[Experience Sharing] What should we do when faced with dog barking?

My Hani loves barking very much. Part of the reason is that she is small and timid. She barks out of her own protection. Part of the reason is that she did not correct it in time when she was a child, which leads to excessive barking now. Today, let's share what we should do about the problem of barking dogs.

First, find out when the dog barks.

Owners can first observe when their dogs bark. We don't understand the language of dogs. We don't know why they suddenly start barking. So we need to observe where the "point" of barking is, so that we can effectively solve the problem of barking. For example, dogs bark when they see strangers, or dogs bark alone at home, and so on. For example, Hani barks because she barks when she sees strangers, because she is timid, and when she faces strangers, they all look down on her. For her, this is very oppressive, which makes her extremely uneasy and causes her to bark.

How to deal with the barking of dogs?

Faced with the barking of dogs, owners must stop, not let them go, which will only make them feel that the owner has acquiesced in their barking, barking will become more and more serious over time, Hani loves barking very much, I found this situation, I will find ways to stop it in time, so I will share several ways to stop barking in my family.

Distract attention

The dog's concentration is very strong, we have found out under what circumstances it barks, we can stop barking by attracting attention, for example, when a guest is coming to the house, we can give the dog the teething stick that he usually likes to eat before the guest enters the door, to distract the dog's attention, and the dog who is very greedy will focus on the food. And have no time to care about the arrival of strangers.

Take more out to see the "market"

For example, Hani herself is timid. When she sees strangers calling, we can take her out to play more, see the outside world, and have friendly contact with strangers, which can make her feel relieved. My family likes to go out to travel, usually will take their own home dog to play outside, when Hani saw strangers barking that moment, I will be very serious to it "say no", let it know that this is not allowed. ". And when he behaves well, he will be rewarded. Of course, at the same time, I will let my friends interact with Hani and let her know that strangers are not terrible. Through this method, my Hani has improved significantly outside. She usually barks as soon as she sees a stranger when she eats a meal. Now she can sleep in a chair with peace of mind and has no response to strangers walking around.

What should we do if the "barking" problem is difficult to solve?

Share this, there are a lot of owners will react, I tried my best, but my dog is love to bark, usually quiet at home, but when they meet strangers or something, they love to bark, it's really hard to correct. Here I would like to say to all parents, a radical cure is not a matter of a moment and a half, some dogs bark, from their own fear, is very difficult to change, for example, dogs with extreme fear of strangers, can only be patiently taught by their owners, we can put ourselves in others' shoes, the height of the dog is so little, in their own place of life, a stranger suddenly appeared. Need to look up to see, this is a very stressful thing, many extremely sensitive dogs are very unacceptable, they will feel fear, because of this, their barking is also caused by this, the owner can let the guests at home, squat down and interact with the dog, after squatting down, the dog's pressure will be reduced. At the same time, this behavior can tell the dog, "You can rest assured that I will not hurt you." Only in this way can dog feel at ease. I hope today's sharing will be helpful.
