Dogs at Christmas
Two of the four dogs
We have just completed our family Christmas and I am so proud of our dogs! There were 10 people, including three children, staying at my house, and giving the four dogs lots of attention! I did not have to use my bark collars other than the first day, and we hardly heard a peep from them from that time on! The kids played with them, walked them on leashes, and gave them all lots of love, and the dogs were definitely on their best behavior. Now everyone has gone home and the dogs seem lost without all of the attention! I hope all of you had as much fun with your dogs over the holidays!

Evaluating the reason why your pet dog is a nuisance barker is essential in implementing proper bark control treatment. One thing to consider is the dog’s home environment. There are cases where a dog’s environment inadvertently triggers the pet’s barking problem. It is said that a dog picks up on his owner’s behavior. A nervous owner begets a nervous dog. Are you too worried Spot might run away that you almost never let him out? Is your schedule too tight that a walk in the park is an appointment to be made a week ahead? To solve dog barking problems, half of the solution is a commitment of time and effort from you, the owner.
Treatment is still possible if there is no change of environment as long as the stimulus to the problem barking is identified. The next step is to desensitize your pet by teaching your dog a series of command responses that can be done anytime the dog shows signs of reverting. To desensitize means to make someone less sensitive or less fearful. The commands given to the pet dog motivates him to take it easy. Days of training and gradual introduction to stimuli would result in the dog’s totally ignoring it. During this, the owner shows the dog that his owner is in charge of the situation.
Will your dog still bark up a storm when left alone at home? Yes, more often than not, dogs still do after desensitization. Since the dog is dependent on the commands given by you, your presence is needed to quiet him down. There is the need to counter-condition your pet into limiting his ruckus without you physically there. To counter-condition your pet calls for lots of imagination. We suggest that before you leave you order your dog to sit. Close the door and walk a block away, then go back. When you hear and see your dog behaving, reward him with a treat. If at first it fails, do not reprimand your pet. Not rewarding him and ignoring him will teach your pet barking out loud goes unrewarded. Try this several times a day, until your pet gets it right.
Since not all dogs are simple to train, you may consider using a bark collar to aid you. These collars come in three types: Shock Collars, UltraSonic Bark Collars and the Citronella Bark Collars.

Excessive Barking?
Dogs are man’s best friend but what do you do if your best friend barks most of the day? First thing you have to understand is that your dog is an animal subject to instincts and not inclined to feel the embarrassment it causes during one of its barking fits. Before you write off your dog as a nuisance barker, it would be advisable to find out what causes it.
A dog would normally bark from time to time, just as a couple of kids playing can cause noise fit for a platoon. Since barking is a way for your dog to communicate, these are the norms for dog barking.
Territorial (possessive)barking/ Protective barking
Your dog is ruled by its instincts referring mostly to their senses, specifically scent and sound. A change of the usual sound and smell of its environment stirs it bark excessively. The scent of a person may be familiar at day time, but when a whiff of this person’s scent comes at night your dog instinctively barks intruder! This barking is accompanied by your dog’s tail tensed upward and its ears up and tilting forward.
Fear and Phobia
Excessive barking is a symptom of frustration and loneliness. This usually is true in puppies who aren’t used to not being “babied” anymore (change in attention received) and with working breeds that feel satisfaction being on the go or having a job to do. Nuisance barking also occurs in a change of environment for a normal adult dog. The lack of interaction with you or your dog is longing for a playmate.
Separation Anxiety
Your dog sees you as family. The mere jiggle of your car keys signals departure and likely to put your dog into a barking fit. A change in environment, like a new house or a new schedule of the family that leaves your pet alone most of the day brings about the excessive barking and whinnying.
In pain or symptoms of sickness
Just like a sick person, dogs (especially the old ones) are cranky and tend to bark more often when experiencing intense pain or discomfort. It is best to check your dog’s overall health before writing him off as an excessive barker.
Once understood, you can find the best way to help your pet tone down on it’s barking. There are Bark Control Training Classes you can enroll your dog in. And if Spot flunks Bark Control Training, there is also the Dog Bark Collar. It comes in different sizes designed to suit your dog.

Quieting Barking Dogs
While some dogs just need a little guidance from their owners to stop an incessant barking habit, others have developed that habit over a significant amount of time and require intervention. There are numerous methods to help a dog to stop barking, but the method that requires the least intervention from the owner is utilizing no bark collars. With a no bark collar, the dog receives a small shock from the collar when barking. The shock is insignificant and doesn’t cause real harm, but it does provide the dog with a reminder that will discourage them from barking.
Pair a no bark collar with a diligent owner who will scold or reward the dog based on whether barking occurs, and the dog will soon learn to stop barking. The best part about bark collars is that most of the time the dog doesn’t need to use it for all that long before learning not to bark. Once the no bark collar has done the trick, the dog will be well-behaved and the owner won’t have to worry about quieting them through more invasive practices. No bark collars work well on dogs of all ages, and are also safe for puppies.
