The initial step is to determine if the behaviour is warranted. Nine times out of ten, it's excessive and can be controlled. If you decide that your dog's barking can and should be controlled, ask yourself the questions identified in this article. This is very important because you certainly want to avoid punishing your dog unnecessarily. Obviously, if the dog barking is to alert you to some danger, whether real or merely a figment of your dog's imagination, you'll want to find out exactly why. It will be important to avoid drawing any premature and inappropriate conclusions as to what it is that is motivating the dog barking at any particular time.

Accomplishing this first step completely and well is really important. Failing to accomplish this 1st step well could bring about failure in accomplishing your desired goal.

Step number two should be to determine when it is that the dog barks. During this step you should avoid attempting to force the dog to stop barking as though it were an inappropriate behavior. Your dog will find it extremely confusing if that identical behavior would be appropriate on other occasions and under similar circumstances. Perhaps, the dog barking is because it wants to protect its territory or is simply alarmed by something. If that is the case, you cannot simply yell at your dog to stop. In fact, negative reinforcement when your dog is merely attempting to protect its territory can often lead to biting or aggression in other forms. Your dog receives conflicting messages. They may stop the barking. However, the territorial issues are still there. If you wish to succeed in this endeavor, it will be necessary for you to create a situation in which your dog will not feel that territorial urge to defend itself. This starts by taking control of your household. Be the alpha leader of the pack and show the dog that you are the one in charge of protecting that space.

The very last step is going to be to determine if your dog has anxiety issues. If it does, the barking is likely a symptom of something much greater. They want to reach you and will continuously bark until you return. Are you one of those individuals who, upon returning home and considering that your dog is excited, you immediately give them attention? Rather than rewarding them in this instance, you should ignore your dog for as long as 10-15 minutes so they stop associating your return with your attentiveness. This step can be an important one since to stop dog barking, you should teach your dog how to speak quietly and be quiet. By creating a command that allows you to control the behaviour, your dog will learn to control the barking when it is not necessary. A benefit of this is that, if there is an intruder or something at which you want your dog to bark, they will still alert you. In this last step, it will be important to avoid being inconsistent in your dog training. Your dog will get inconsistent and confusing messages. If you reward them on one occasion and punish them on the next for the very same behavior, this will merely result in a great deal of unnecessary anxiety.

You should follow each and every one of these 3 steps carefully. Be sure you steer clear of the pitfalls and potential problems mentioned. Once you do these things correctly, you greatly minimize the likelihood of problems arising.

Having carefully followed the suggestions given here you should expect to be able to stop the incessant dog barking! After all, isn't this your desired goal? If you follow these three steps, you will be able to accomplish your goal speedily and successfully. Then enjoy each and every one of the benefits that will come with your success!
