Barking dogs - positive training
Some dogs often get out of control as far as their noise levels
are concerned, and their owners realize that some barking dog
training is in order. Of course, you have to understand that
barking is a natural way for the puppy or dog to communicate,
both with you and with other dogs. Here are a few things to do
and things to avoid while training your dog:
Do this as part of a barking dog training program
ü When the dog is locked up in a confined space (such as a dog
crate), whining and barking will be more frequent. Try to avoid
keeping the dog locked up as such if possible and try to educate
him, from puppy stage, that barking for hours won't solve the
problem. ü Dogs are social animals - their barking is a call to
socialization on many occasions. Barking dog training programs
should focus on teaching the dog to deal with isolation and to
eliminate separation anxiety as much as possible. ü There are
other reasons for excessive barking - the dog is hungry,
thirsty, sick, uncomfortable or feels threatened. ü Create the
best conditions for your dog and if he still barks continuously
say NO on a firm voice - do this every time he starts barking
and keeps going for more than half a minute
Here's what barking dog training shouldn't include
· Never give rewards to the dog when baking. · Never let your
dog soil his or
her crate · Never show aggression towards the
dog while he is barking. A positive approach to barking dog
training will take a little longer to achieve success but it
also offers long term results.
Positive dog training
The most frequently asked question regarding positive dog
training sounds something like this: "How do I manage to know
the dog that I am the Alpha leader but also create a strong
emotional bond between the two of us?" The idea behind all
positive dog training methods is that offering praise for a
successful command is more effective than offering punishment
for a poor response to a command. The dog sees you as the leader
of the "pack" because you are the one who provides food and
shelter - you should teach the dog to respect you, and the
protection you offer him, by praising the dog, both with a treat
and a vocal remark, every time he or she responds well to your
commands.
