Perhaps nothing is more annoying than a dog that barks constantly, sometimes for no apparent reason. Stop barking problem can be challenging, but if you take the right approach it can be done and your relationship with your dog will be strengthened in this process. Many people seem to believe that the only good dog is a quiet dog. They just really want their dog to bark if there is an intruder climbing in a window or object is on fire. The truth is that the barking of a dog's primary means of communication. healthy, happy dog will sometimes bark. It is up to us to figure out what they are saying and to set limits on their "communication ".
So what would they be saying? There are many possible reasons for the barking. Some breeds were bred to bark. Guard dogs like German shepherds and rottweilers, for example. Hunting dogs such as Beagles and Bloodhounds are bred in the "bay" when the deal. Other breeds such as Chihuahuas seem to bark and put on a great show to compensate for its small size.
In addition to specific special breed, there are other reasons that any dog can bark. Sometimes they are worried because they sense something is wrong or they see someone or something close to their "territory". If your dog is barking for any of these reasons, it's not really realistic for you to try them stop Total: after all, he is a dog, and it is the nature of dogs to bark at certain times in certain situations. . It may also be that they are bored, lonely, hungry or craving attention.

...But, of course, sometimes it is unreasonable or excessive barking. Some dogs use their voices as a way to manipulate their owners! For example, suppose you are lying on the couch reading the paper. Your dog awoke from his sleep and decides its time to play. She takes her toy, comes over, and falls in your face. You can ignore it and try to keep reading. After a few seconds, she nudges your hand with her wet nose and barks once, loudly. You keep reading so she barks again, loudly, and when it is still not responding she barks repeatedly and will not stop. Finally you give up trying to relax, put down your newspaper and take her outside to play fetch. It is important that you spend quality time playing with your dog and gives her attention, but it should be on your terms. Dog ownership implies mutual respect between you and the dog, but it is not about equality. It's about you as a boss and a dog as a pet. Dogs are happiest and best behaved when they know they're in charge. For a dog to be calm and well adjusted they should follow their lead. In this scenario, the dog did not respect you. She was not asking to play, it is disturbing to you what he wanted. And you're giving it only confirms that the behavior! You taught her that if she barks long enough she will get what he wants. So, how do you stop this manipulation? Simply ignore it. Easier said than done, right? I do not mean just passively ignore them, where you just do not pay attention and go on with what you are doing.
...must communicate to her with your posture and body language that her behavior is unacceptable. When she starts yapping, literally turn their backs on her. Stand up, turn away from it and prevent your eyes. Do not look at her or even talk to her. Initially, it will confuse her, because this tactic has always worked so well in the past. It will probably start barking louder! The important thing here is consistency. Do not give up after 15 minutes and give her what she wants. It will only teach her that she should be very persistent. "OK, it takes 15 minutes of continuous barking to get my way. It's OK, I have a dog, I've got nothing better to do. " If you stand her country she will eventually realize that barking is a way to get you to do what she wants.
...But what about other situations where this is not your thing dog violence to get their way? Would you like to communicate with them that they want to stop and be quiet, the most effective thing you can do is to use your hands. No, I said to hit your dog! But I am suggesting a perfectly humane and pain-free way of telling them that what you need right now is peace and tranquility. When he barks, give him a few seconds to get out of his system (that is kinder and more effective, to give him a brief opportunity to express herself before asking him to be quiet). If, after a few seconds, he settles on his own, to reach over and gently but firmly tighten the muzzle in his hand. He will try to pull away or shake off, so you can grab his collar on the other side to give you more control. This method works for two reasons. First, it effectively stops barking, and second, establishing his authority. You are showing him through direct physical action that you are kind but firm leader who will not put up with his unacceptable behavior. Continue to hold your nose and collar until he stopped trying to rid: only when he calms down and stops wriggling does it mean that he accepted his authority. When he was still holding on to one or two more seconds, then release and praise him
