If you have a problem with your dog because he is barking continually then believe me you are not alone, many dog owners are under the illusion that this situation cannot be resolved but nothing could be further from the truth.
Dogs bark for numerous reasons, it is a natural form of communication for them after all they cannot talk, so it's a way of them talking to you.
Lets contemplate the explanations to why the dog is barking, bizarre as this may sound if you are inexperienced at keeping dogs, every dog bark has its own unique sounds when they bark, you need to take notice of these sounds in order to understand them, for instance; if we are calm then our voice sounds totally different to when we are shouting or annoyed, and in many cases with regard to barking dogs this can be similar.
By observing these tones will give you an indication to whether it is a friendly bark or an aggressive bark, don't take my word for it next time you are out and about listen to the different dog bark tones.
Countless owners of dogs in this day and age get dogs for security reasons; a barking dog in this situation is not a problem, on the other hand under the circumstances when a dog barks all the time and you can't figure out the reasons why, can be a problem and needs to be investigated thoroughly.
Experienced dog trainers are quite adamant that dog barking is a cry for attention, shouting at a dog in frustration is what many dog owners make the mistake of doing, and that is what the dog wants he now has your attention and thinks, that works so he will do this again and again.
The second explanation on the list is not enough fresh air and exercise, if you think back to the times when you first had your dog the first thing you probably wanted to do was take him for a walk, but over time in some cases the pleasure diminishes for what ever reason and the dog is very sensitive towards this and will bark.
It's obvious when the weather is not suitable for taking the dog for a walk we all have a tendency to sweep this task under the carpet, but the dog does not feel this way and often oblivious to the weather conditions out side and will soon let you know by barking he or she is not happy with this.
The third reason is if he is inside and needs to relieve himself, its okay when we want to do this we go the bathroom and don't really think about it, however the dog has to rely on you to let him out into the garden or take him to the local park so again the only way he knows how is to bark.
Conversely a further explanation is questionably the most frustrating dog barking problem is if the dog barks all the time, even when he is scolded put into the garden and carries on, this can be annoying for the people who live around you.
If the family next door or over the road work nights which is quite normal these days, they have to sleep in the daytime and a dog barking can be very annoying and not fair to these people and is your responsibility to resolve this problem.
The result has several sets of consequences shouting and losing patience with a dog is a natural reaction, but that really does not work, in some cases people will complain to the authorities they are quite within their rights and you then make bad relationships with people that live around you, and that's not a good situation it affects everybody and solves nothing.
The solution is not simple but shouting is not practical and proved not to be successful, there is always a reason why a dog is barking all the time, so its down to you to get to the bottom of it and to get involved with a little lateral thinking.
A good friend of mine years ago shared a technique he used with his barking dog which when he first told me this I thought it was a joke, however when he shared the results that encouraged me to take it seriously.
Instead of yelling at your dog try the reverse and lower your voice and speak so that the dog has to pay attention to hear you, he explained this simply did not work on the first occasion mainly because the dog did not expect this to happen but on a consistent basis this was very effective and certainly solved his dog barking problems.
