How to stop dogs from barking?
The barking of a dog can deter the invaders, so many people keep dogs for this purpose. However, many aggressive dogs can cause trouble for normal visitors, such as checking the water meter or visiting relatives and friends. The key points of the barking training of a dog are as follows:
1. The barking of a dog is a normal behavior, and the frequency of a dog's barking mainly depends on the degree of training it receives. Some breeds of dogs are naturally fond of barking, such as some dogs with small size, activeness and high alertness.
2. All puppies should be trained to know that they should not bark unnecessary. When a puppy barks, he should give a verbal warning in time and issue a "hey, quiet" order to it. And give timely praise after he calmed down. When saying “hey”, the voice should be stern and loud, shifting the puppy’s attention from the bark. The tone should be firm, clear and unambiguous when issuing the "quiet" command. This way the puppies will quickly learn to stop barking after hearing the "quiet" command.
3. When the dog stands in front of the door and barks at a visiting stranger, it is completing its job. The owner should affirm it, but when you go to open the door, you should immediately order it to stop barking.
4. Dogs keep digging, biting things and even barking when they are bored. They try to tell their owners in this way that they are just trying to find some fun to pass the time.
5. Dogs like to participate in all activities of their family. When they are neglected, they often bark and vent their dissatisfaction. Such dogs should let them learn to keep quiet and understand that they can enjoy happiness if they are not involved in family activities, and should not be considered a punishment for them. When a dog is neglected because it cannot participate in activities, you can give it a little bit of its favorite food. This way the dog will associate the cold treatment with the food that makes it happy.
6. Related training: When the dog is not suitable for barking, the dog owner must issue a password such as "stop" or "don't bark". If the dog can obey the command and close the mouth, the owner should immediately praise it and let it sit next to him, touching his head and back to indicate a reward. If the dog continues to bark without following the order, you can use appropriate force to pat the tip of the dog's nose to punish it. Generally, after many trainings, the dog can grasp the owner's emotions and commands, and will not bark casually.
7. For some dogs who have not changed their minds after repeated teaching, some punitive measures can be adopted. For example: There is an imported electronic collar that is hung around the dog's neck. When the dog barks, the owner only needs to press the remote control, and the electronic collar will emit a stimulating current, making the dog feel uncomfortable and stop barking. After a few times, conditioned reflexes can be formed.
