As the saying goes, people have their own words, animals have their own ways of communication, and their communication methods are generally physical movements and voice expressions. Similarly, the same is true for dogs to express themselves. Dog owners should have a deep understanding of it, but the barking of dogs, especially in the eyes of the owner, is also very annoying to the owner while interfering with others.
There are many kinds of dog barking, but any sound will interfere with people and will make people uncomfortable. In order to effectively solve this problem, the masters might as well try the following methods.
1. Ignoring it
This is indeed the hardest thing to do, but it works better than anything else. Remember, your dog needs your attention. So, even if you are correcting it, you still give it what it wants. The best way to get rid of the yelling over demand is to ignore it. Once you have a few seconds of quiet time, give the dog what it wants - praise, snacks, toys, attention, and more. This will start instilling the concept that the dog wants to be quiet.
But be aware that it can get worse before it is quiet. Dogs have something called "Extended Blast" that they will work harder, longer, louder, and more before stopping trying a certain behavior. So, it may become louder or yell longer before stopping to bark. Just like a baby calling her mother, she kept shouting before they finally gave up. If you are at home, or may be disturbing someone else’s place, buy a snack or drink for your neighbor or someone else before you start training it, and explain to them what you want to do.
2. Give it a "job"
When it starts barking, you can give it a "job" such as teaching it to sit quietly. If it wants something, it should not bark at you but sit quietly. This is a "default" behavior. For example, when my dog wants to eat, it will automatically sit down next to me and wait politely. Have you learned it? Give it a "job" instead of keeping it barking.
3. Request for technology products
Most dogs may start barking due to separation anxiety. This situation is actually very normal. And as long as they can feel the presence of their master, there is a feeling of being with them. Then the dog barking can be greatly improved. A camera with a speaker can solve this problem. When a dog barks, we can remotely give instructions to the dog, so that it sits down and stays calm like it is usually trained.
4. Prevent and avoid it
If your puppy has not started to show this, you can try to let it continue and wait, this will definitely happen. You still have a chance to avoid the above content, just put in more effort on the first time. Usually, the puppy starts to bark when he starts playing with you. For example, when you hold the ball, the dog thinks you don't throw it fast enough, so they yell. Most owners would think at this time, "Wow, it's so cute, it's so excited." Then they threw the ball out. So you know why they bark. Or they want you to play with them, so they come over and sniff you with their noses. But you ignore them, and then they start whining or barking, and you surrender and play with them. Some owners even tease the dog with something, "Do you want it? Do you want it?" After a few repetitions, your smart dog learns to bark at you when it wants something.
As long as your dog barks at you, the game will stop. Don't throw balls, don't give them the attention they deserve. If it barks at another dog, try to let them play and move them away from the other dog for a few seconds. When they are quiet, the game can continue. This teaches your dog that quiet is the way to “request” something.
Dogs are habitual thinking animals. As long as you have a certain degree of patience with it and then train it scientifically, in time, some of its habits will meet our requirements. At that time, your troubles will decrease and your fun will naturally increase.
