A dog should bark, but a well-behaved dog will not bark at every passerby or its four-legged brother without reason.
In order to avoid getting into trouble and quarreling with your neighbors on the landing, you need to work on this and take into account several important points.
Why do dogs bark
In fact, there are plenty of reasons for this in animals. Much depends on the breed. Otherwise, the root of the problem should be sought here.
The dog might not like the smell it smelled. It might be alarmed by the sounds, or the animal might just be bored in the apartment locked up. Or maybe the dog is simply greeting its owner with a joyful bark.
Therefore, we also need to differentiate between emotions – anxiety, joy, warning, discomfort, etc.
The loudest breeds
In this case, some of it depends on age, but mostly it's genes that are at work.
Beagles, fox terriers and other hunting breeds may be a concern. Also terriers (Yorkshire in particular), miniature schnauzers, Maltese lapdogs, spitz, poodles.
The top dogs will probably include the most zealous and restless Chihuahuas and Jack Russell Terriers.
The Silent Ones
Those who love silence should pay attention to the Basenji, Greyhound, Akita Inu and Shiba Inu.
How to wean
All these moments must be taken into account, because there is simply no universal technique. It is important to consider the behavior and genetic predisposition, health condition and irritants. However, no less depends on the owner's reaction.
The problem can be solved with the help of physical exercise or by diversifying your walking route.
Sometimes the problem can be solved after a visit to the veterinarian, who can determine health problems that are the cause of unprovoked barking. It is possible that the dog needs a special diet.
You also need to remember about the rest regime. The dog should sleep 14-18 hours a day.
The owner is required to learn to control the pet's behavior and emotional state. It is important to monitor the dog's mood during a walk and to suppress emotional excitement, to constantly engage the dog and select interesting activities for it.
In this case, the dog simply won’t have time to get bored.
