Have a barker. My Lil’Girl barks at anyone crossing in front of my house, across the street from my house, cars driving into neighbors yard. Tried many avenues….people keep telling me to do the collar that zaps when they bark, just cannot bring myself to do that. There must be a more humane way to control her attitude. |

I do not like the collars that zap, and I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to use one either. One of my friends mother had to move into an assisted living residence, and had her dog with her. He also barked at everything, which was totally unacceptable. They tried everything to stop him. They finally got a collar that sprayed citronella in his face when he barked (this doesn’t hurt the dog) and it worked for them. |

barking is their way to communicate.. bark now and then reminds you that your dog is still very much a dog.. find the reason why your dog barks, it may be out of fear, boredom or frustration,, see the ways on how to prevent problem barking.. |

I had that problem with one of my dogs. I had a professional come work with her and there were two options. |

You have received several good suggestions here, but don’t discount the collars that zap. There is going to be no permanent injury and teaching a dog not to bark is very important. No one likes a constantly barking dog, especially the neighbors. Use whatever method that works on your dog. Believe me, you are going to be sick of the barking if you allow it to continue will not be able to enjoy your pet as you should. |

Hi, it is in every dog’s nature to bark. knowing the reasons for excessive barking is the first step towards a solution. The link below has a detailed discussion on the subject. For an overview, here are some suggestions to curtail his behavior: 1. Block your dog’s access to doors and windows while he is indoors so he cannot see outside. 2. Play music or the TV to mask noises that trigger barking. 3. Change your doorbell ring so as to disassociate him from the ring he is used to accompanying with barking. 4. Call him inside from the yard at times he is prone to barking, such as when school lets out and kids are noisily making their way home. |

Hi, Generally, there are eight reasons why dogs bark: * Territorial or defensive barking * Excitement, or happiness at seeing you * Play and exercise * To get your attention or to signal you (i.e. “I have to go potty!”) * Aggravation over not being able to attain something (such as your pork chop). * Social barking in response to other dogs * Separation anxiety and trepidation * Compulsive behavior Check out this link to train your dog to shush: Hope this one helps. |

Of course. I think that kind of behavior is normal with most of breeds. It actually depends on the amount and quality of training that she gets. Know this type of breed more. Just go to the links below and find out so many things about her. Good luck! http://dogtime.com/dog-breeds/profiles |

Train your dog to bark on command. With bark command you establish partial temporal control over the behavior. Once barking is under stimulus control, it becomes possible to instruct your dog to bark at times when it may not feel like barking, which greatly facilitates teaching the more important “Shush” command. Check this link for more information. |
