Follow these training ideas perfectpaws.com/bark.htmlBarking and Walkies! The first step in obtaining peace and quiet is to realize that lots of barking is caused by the dog being lonely, bored, frustrated or frightened. These are all situations that you can help to alleviate.

A well-exercised, happy dog is more likely to sleep all day while you are not home. Spend time playing with, training and exercising your dog. Obedience training is great mental exercise.

Thinking is a tiring activity for dogs, as it is for humans. Most dogs really enjoy a rapid paced, exciting "game" of Come here, sit, heel, sit, heel, down, stay . .. Come here for hugs, a massage, a celebration of praise and treats.

Don't allow training to be a boring, tedious routine. If your dog lives in the back yard most of the time, she probably needs "social exercise. " She needs walks around the neighborhood, so she can investigate all the sounds and smells that tantalize her while she is in the yard.

Bring her into the house when you are home. She needs to feel that she is part of your family. Having a large yard is not equal to having a well exercised dog.

You may see your dog dashing madly around your yard, but he is not exercising. He is doing the doggy equivalent of pacing, fidgeting, or other human forms of nervous activity. Provide your dog with fun things with which to occupy himself, such as a digging pit or special chew toys.

Dogs are social animals. They need friends and companionship. Take your dog to the same dog park daily or weekly and let her make doggy friends.

Dogs romping around and playing together tire rapidly and will sleep happily while recovering from the good, hardy play session. Nuisance BarkingUntil you have re-trained your dog about her barking habits, she should be confined to a place where she will cause the least disturbance. Closing the drapes will help muffle the noise for the neighbors.

In addition, confining the dog to the back of the house (away from the street) will keep disturbances to a minimum. Leave a radio playing to mask noises from the street. You may also want to have disconnect switches on the telephone and doorbell if these set off a barking spree.

"Stop Barking"It's no wonder people have barking problems with their dogs. Most dogs have no clue as to whether barking is something good or something bad. Sometimes when the dog barks, he is ignored (owner in a jolly mood).

Other times, the dog is encouraged (owner sees suspicious stranger outside the house). And yet other times, the dog is yelled at (owner has a headache). Humans are consistently inconsistent.

In order to help your dog know your rules, teach him what they are. Here is a good rule to start with: Barking is OK until the dog is told to "Stop Barking. " Think of "Stop Barking" as an obedience command rather that simply an unpredictable reprimand.

Each time your dog barks, after two or three woofs, praise her for sounding the alarm. Then tell her, "Stop Barking. " Simultaneously, waggle an especially tasty food treat in front of her nose.

Most dogs instantly stop barking because they can't sniff and lick the treat while barking. During this quiet time praise her continuously - - "Good girl, stop barking, what a good quiet dog you are, good dog . .

." After 3 seconds of no barking, let her have the treat. The next time she barks, require her to stop barking for 5 seconds before she gets the treat.

Each time she is told to stop barking and succeeds, she will be rewarded. If she barks even one little wooflet after you've given the command, scold her immediately. Timing is everything.

As training proceeds, the required period of silence is increased gradually; at first "Stop Barking" means: No barking for the next 3 seconds, then 5 seconds, then 10 seconds and so on. Within a single training session, you can teach your dog to stop barking for up to 1 or 2 minutes. This is major progress, because whatever set off her barking in the first place is history, and she is likely to be quiet until the next disturbance.

The Consequences of BarkingWhen your dog stays quiet for the required period of time after you've asked her to please, "Stop Barking," she is rewarded. When she makes a mistake, your unsuspecting poochie's very next wooflet should be met with a cataclysmic, earthshaking 120 decibel "STOP BARKING! " Most dogs are so totally shocked and amazed by this horrendous outburst that they will stare at you in disbelief (and silence).

If this outburst makes your dog more excited, then you might try an ice-cold I-mean-business tone of voice. Sometimes a splash of water in the face will do the trick. You must find something that will instantly make your dog stop barking.

As soon as your dog stops barking, even for just a tenth of a second, you must immediately and instantly reward her. After enough repetitions your dog will learn the meaning of the command, "Stop Barking," and you will no longer need your training props (water, treats, etc. )Substituting the Barking HabitIf your dog's excessive barking has already become a habit, don't expect the barking to get under control overnight. It takes weeks of repetition to replace an old habit with a new one.

If you keep up with these procedures, you will see a new pattern of barking develop. Instead of barking relentlessly at the insignificant, your dog will be barking appropriately and for a reasonable length of time. It is important that you maintain this new good habit through practice and praise or your dog may revive his old annoying barking habits again.

http://www.doggroups.com/dog-training/item/11top Your Dog BarkingMost dog owners have something in common, how to control barking. This article outlines steps to assist dog owners in correcting excessive barking. Barking at nightThe simple answer is to ignore the dog.By barking, it is training you to respond.

You might have a few noisy nights but you will be showing it that barking is not productive. Certainly do not respond by shouting or scolding. If you do so the dog will only know that its barking has been productive by making you bark as well.

Barking, excessiveThe reason for excessive barking in one word is FEAR, and it is frightened because it has not been socialized. It is nervous of every sound it hears and barks in a futile attempt to send the perceived threat away. Sometimes a dog which constantly whines, cries, barks, or is destructive, suffers from skin problems brought about by scratching and licking themselves because of the stress of being left.

Generally this is not a problem with dogs which have been socialized through training classes at an early age. The solution is socialzation through obedience classes and home management. Barking when the owner is outThis is a big problem caused by bad owners.

The dog is a pack animal and if, as a member of the family pack, it is given the freedom of the home by being allowed to rest on the furniture and sleep in bedrooms, then it will suffer a form of stress when the pack goes off to work because it expects to go with the pack. When people leave home they should not look, touch or talk to the dog for about 10 minutes beforehand. The same applies when coming home: ignore, no talking, no patting, no looking, nothing.

This way, the dog understands that its barking has not brought the owner back. If it has been barking while you were away and is rewarded by your attention when you come back, it then thinks it was its barking that brought you back to the house. A dog’s bark is said to be worse than its bite.

It certainly is for the neighbors of a constantly barking dog left alone for too long, unsocialized and with uncaring owners. Hopefully no readers would permit their dogs to be such a community nuisance. Barking at the postmanThe postman or any kind of regular deliveryman is regarded by your dog as an intruder and so it barks and is immediately rewarded by the postman going away.

It thinks it has frightened off the intruder and done its duty. Talk to your postman and try to get him to cooperate. Tell him you will leave a tit-bit outside the door and ask him to push it through the letter-box before the letters.

The tit-bit will be a better reward for your dog than chasing the postman away. Barking when the telephone ringsIf you shout (bark) at your dog when it barks at the telephone ringing, you are encouraging it to bark more.It feels there is danger if you react. Get a friend to phone you at several agreed times.

When the phone rings do not move and do not speak. After your friend has done this a few times your dog will no longer bark when the telephone rings. Barking from balconiesWhen a dog barks from a balcony at someone passing by, it is simply asserting its dominance, firstly by looking down on humans and secondly by successfully telling them to shove off.

As far as the dog is concerned, it is objecting to someone invading its territory. And even more pleasing, its barking is rewarded by the passerby walking away. Answer: ban the dog from the balcony.

Barking deterrentAbistop is a French invention resulting from chemosensory research into the dog barking problem.It is attached to the dog´s collar and automatically emits a small spray of citronella whenever the dog barks. Brief exposure to cintronella immediately distracts dogs but does not cause them distress and even smells pleasant to humans. It is effective but expensive at £90.

A cheaper method might be a quick squirt of water from a plant spray bottle or putting a bit of food in front of the dog’s nose. It cannot eat and bark at the same time. Sources: http://perfectpaws.com/bark.html .

Dog classes... Sounds obvious, but sign up for a dog training class; among other things, the dog learns to ignore other dogs as you walk past them--at least that was one of the sessions held when I attended (with my dog, of course :) best of luck...

Since he’s the size of a small cat, no one is going to feel threatened. If you still want him to be quiet, for the sake of decorum, you can use training and desensitization. These things take time and patience.

First, take him somewhere where there are plenty of dogs and it is okay for him to interact with them, preferably an off-leash dog park. (I don't know if there is one near you.) Let him get to know plenty of other dogs so that meeting a new dog on the street isn't a freak-out big deal. When he is meeting other dogs, make the situation as relaxing as possible, without a bunch of corrections on the leash.

Praise him for good behavior, and maintain a calm attitude yourself. While he is getting to know other dogs, take breaks from this socialization to practice the basic commands so that he knows he still has to obey you, the alpha dog, even when there are big distractions. Also, this will probably get better over time.

Your voice and manner I have a min pin dog with the same problem. The dog is just alerting you that there is another dog around. I fixed this problem by saying in a real calm voice, "OK, I know, I see them, that's OK".

It really doesn't matter what you say, but the inflection and tone of your voice is the main thing. Make your voice as reassuring as possible. Convey through your voice and manner that it's "OK and it's safe".

Do this for every dog you pass. If your dog doesn't respond the first time, try a firm "NO". After a few days of that, let your dog slowly go up to a dog and let them smell each other.

Don't do that for every dog in the beginning, but gradually introduce your dog to a different dog each day for a few days, then two dogs. Before long, when she sees a dog, it's going to be no big whoop. Be persistent.

Your dog should do anything you want her to do. Don't let her have control. Good luck..

1 awarulz, regarding your answer "Follow these training ideas":i bring "muffin" to work with me everyday, he gets to play with everyone in the office (all my colleagues adore him), and he is great among humans, in fact, he is so used to being around humans that I suspect he actually sees himself as one... he is not at all an out-of-control dog, I did attend puppy training class with him when he was a few months old (he's now 5 and a half)... he is actually quite well trained (if I may humbly say so), very obedient, does all the tricks...sits, down, wait, come, go, kiss kiss .... etc. The only problem is, he gets agressive and starts to bark when he meets his own kind, going to dog parks isn't an option here in Hong Kong because there isn't any, the city isn't exactly as pets-friendly as I wish it was. I was told that white pekingneses are particularly dominant in nature, is this true? I am having a really difficult time correcting this unwanted behavior.
