Not to mention the neighbours too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When barking is too much and too often, it can become a problem. We certainly don\u2019t want that. Getting to the bottom of the barking first is the best way to know how to fix it. So here\u2019s why your dog might bark and a few ways to help curb it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reasons a dog may bark<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Frustration<\/strong> \u2013 Is their meal delayed? Are they desperate to say hi to another person or dog?

Or perhaps they know the signs it\u2019s time for a training session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Alerting you \u2013<\/strong> When the doorbell or phone rings, some dogs just like to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Fear <\/strong>\u2013 Perhaps a new dog has come too close, or something startled them in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Loneliness \u2013<\/strong> Some dogs don\u2019t cope well on their own, and noises outside can add to their anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Grumpiness \u2013<\/strong> Loud noises can disturb your dog and they\u2019re not shy to tell you about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Attention seeking<\/strong> \u2013 Is it playtime and you hadn\u2019t realised, or are you giving another dog too much attention?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Defending their territory\/Aggression<\/strong> \u2013 Some dogs will bark to warn off potential intruders or space invaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain medical problems can also cause excessive barking. So if your dog has suddenly started barking more often, it\u2019s worth discussing with your vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related blog:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/10\/national-stress-awareness-day-how-can-i-tell-if-my-dog-is-suffering-from-anxiety\/\"> 11 signs of anxiety in dogs and how to treat it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to stop dog barking at night<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, you may have accidentally encouraged your dog\u2019s night time barking. If you\u2019ve ever got up to soothe your dog during the night, they quickly learn that barking brings you running. A lightbulb moment for your dog &#8211; barking is followed by a reward. Don\u2019t worry though, here\u2019s how to put a stop to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Don\u2019t go to them. <\/strong>We know it\u2019s tough, but try to ignore it and don\u2019t leave your bed while they\u2019re barking or whining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Don\u2019t respond. <\/strong>Don\u2019t call out to soothe your dog or tell them to be quiet. Any kind of attention is a reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Stick with it. <\/strong>If you comfort your dog once, they\u2019ll know that sometimes barking gets them what they want.

They\u2019re just discovering their voice \u2013 and well, barking is good fun. So they need to learn from you what\u2019s appropriate, and what\u2019s not. Train your puppy good dog manners by teaching the \u2018quiet\u2019 command early on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Say \u2018quiet\u2019<\/strong> as your puppy is barking<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Hold a treat<\/strong> in front of their nose<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Praise your puppy<\/strong> when they stop barking to smell the treat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Give your puppy <\/strong>the treat<strong> <\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Repeat, <\/strong>repeat, repeat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to stop dog barking at other dogs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog barks or lunges at other dogs whether through a window or out walking, it can be embarrassing. We get that. It\u2019s what dog trainers of the world call \u2018reactivity.\u2019 It can also be caused by fear or over-excitement. Depending on the cause there are a few methods you can try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Keep them away <\/strong>from the window so they can\u2019t see other dogs outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Keep your distance. <\/strong>Be aware of your surroundings and start avoiding other dogs. Cross the street or turn around if you need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Distract and desensitize your dog<\/strong> to their triggers by feeding treats whenever other dogs are around. This shows your dog good things happen when they\u2019re calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still having problems, contact a dog behaviourist to help with your dog\u2019s barking. A behaviourist will work with you one on one to help you uncover the cause, and manage the issue with training.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most dogs love a good bark \u2013 it\u2019s their way of communicating with us.
