking,act like you don’t care.don’t give him attention or treats while he is barking.but when he stops barking give him treats and praise him for his behaviour.
hope this helps.
Give it a little zap with a shock collar…
Consider surgical debarking - it is much more humane than yelling at or hitting the dog for this natural behavior. Many small dogs like Min Pins, Yorkies, Chihuahuas and Jack Russells can be the yappiest dogs on the planet. Make sure he’s getting plenty of exercise to burn off all of that obnoxious energy - two thirty minute runs a day.
If you’re willing to do some work and are determined to train him, start by keeping him on a leash tied to your belt all the time. Teach him to sit and stay - at first when it’s quiet, then add distractions. Make him sit before he gets fed or petted. Take control.
If the doorbell rings, he should be allowed to bark for about fifteen seconds or as long as it takes you to get to the door. Pick a new command - a word that he’s not already immune to - like STOP! or ENOUGH! Every single bark after that command must be corrected.
Don’t hold him in your arms - that makes him feel like you’ve got his back and you approve. Put his little **** on the ground like a real dog. Make him sit and stay at the door - spinning around like a nut is not okay either. Small dogs are fragile, so rather than a leash tug, try a spray bottle of water in his face or a ****** of lemon juice in his mouth - find something he just hates. Use a correction word like “ATT!” and repeat your quiet command “STOP!” Ask you friends to come over and help you. They’ll probably be delighted to help - they probably **** it as much as you do. Practice for at least fifteen minutes straight, every day for a month or two. Even the most determined yapper will eventually give up. Invite people over more often, so you can practice teaching him how to behave.
If he barks in the crate, slap the top with the palm of your hand of shake the crate.
If he’s barking at people because he’s afraid, then get him out and socialize him with as many people as you can, so he will see that they are not a threat. Put him on a leash and start inviting a LOT more people to your home. The more he gets used to people coming in, the better he’ll be. Show him that you are secure and in control and he won’t feel so worried. Don’t worry about ruining him as a watchdog - he’ll still defend your property from anyone trying to break in.
If he’s barking inside when he sees people passing, then I’d cover your windows with opaque film so he can’t look out. If he’s barking outside, put up a solid fence instead of chain link so he can’t see as much.
If he’s barking at everyone he sees while you’re out walking, the you need to do some obedience training and get control of him.
