Attention-Seeking Barking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDogs also bark when they want something. This can be a treat, to play, to go outside, or even for your attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of my dogs, an Aussie mix named Millie, would bark excessively when she wanted to play, potty, or get my attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I worked through the issue so that she barks (one bark) when she has to potty. If she has to go immediately, she may bark a few times, which is fine with me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It beats a cacophony of barking that used to occur. And, after all, I don\u2019t expect my dogs not to bark at all. They\u2019re living beings with feelings and needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I just want to stop excessive<\/em> barking.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBarking Because of Separation Anxiety or Compulsive Barking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nSome dogs who have separation anxiety bark when left alone. The barking is usually excessive and may even go on for hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s usually accompanied by some other behaviors, depending how severe the separation anxiety is. It may be associated with behavior seeking to escape when left alone, such as digging at windows or door frames. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some dogs who have separation anxiety inappropriately defecate or urinate because of stress and anxiety. And some pace or circle and may whine too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Helping a dog with separation anxiety often requires professional help from a behaviorist or positive reinforcement trainer who has experience with the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some dogs may bark because of a compulsion. It\u2019s similar to obsessive-compulsion behavior in people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dogs with this condition often just enjoy the sound of their own voice. It\u2019s fun for them to bark. And the more that they bark, the more reinforcing it is to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medical Problems<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nSome dogs bark because of medical issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pain from an injury or wound such as a bee sting or arthritis can cause a dog to bark excessively. Older pets may suffer from a form of senility which can cause such barking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My Dog Barks At Everything That Passes By, What Do I Do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are many ways you can try to prevent or deal with excessive barking. How you should approach the problem depends on why the dog\u2019s engaging in that behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may need a combination of methods to conquer the excessive barking. Of course, a dog may bark sometimes. It\u2019s just the extreme nature of the noise that should be curtailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try to stop the excessive barking behavior as soon as you can. The longer it goes on, the longer it may take to make it just normal barking. Also, excessive barking gives dogs an adrenaline rush that rewards his barking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course it takes a lot of patience and consistency\u2013and time\u2013to teach a dog not to bark excessively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Physical Exercise<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA dog who has too much energy is likely to engage in many undesirable behaviors. These include jumping on people, chewing inappropriate items, and excessive barking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So make sure that your dog has a sufficient amount of physical exercise for his age, breed, and health. Although it\u2019s usually not the only thing that you have to do to prevent excessive barking, it\u2019s usually an important part of the puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walks and play can really improve the behavior of some dogs to take the edge off excessive energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mental Exercise<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nGiving a dog mental stimulation is as important as providing physical exercise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forms of canine enrichment help all dogs\u2013especially those who are bored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These may include activity toys, treat-dispensing toys, and lick mats. You can even make up your own enrichment activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a dog isn\u2019t destructive, you can hide toys or treats and teach him to find them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can make your own puzzle toy with a muffin pan by putting a treat in each divider, covering each one with an appropriately-sized ball like a tennis ball made for dogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sky\u2019s the limit to engage your dog in mind-expanding activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manage the Environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf a dog is barking because he sees something out of a window, block the view by curtains, shades, or blinds\u2013whatever cover is safe for the dog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or if a sound is bothering your dog, close the window or otherwise block the sound by putting on the TV or using a white-noise machine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or put your dog in another part of your house where he\u2019s not subjected to his visual or noise triggers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your dog is overly stimulated and barks excessively at certain objects like trucks or living creatures, try not to pass by areas that have them or other similar triggers until you\u2019ve counter-conditioned and desensitized your dog to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another way to manage the environment is to not leave your dog in the yard alone if he barks excessively in that setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have Someone Take Care of Your Dog When You\u2019re Away<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf your dog suffers from separation anxiety, needs more exercise, or is bored, you can have someone stay with your dog while you work through the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This may be for the entire time or just to take him out for a play session or walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes putting your dog in a doggie daycare can help dogs with separation anxiety. It can also alleviate boredom and exercise the dog\u2019s body and mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do Special Activities With Your Dog<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOf course, all dogs should have some type of obedience training. It not only communicates what behaviors we desire but it also furthers our bond with our dogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can do basic commands like pay attention, come, sit, down, stay, and leave it. You can even get fancier and teach your prodigy tricks like spin and dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may also engage in other activities like agility, rally, and canine nosework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participating in the above activities will help tire your dog out in addition to relieving boredom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teach Incompatible Behaviors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTeach your dog to go to a mat or dog bed and sit\/stay and down\/stay when there.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This helps a dog not to be over-stimulated when he hears something like a knock at the door or doorbell. This shows dogs how to have impulse control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In teaching this, you first teach the dog to go to the mat by luring him onto it. If he doesn\u2019t know sit\/stay or down\/stay, teach them separately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If he knows them, use them after teaching him to go to the mat as a separate command. Work at a lower level of stimulation after he can down\/stay or sit\/stay on the mat or bed for at least a few minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start with you or a helper just touching the doorknob. Once he can go to the mat or bed and stay there without barking, add higher levels of stimulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turn the doorknob, open the door, knock at the inside of the door, have someone knock on the door from outside, have someone come in from outside, have someone ring the doorbell, then, finally, have the person come in after ringing the doorbell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, your dog should be successful at the prior level before moving on to a higher level of stimulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also teach him other incompatible behaviors like a sit\/down\/sit, a trick, targeting, or other behaviors instead of barking. The sky\u2019s the limit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another thing you can do when a dog becomes over-stimulated by a sight or noise is throwing down about five kibble or very small treats, scattered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Give the cue \u201cfind it\u201d immediately prior to tossing the treats down. You have to do this BEFORE the dog barks. It redirects him to something else and rewards him for being quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a dog is over-stimulated by visitors, you can throw about five or so treats scattered before<\/em> the dog barks, telling him to \u201cfind it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\nAlternatively, you can teach your dog to play tug when someone comes in the door. Of course, your dog should know the following commands to do this: take it, tug, and give. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These exercises mean that great things happen when someone comes in the door. They should also prevent excessive barking. You can even add a second command such as sit\/stay or go to a bed\/mat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, with any work with someone coming in a door, you don\u2019t want to do these exercises if your dog is aggressive in that setting. Instead, get professional help from a behaviorist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Desensitize the Dog to the Triggering Stimulus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDo some set-ups with the triggering stimulus. This needs to be done at a distance at which your dog isn\u2019t triggered (that is, doesn\u2019t bark or otherwise react such as by spinning or lunging). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, have a non-reactive dog that your dog would bark at if too close at a distance where your dog doesn\u2019t react.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pro-Trainer Tip: Always have very high-value treats ready. These are usually meat, cheese, or fish-type treats. Vary the type of treats so that your dog doesn\u2019t become bored. And treats should be cut or broken into the size of a pea.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nGive him a stream of high-value treats when the dog is in view and your dog is calm and nonreactive. This may be 20 feet or it may be 50 feet. It all depends on your individual dog\u2019s reaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The treats stop when the other dog goes out of sight. Or you could take your dog out of sight. Reward only when the other dog is in view and your dog isn\u2019t reactive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just do this for a short time like a minute per time period, with up to three repetitions at any session. You may start at just 20 seconds where your dog views the other dog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The point is you don\u2019t want your dog to become stressed and reactive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do the same type of exercise with other triggers that prompt your dog to bark. Over time, depending on your dog\u2019s reaction, you can get closer in small increments to the triggering stimulus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then do the same desensitization exercise. This may take weeks or months, depending on your dog\u2019s reaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t rush the process. If at any time your dog has a set-back, go back to a step at which he was successful. Then, move ahead again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teach a Quiet Command<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAnother way to successfully work with excessive barking is to teach your dog to be quiet on your cue. One way to teach this is to teach a speak command when he barks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, the split second that he\u2019s quiet, give him a treat and praise him (Yes! Good Quiet). Eventually, extend the time that he\u2019s quiet before rewarding him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This method works for some dogs, but not for others. If your dog barks again just to get the treat for being quiet, I would use a different method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This method worked well for my shelties. I taught them a \u201cspeak\u201d cue, then a \u201cquiet\u201d one. When I say \u201cquiet\u201d now, I give verbal praise but give only random treats as reinforcement because they are reliable in their behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ignore the Barking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis can be effective for attention-seekers. You can turn away or even get up and leave the area for a short time such as 30 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This means no attention at all. Don\u2019t even say anything when you depart or look at him. Then, return. Do this three times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it doesn\u2019t work, apply other methods before the dog barks, such as providing more physical and mental exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Socialize Your Dog<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf he\u2019s barking because something is new and exciting, get him used to new environments that he\u2019ll need to be in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure that he\u2019s well-exercised first and use some incompatible behaviors and desensitization as discussed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get Professional Behavioral Help<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve tried to work through the issue of your dog\u2019s reactivity unsuccessfully, don\u2019t despair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get appropriate help from a canine behaviorist or a positive reinforcement dog trainer familiar and successful with the reason why your dog barks excessively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get Veterinary Help<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf there\u2019s any doubt that your dog suffers from a physical condition\u2013or other reasons he barks don\u2019t apply\u2013get veterinary help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What <\/strong>NOT <\/em><\/strong>To Do: Don\u2019t Try This at Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPositive training methods should be used when dealing with excessive barking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yelling at a dog to stop barking isn\u2019t effective. In fact, the dog may think that you\u2019re joining in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using spray bottles with water or shake cans that rattle when shaken also aren\u2019t effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, they may even make some dogs get more reactive. <\/em>And a shake can can make a sound-sensitive dog more fearful of sudden sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOf course, don\u2019t use physical corrections such as hitting or jerking the dog\u2019s leash. In addition to being inhumane, they aren\u2019t effective in the long-run and can even lead to unwanted behaviors such as aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t use bark collars. They don\u2019t deal with the reason why the dog\u2019s barking. And they don\u2019t teach the dog the correct behavior you desire instead of the barking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A shock collar is inhumane and raises a dog\u2019s stress level. And they may even lead to many unwanted behaviors, such as aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even collars that spray citronella or a similar substance when a dog barks often aren\u2019t effective. They also don\u2019t teach the alternate behavior that you desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De-barking is a controversial subject. Even when done correctly by a veterinarian, the dog can still make a muffled bark sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
More importantly, it doesn\u2019t reduce the dog\u2019s stress level or deal correctly with the root cause of why he\u2019s barking excessively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are better, more humane options such as those discussed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhy does my dog bark at nothing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Dogs bark for many reasons, such as noises, people, other dogs, or other stressors or exciting events or creatures. Discovering what your dog\u2019s triggers are will help you determine how to deal with the excessive barking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do I stop my dog who constantly barks from vocalizing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Most dogs bark occasionally. When a dog barks excessively, you need to discover his triggers. They may be a noise, a sight, or the presence of a person or dog, for example. There are many steps you can take to help him bark appropriately. This includes physical and mental exercise and managing his environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should I use a shock collar to stop my dog from barking?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n No! This is inhumane and may even create new problems, such as aggression. There are better, humane, more effective ways to stop your dog from barking excessively.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nDogs bark as a form of communication. They bark excessively<\/em> for many reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIn order to appropriately deal with it, it\u2019s important to discover its cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many different ways to work through the issue, depending on why you pup\u2019s barking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have patience (and a sense of humor sometimes) and be consistent. It will pay off in the long run. And get appropriate help if you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
