EXCESSIVE BARKING & WHINING |
|
|
Puppies communicate vocally, visually and chemically. A bark can be an expression of distress, curiosity, play or threat. Puppies
quickly learn ways to gain our attention, so try not to respond every time he barks.
- One positive way of reducing barking is to train your puppy to bark and be quiet on command. Teach him to 'speak' with the expectation of a food reward and use a "quiet" command when he becomes silent. Always praise him when he responds correctly.
- Clicker training is an effective, fun way to train your dog to do this. The Multi Clicker is ideal because you can vary the volume of the click and comes with a comprehensive training guide.
