Dog Barking Trainer Methods That Will Work For You by Al Bullington
[Jul 21, 2008]
Dog barking trainer methods will let you train your dog to stop excessive barking. All barking isn't bad, it's that uncontrolled excessive barking that just goes on and on. This noise doesn't bother your dog. It bothers everyone around your dog. Excessive barking is on of the most frequent problems mentioned by dog owners.
You know most dogs have no clue that barking is a problem. Barking may be fun for your dog, especially if you do what your dog wants when the racket starts. Your dog may have trained you to open the door when the noise starts. Come see the dog when the barking starts. Talk to him when the barking starts. You get the idea.
The first step to stopping the yapping is to really observe your dog. Has your dog trained you? You must become the dominant partner in this relationship. You must decide what is acceptable barking and what is not. Then you must consistently demand the desired outcome.
Acceptable behavior must be rewarded. Unacceptable behavior, uncontrolled racket, must have immediate negative consequences for your dog. Consistent means every time. Not just when it is convenient but every time.
