Barking is a completely natural behavior for a dog, and if you don’t break your puppy of this habit as a puppy, be prepared for him to grow into an adult dog that will also bark endlessly.
Many dog owners in such situations try to ignore the dog or shout at it from time to time.
Both are wrong - instead, you should teach your pet how to behave properly.
The phrase, or rather the command “stop barking” will help you with this.
If your pet sees a stranger or barks for some other reason, let him bark 2-3 times, then praise him for his alertness and say “stop barking,” holding his favorite treat in front of his nose.
You'll see: the barking will stop immediately, since you can't make sounds and sniff a treat at the same time.
After a few seconds, hand the award to its recipient.
Gradually increase the time between the dog becoming silent and the reward.
But in a situation where a puppy whines, you need to act differently.
Don't rush to him as soon as you hear plaintive sounds - he will consider this a reward for his crying and as a result, such behavior will become firmly entrenched.
To stop your baby from whining, ignore him, and when he stops, start praising him.
As a result, he will be able to understand that crying will not solve the problem.
