A puppy's bark is sharp and powerful. Try not to make the mistake of giving your puppy any attention when they bark, unless it is for medical reasons. While your dog is quiet, engage your dog in play or practice a trick.
When Your Puppy Is Quiet, Give Him Affirmation With A “Yes” Or “Good,” And Then Either Follow Up With A Few Basic Commands Or Play With Him.
Teaching your pooch to relax when left alone is a vital step in stopping them from barking when you’re not around. You should also avoid inadvertently encouraging the barking and give your dog better things to do. A water bottle that sends a quick burst of streaming spray is a perfect idea.
If Your Dog Barks At Specific Triggers, Gradually Get Your Dog Accustomed To Whatever Is Causing Them To Bark.
Desensitize your dog to the stimulus. When you go to leave her side and she starts barking, simply throw that can in her area. If you handle it right, it will only last for a short period, but if you make a few common mistakes, it can be hard to stop your pup from barking.
Correcting Your Puppy For Barking At Any Time Other Than When You Give Him Permission Will Simply Teach Him That It Pays Off To Bark If His Efforts Go Unnoticed.
Feed them lots of good treats for maintaining eye contact. Shouting “no” or “stop” when your puppy is barking can actually make him bark more, so only talk to him when he’s being quiet. Stop rewarding their barking whenever you hear your puppy bark, it may be natural to want to run over to them to give them immediate attention.
After 3 Or 4 Barks, Calmly Say Quiet In A Firm Voice.
A sleepy pup is a quiet pup. When your dog stops barking, praise and reward your dog. When a person or an animal comes into an area your dog considers their territory.
