Hi:

I received several questions and dog lovers all over the world have one burning question in mind. They all want to know some simple and easy steps that work.

So I came up with a 10 step easy to follow plan that will help you train your dog stop barking.



Step 1:

The dog begins to bark, scold him with a firm "No"!
If the dog barks again, take a spray bottle filled up with luke warm water, and using a displeased voice, and repeat "No."

The tone of your voice is very important.
A person with a weak tone of voice and a weak body language will get a very different response than a person that is very assertive and harsh in his or her voic tone.

In any case your dog may repeat barking but do not give up. Just stay calm and repeat your negative-toned "No" from above.

Don't ever slap your dog unless it's part of a fight to break up a struggle with another pet or person.

Some people think that using a rolled up paper to make a loud noise may help your dog to stop barking. This method is rarely effective and often brings negative results.

Scaring your dog is not recommended at all.

Stay away from using newspapers and journals and never slap your dog.


Step 2:

Repeat the "no" command step, combined with the spray bottle if necessary, and give yourself some time -- don't lose your temper or slap your dog. This action will break his desire to make you happy, which is an important part of training your dog.


Step 3:

If your dog stops barking, have him perform a previously learned command (i.e., sit), then give him a calm praise. Do not praise him as soon as barking stops because he may believe you're praising the bad behaviors.

Step 4:

Consider what is making your dog bark? Is a cat taunting him through the window, does he need yard access, or does he just like the sound of his bark?


Step 5:

Check your pet's basic needs: hunger, thirst or elimination. Your dog might be trying to tell you something.


Step 6:

Remove your dog's motivations for barking. For instance, make a dog door for easy outdoor access or close the shades.


Step 7:

Invest in a citronella no barking collar, which is effective and not cruel! if your dog barks, the collar spraysa small amount of citronella, which dogs dislike.


Step 8:

Use positive reinforcement to educate your dog to bark on command; this will also help him learn how to be quieted on command.


Step 9:

"Good" at the exact moment your dog shows good behavior, followed by a reward and plenty of praise.


Step 10:

Consult a board certified veterinary behaviorist or prof. dog trainer for additional help if everything you have been trying fails.


Some Final Recommendation:

Do not panik if your dog will not stop barking! There are other low budget solutions if you can not afford a professional and expensive dog trainer and / or certified veterinary behaviorist to help with your dog's barking problem.

If you are currently experiencing this problem with your dog there is a great alternative solution that will change the relationship between you and your dog foever.
