How To Stop A Puppy Barking - Some Tips To Help

I have been asked over and over again "how to stop a puppy barking" because having a new puppy which is barking a great deal can be very distressing for a new owner. The trouble is that nobody explained to the new owners just how noisy young puppies can be, and therefore they're not ready for the amount of barking and yelping they make the moment they are in their new home. Sadly for the new owner this is perfectly usual and often puppies give their owners little respite; not even stopping at night.

These barking problems are often brought about by one of the significant phases that puppies go through. That is the fear of being alone. This is not just a fear of being on their own when you leave the house. No, many puppies will become anxious and begin barking and yelping the moment you leave the room, even if it's only for a moment. If you just think for a moment, after they were born they were with their mother and the other puppies from the litter and until they were taken out of this environment by their new owner, they felt secure. So is it little wonder that they become anxious and bark?

Having now found yourself in this situation what are you able to do? Probably you feel that you should dash over to him and comfort him; NO! NO you mustn't do that, however hard it may be to stop yourself, it's essential to hold back. If you don't, you will simply be pandering to your puppy's behavior and end up creating a spoiled dog. So is there a solution? Is the solution to let him to just go on barking? The rest of your family will doubtless not be pleased should you simply permit the barking to carry on.

This seems to be a situation you simply can't solve. At first glance it would seem to be that what everything you do is likely to be wrong. To try to help I have a few suggestions which I think can help you overcome your puppy barking issue.

1. First, try your best to simply pay no attention to your puppy's barking. Although you may be at your wits end, please don't shout at him. It does not solve the problem and will only raise your blood pressure. Shouting at him will, if you resort to that, only achieve one of two results. You will cause him not to wish to come to you because you have either scared him even more, or your shouting will have added to the problem and made him a lot more anxious. Either way the barking and yelping will continue.

2. You can try to use a "teaching lead". A teaching lead is a passive method of conveying your care and guidance through to your puppy when you are together. By making use of this lead your puppy will gain confidence whilst staying near to you as he gets accustomed to his new found independence.

3. Try not to be away from home for too long at a time. Now I know that you would like to stroke and speak sweetly to your puppy especially as you are about to leave it on it's own, and that's easy to understand, but don't, because unfortunately this course of action will be connected with you departing and will create more anxiety for you puppy. On arrival home, precisely the same advice will be relative. Having only just come home avoid the big and noisy welcome. If you don't, and for any kind of reason you happen to be late home, your puppy will have become stressed because it has become familiar with the time that he should expect you to return home.

4. When your puppy is barking you might try using a very simple training aid, for example a water gun to stop your puppy barking instantly. The ideal water gun is a water bottle that is capable of sending out an instant burst of streaming spray.Then simply when your puppy barks, give him a quick spray and the surprise from the} water is likely to cause him to stop. Another aid you could utilize can be a small can filled with some pennies. If when you try to leave, your puppy starts barking, all you have to do is throw the can near it. The can will make a noise that will momentarily divert it's attention and you'll be able to leave
