Dolphin ... you sound like a first time dog owner ... so please read this carefully.

(A) All dogs bark ... it is normal ... dogs bark for a variety of reasons ... to get your attention ... to tell you they are uncomfortable etc ... When dogs bark excessively - the problem usually lies NOT with the dog but with the human owner!

(B) Using a cane to beat them is NOT THE SOLUTION! ... Beating a dog is just going to make it bark even more!

(C) Will seriously suggest the following:

(i) Start training your dogs the basic commands ... like Sit and Stay. With these commands you will be better able to handle the dogs.

(ii) Use the search function and find the threads on "basic training" & "barking" ... read those threads carefully ...

(iii) Go and get a good dog training manual ... read, understand & apply.

Please realise ... when you do not train your dogs ... they WILL NOT understand what you want them to do ... Dogs do not understand language unless you teach and train them ... The first step towards controlling your dogs (including their barking) is to start training ...

There is no tactic and no short cuts.

Cheers

Re: [surchinmy] Help me, my dog always bark..bark...bark...!!! [In reply to] Can't Post

Hello! My friend's dog seem to have a problem. He barks at anything or everything that moves, including postmans, passerby, squirrel, cats etc. He's now around 2+ years old. He doesn't really care about your scoldings, neither threatening to hit him. He also pooed everywhere in the front yard even though my friend had trained him many times to do so... Is there a solution to it? By the way, she got the dog when he's 6 months old. Can he be trained again at this age? Thanks !Wink

Hello! My friend's dog seems to have a behaviour problem. He is 2+ years old. He barks at almost anything or everything that moves, including squirrels, postmen, cats, passerby, dogs...etc. He stopped barking when my friends scold him, but continue to bark right after my friend stop scolding. Scoldings and glarings does not stop him from barking. My friend did not want to put the 'mask' on him because it looks torturing for the dog. Also, the dog pooed everywhere in the front yard even though my friend had toliet-trained it. By the way, she got the dog when he was 6 months old. Is there any solution to this problem? Thanks! Wink

Yes ... the dog can be trained not to bark so much ... But it is also important to realise that barking is natural to a dog, just as speaking is natural to a human being ... and that some breeds tend to bark more.

Therefore training should be geared towards reducing barking or controlling the barking and not to prevent it altogether ...

When a dog barks ... and the owner starts to scold & shout ... to the dog, the owner is just joining in the barking ... and then how to stop the dog from barking? ...

Therefore, if a dog owner wishes to reduce barking ... it is important to understand the various training methods ... and to apply those methods consistently and patiently ...

(a) Active soccialisation, acclimatisation and sometimes reconditioning is useful ... The more a dog is exposed to new and varied conditions and environments ... the less a dog will tend to bark. For example: If the dog is taught that postmen are friendly then the dog will stop barking at the postman.

Use search function and check out the threads under the words ... "socialisation" and "reconditioning".

(b) Training specifically to reduce barking: Using distraction, praise & reward techniques (as oppossed to punishment methods) ... This requires the owner to train the dog how to obey basic commands like Sit & Stay ... and NO or STOP ... When such training is carried out effectively - it becomes possible to use such commands to reduce the incidents of barking ... And as training progresses ... it is even possible using the same techniques to teach Sit & Stay to teach a dog to stop barking on command.

For example: When a dog starts to bark ... instead of shouting, screaming or scolding the dog ... command the dog to sit & stay - then praise & treat ... And in that way, the owner will be using basic training to teach a dog to stop barking ...

It is often the case, a dog who barks incessantly is also usually a dog that has not been trained properly or sufficiently.

Use search function and check out the threads under the words ... "basic training".

Please realise that there is no short cut to training a dog ... and I guess it starts here ... Suggest your friend gets a good dog training book, start reading and training the proper way ...

Cheers
