subject: Step By Step Guide To Stop Golden Retriever Barking [print this page] Uncontrolled barking is actually very uncommon in this breed therefore golden retriever barking is not normally a problem. This breed of dog tends to be a very sociable breed that has a good temperament. This breed really only barks when it is provoked to do so.
There are exceptions therefore some dogs maybe more prone to barking despite it not being the normal behaviour for this breed. In some occasions this dog can bark without being provoked and this is mainly due to the environment that it grew up in. Sometimes this barking can become a very annoying habit.
If you would prefer your dog to bark when someone knocks on the door just leave him but if you would prefer the dog to stay quite then you will need to take measures to get the dog to be quite quickly.
It is important to remember that growling, barking and howling are all natural behaviours for the dog to show regardless of what breed it is . A lot of young dogs will growl and bark when they are playing with each other as this is a way of communication. It is important that you correct the behaviour even when the dog is only a puppy.
When the puppy barks a little whilst asking for food or playing it is important that it receives the command to stop barking. Once the puppy does stop barking he should be rewarded and praised. It is important that the commands and rewards are consistent as this will make training a lot easier.
Consistent training should be started as early as possible in order to be able to successfully stop the dog from barking. If the puppy is barking to let you know he needs the toilet still give the command to stop barking but praise the puppy for using the toilet properly. With consistent training the dog should soon learn that barking is not an acceptable way to behave.
