How to handle Dog Barking
Excessive barking can become a real issue for pet owners. I had a dog once that barked at anything and everything. When I let her play in the backyard, she would run up and down he back and bark at the grass, the shed, the fence and so on and so on. Dogs bark to communicate with us and with other dogs. Unfortunately, when dogs bark too much, it may disrupt your sleep or bother the neighbors. Well I know this is the case for some of you out there so I have some helpful tips that can help you stop or control the barking.
- First you can try a citronella collar; a citronella spray bark collar is often viewed as a humane alternative to painful shock collars. The gentle spray bark collar has a small receptor designed to pick up and respond to the barking sound of the dog by releasing a spray of citronella in front of the dog’s snout. Through reflex conditioning, your dog learns to associate barking with the annoying squirt of citronella and barking becomes less “rewarding” to most dogs.
