kick him when he does that. After a few times he’ll get the hint.
Remember Pavlov’s Dog?
there has to be some type of noise or saying u say to your dog to stop from doing something bad. for ex. wenever my dog barks wen she hears a noise, i just say loudly “hey!! thats a no-no!” lol and she basically gets the point. wen u show your dog that its doing something wrong, at first itll b hard to change but eventually, your dog should break the habit.
well to stop a dog from barking at the door, u simply just need to often smack him on the nose (dog’s weak spot). of course the dog might still bark but u just got to keep on smacking him on the nose and he will learn not to bark at the front door anymore.
use a spray bottle and put water in it. every time your dog barks spray him or her.
More to the point ,why would you want him NOT to bark?He’s trying to do his job….warning you.And it’s always a good deterrent to casual thieves.Now if the problem is that the dog won’t STOP barking ,then you just need to say “NO” loudly and firmly.Look up obedience training on the web . In fact “no ” is probably the best word you can use to train dogs or cats.
Do you have someone living with you? Well if you do then I have the right answer… I think.
Put your dog on a leash and hold him seven or so feet away from the door. Have the other person walk outside and ring the doorbell. If your dog barks or tries to bark, turn him/her around, make eye contact, and sternly say “NO”. Every time he/she doesn’t bark, reward him/her with a treat and praise and affection. If you do this 5 to 10 minutes every day for a week, you could see a slight to HUGE improvement. If you barely see any, repeat the process or buy a muzzle then repeat the process this time with a muzzle. It should help signal the dog that he can’t bark. Hopefully it should help.
Instructions
STEP 1: Try to determine why your dog barks’eliminating the cause will increase your chances of success.
STEP 2: Have your dog’s favorite treat within reach.
STEP 3: Praise the dog for barking once he starts by saying ‘Good job’ and then ‘What’s the matter?’
STEP 4: Tell the dog, ‘Be quiet.’
STEP 5: Wave the treat in front of your dog’s nose. Most dogs will instantly quiet down, because they will be concentrating on smelling and attempting to lick the treat, rather than barking. STEP 6: Keep praising the dog. Tell the dog that he is a good dog for being quiet.
STEP 7: Let the dog have the treat after 3 seconds of quiet time.
STEP 8: Wave another treat in front of your dog if he starts to bark again. This time, try not to let your dog have the treat until 5 seconds of quiet time have elapsed. Your dog should learn that after each successful quiet-time interval, he will be rewarded.
STEP 9: Scold your dog every time he makes a mistake. If the dog barks, even for just an instant, as you’re waving the treat in front of his nose, say ‘Be quiet,’ in a louder voice. Then reward the dog immediately after he stops barking.
STEP 10: Increase the quiet-time intervals by 3 seconds each time: from 3 seconds to 6 seconds to 9 seconds and so on. It is possible to continue to a couple of minutes of quiet time during the first session, which would mean significant progress in curbing your dog’s barking habit.
Tips & Warnings
Some breeds tend to bark more than others. Check with other owners to find out if your dog’s barking habits are normal.
It takes time to get your dog to break the habit of excessive barking. Remain calm and patient, and eventually he will bark only when it’s appropriate.
If you have trouble getting your dog to stop barking, consult a veterinarian trained in behavioral problems.
Your dog is doing it’s job. He’s alerting his pack that someone new is there. Why would you want to stop that? My dogs bark even when someone comes down the basement stairs and we’re down there. We simply tell her that she’s a good girl and then we say “enough Bailey” and she stops.
Reward your dog about 30 seconds after he stops barking, but allow him to alert you. It’s in his nature and is his job. Why take that away from him?
GET A SODA CAN AND PUT PENNIES IN IT . THEN SEAL THE TOP OF WHEN THE DOG BARKS SHAKE THE CAN.(THEY DONT LIKE IT). BUT BEFORE YOU SHAKE THE CAN, SAY SOMETHING LIKE “IMM GETTING THE CAN” OR JUST CAN.THEN PRETTY SOON ALL YOU SAY IS “IMM GETTING THE CAN”AND THE DOG WILL BE QUIET.OR HOPFULLY JUST STOP BARKING. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
