Does your dog or even worse, your neighbor’s dog bark all the stinkin time?
If so it’s pretty easy to reach your whit’s end rather quickly.
After a while you really couldn’t care less why the little nimrod’s doing it, you just want to make the barking stop. Does that sound about right to you?
Trust me, I know what you’re going through all too well.
How would I know these feelings of frustration so intimately?
Simple, my wife got a tiny, little Poodle and the little bugger absolutely would not stay quiet for 10 minutes. I swear, if an ant walked across the road he would carry on for 20 minutes non stop. I was just about off my rocker with the little loudspeaker.
Now, please don’t get me wrong, I love animals and I especially love dogs (cat’s I could live without). I don’t know about you personally, but I like well behaved dogs.
So, not really wanting to incur my wife’s wrath for suggesting Fido be relocated several States away just to make the barking stop, I started researching to really find a solution or at least find some other options and find them fast.
Here are a few of the things to stop the dog from barking that I discovered:
All the books said “You need to find out why in the world is the dog is barking in the first place”. And I’m thinkin yeah, right, sure! I don’t know, nor do I care why the little dim bulb’s carrying on, just make him stop.
But I do have to agree, there is proper barking and bad barking. So when training your dog it is important to teach your dog the difference between nuisance barking and good barking (like if it’s 2 am and I’m snoring keep quiet, but if you see a guy with a mask a gun and a sack, Bark!).
As it turns out there is actually a lot of different kinds of barking, there’s reactive, territorial, separation anxiety, fear and warning barking. And without becoming a Sigmund Freud for Animal Planet tm I truthfully couldn’t tell you which was which.
I did find a few things that actually worked really well. What the heck it only took 5 hours of reading & video’s and it cost more than the dog did to buy all the books to find one that worked.
But here’s one of the tips that it said that worked pretty good. Every time the dog barks give it a piece of bacon with 1/2 a Prozac stuck into it (ok, ok, so that was my solution and not exactly what the book said, but the dog liked it!) Just kidding!
No really, what the book said was give the dog another outlet. And because it might truly take me an hour and a half to watch the Television show 60 Minutes, I’m thinking, alternate outlet, WHAT! they want me to plug the little begger into a wall socket?
Well, turns out I was wrong, they meant every time he starts yapping give him a toy and shake it around for a second so he gets the idea to play with it. This way when the dog starts feeling anxiety, nervousness or separation it will look for the toy and find comfort in it.
There are a ton more tips that I got at => http://stopdogbark.tripleyourinfo.com/
But I sure hope this one helps, it worked for me even better than the Prozac and at over a buck a pill that stuff gets kinda pricey after a bit.
