Okay, you want to know 100% effective methods to stop dog barking. I mean completely put a stop to that excessive dog barking that has been troubling you and your neighbors as well. Well listen up because I’m about to share with you 2 tactics that would work like a charm on your barking dog. However, before doing so, I just need you to promise me two things, okay?1. Please be consistent and exercise a little patience when employing the methods to stop dog barking outlined below. Without consistency, you’ll never be able to train your dog effectively. 2.   Don’t punish your dog. Punishment will make your dog less incline to perform good behavior. .    Now, with that out of the way, kindly read the following methods to stop dog barking. Understand the tactics and begin to apply them consistently on your beloved dog for several days to several weeks – only then will you be able to put a complete stop to that annoying excessive dog barking. Ok, now listen closely!The Bark upon Request Tactic.

This sounds a little weird, but I find that one of the best methods to stop dog barking is by training your dog to bark whenever YOU WANT him to bark. You can achieve this by giving him something that triggers his barking behavior. You might want to dangle a toy or food in front of your dog so that he would respond by barking. When your dog barks, immediately praise him and keep saying ‘speak’ over and over again. Do this many times and eventually, your dog would register the word ‘speak’ as a cue for him to bark. Now that you can tell him to bark upon request, you should also teach him to keep quiet instantly upon your command. This is how it’s done. When your dog barks, tell him to keep ‘quiet’. Repeat this word many times while giving your dog a little treat. After several days you can tell him to ‘bark’ and then repeat the word ‘quiet’. If he doesn’t pipe down, you don’t give him the treat. Perform this simple exercise often and pretty soon your dog will associate the word ‘quiet’ with a tasty treat. Stimulation of the Mind TacticMental stimulation is vital for solving many kinds of behavior issues including excessive dog barking. Be sure to conduct daily walks and exercise to keep your dog mentally stimulated. Teach him to do useful things for you like getting your letter from the mailbox or get a soda from the fridge. This way, he’ll be less incline to bark because his mind is fully stimulated with positive actions. This I believe is one of the most effective methods to stop dog barking and works extremely well in the long run.
