Overindulgent Barking
Is your dog acting like an overactive alarm clock and barking incessantly? Dogs who bark loudly and frequently are usually indicating boredom, anxiety, or a need for attention. If they bark when left alone, it could be due to separation anxiety. Offering them physical activity, companionship, and mental stimulation helps lessen their suffering.
When a dog screams for attention, ignore it entirely and don’t respond negatively to it. You may reunite with Fido by being persistent and providing positive reinforcement, as well as by teaching him alternative cues like carrying a toy that permit polite “conversations.” A happy, active dog has less need to bark nonstop. Ssshhhh, what noise is that? The lovely quiet of a dog that doesn’t bark!
