Most frequent causes
In most cases, excessive barking is quickly and easily managed. Dogs can unlearn this behavior and learn new, more appropriate behaviors. For example, your dog trainer can teach your dog the “quiet” command. This allows the dog to issue the warning that is innate in him, and allows you to decide when it’s time to stop barking. Once learned, virtually all dogs stop excessive barking on their own, minimizing the amount of time you’ll actually have to use the “quiet” cue.
Dogs that are barking from boredom or frustration can also be helped, providing that they start getting their emotional and exercise needs met. Your dog trainer can show you fast and effective ways to provide these critical components for your pet. A happy dog is content and does not need to bark excessively and this creates happy dog’1 owners.
Insecure dogs are best managed by distraction while they are learning to cope with new things in their environment. These dogs typically require socialization as well and your dog trainer will work with you to create a plan best suited for your insecure dog.
The goal of all dog training is to find peaceable solutions to everyday problems so that pets and their owners live harmoniously.
