Is your four-legged friend constantly barking?
Please note: There are many possible explanations for your dog's behavior.
The most common reasons are: the desire to protect the owner or territory, stress, health problems (perhaps the dog constantly barks because of pain), the desire to “control” a person.
How to wean your pet from constant barking? You need to take several important steps.
Show the animal to the vet
First, the owner must take the dog to a veterinary clinic.
Perhaps it is due to a disease, the symptoms of which force the four-legged friend to constantly “scream”.
If the disease is detected, the specialist will prescribe treatment.
The vet said, "Your dog is healthy"? Be glad: your dog's constant barking is not due to pain. But then you need to look for the real reason.
Start ignoring the barking
It is possible that the dog noticed the following pattern: “As soon as he starts barking, the owner immediately runs up or stops doing one thing or another.”
As a result, barking becomes a “tool of control” for the dog over the person.
Start ignoring the sounds your pet makes. And perhaps the animal will become quieter, as it will understand the pointlessness of barking.
Training
Start teaching your four-legged friend various commands, including “Speak!” and “Quiet!”
Discipline will make your pet more obedient and adequate.
If you can't do it, then ask a dog trainer for help!
Calm down
It is possible that the reason for frequent barking is the pet's fearfulness.
It is possible that the dog begins to get “stressed” by every loud sound.
Calm your pet down in such situations. Feeling support from the owner, the pet will probably become quieter.
