How To Stop Your Dog From Barking

Are you sick and tired of listening to your dog
barking at all hours of the day and night? We
have some suggestions for you to stop this
annoying behavior forever in your canine. These
tips are both safe and highly effective in
keeping your pet from barking.

Before we begin, let's first look at why dogs
bark in the first place. One of the biggest
reasons canines bark is out of pure boredom.
Yes, just like with humans, dogs can get bored
and must let off their excess energy in some
way. Unfortunately, one of these ways they get
rid of the energy is to vent it by barking. So
one thing you can do is to ensure you dog has
plenty of toys around to play with and also to
give your dog plenty of exercise to wear off the
boredom.

But if that does not work, you will have to take
more aggressive action. One of the ways the dog
owners do this is to use what are called dog
shock collars. This is an unfortunate name
because it uses the word shock. We do not use
these electronic collars to punish the animal by
hurting it in anyway. In fact, that can be very
counterproductive to stop a dog from barking.

The shock collar is simply used to distract the
dog and make it an annoying action. It should be
no more painful to the animal than a buzzing bee
is about their face. Actually, the buzzing fly
analogy is a good one. We simply want to break
the dog's attention when he or she is focused on
barking. Therefore, the collar settings should be
set so that the shock is simply an annoying thing
and not a painful shock.

If the dog yelps when he is hit with the shock,
it is set too high. You simply want the canine
to stop dog barking by being distracted for a
short period of time. Also, you want the shock
to be as annoying as possible without hurting
him or her.

These collars can be purchased online or at pet
retail stores for less than $100 usually. They
come with a remote device and a special collar
with prongs. The prongs need to fit snugly on
the dog's neck but not too tight. The remote can
be used usually at least 50 yards away. Check the
collar's instructions to make sure that the
distance it works will work for your yard and
situation.
