HELP! My Great Pyrenees Won't STOP BARKING!

- Have a Great Pyrenees that won't stop barking? There is a reason! Great Pyrenees were bred to bark. Barking is their primary method of doing the job they were bred to do, guard livestock.

😂 I wake up when I don’t hear the bark at night 😊
I’ve had my Pyr for 5 months. Adopted him from the shelter. He is now 16 months as I type this. I didn’t do much research on GP’s before adopting and the barking was pretty bad. Early in the morning and late at night which could become an issue with your neighbors. He’s an outside dog and I have a decent size backyard so he has a good amount of space to move around. Anyways, I decided to take him to the dog park one day and he was thrilled. I didn’t realize how friendly and playful they are with other dogs. So I noticed there was no barking that night and no barking the next morning. I took him back a second time a few days later and again, no barking at night or the following morning. So now I’ve made it a habit to take him for 30 minute walks EVERY day. His behavior totally changed, not just with the barking but he doesn’t jump on me every time I go to the back yard and the play biting has also been brought to a minimum. He’s become somewhat of a celebrity at the park. People know his name and he gets stopped for photos. I know every dog is different so I can only speak for my Pyr, Logan. He’s a lot of work but I’m ready to invest the time. I did begin to regret my choice of adoption early on but now I know I made a good decision because not many people are willing to adopt an extra large dog. I hope this helps someone somehow.
Great advice Eric! Thank you for sharing and howdy to Logan from Texas! 👋 🤠
Thank you this really helped me!
Thanks, we just adopted a 3 month old boy. He's not an active barker yet, but taking out to play and to go on walks definitely loosens him up and chills him out.
This gives me hope! I just adopted a great pyr same as you, not doing research. She’s super friendly and has pretty good leash manors. She’s not very reactive towards other dogs or anything else. But at night she barks!! Not all night but here and there. I’ll try this. She gets two walks a day.
Love that puppy every day and rejoice each time you hear her bark!!!!!
I couldn't hear your video...my Great Pyrenees was barking. Mine keeps me safe from motorcycles.
Hahaha! Sounds about right!
🤣 ahaha
Hahaha
😂 😆. And leaves hitting the ground 🤦♂️ 😭.
Mine hates motorcycles and 4 wheelers
We just lost our GP and I would give a million dollars to hear her bark again!!!!!!! 😞
💔
We're on our third. Borking is built in. Probably the best thing about Pyrs is they are low maintainance versus something like a lab. And yeah, if a chipmunk farts two miles away, that Pyr is borking!
Haha! So true! Thanks for watching!
Ours barks when the chipmunk is puckering up to fart.
My two Pyrs bark when an airplane flies overhead..
My Pyrenees literally thinks the wind is attacking me. He’ll bark at anything.
Haha! That's pretty typical! Thanks for watching ❤️
Great Pyrenees are territorial dogs. They are also farm dogs. They walk the perimeter constantly barking to ward off other animals!! They are also typically nocturnal
Thanks for watching Tyler!
My Pyr / Berner mix barks but if I say "thank you, the threat is gone" he will stop. I trained him do so. Start early and embrace the bOrk!!
haha! Great tip! We'll have to try that! Thanks for watching!
gunna try this on my great bernese puppy!
Tori, is that a Great Pyrenees and Bernese Mountain dog mix? If so I’ve got to see that! 😊
They’re such smart dogs! I love my great pyr/Aussie mix!
How did you get to that point? My Pyr has recently found her bark and every time we let her out to use the bathroom she goes crazy. Neighbors have started to complain and only a matter or time before the HOA complains.
I got a Pyrenees mix by accident. He was at a rescue listed as a Brittany spaniel mix. Nope. 80 pounds of barking beast dog. If it creeps, crawls, or moves it will be barked at. If barking isn't enough he raises the threat level. He's a mess but we love him.
Thanks for watching Larry! Our girl Mabel absolutely hates butterflies and she barks like crazy anytime she sees one. 😂
Butterfly farts in next county, Pyr barks, spider burps under the house, Pyr barks!
@@tbjorn7374 indeed. My dog's mom was a small 20 pound brown and black brindle coated mixed breed stray dog. Daddy was never seen. Our previous vet believed the dad was a Pyrenees or Pyrenees mixed with another livestock guard breed. Our current vet says he thinks he is appropriately half Great Pyrenees. Whatever he is, he thinks that his purpose in life is to bark. He has recently discovered the eagles trying to catch squirrels in our area. The eagle has to be nearly deaf by now because of the barking.
@@tbjorn7374 haha so true!
@@larryh7760 it’s awesome how they instinctively protect against aerial threats!
As they mature, if they are companions not working, at about 2 years old the barking reduce’s or stops as it did with our 2 past GP’s. If they are working actively, deal with the barking, as stated it is defense of the flock #1. If your thinking of getting a GP #1 they are giant dogs, a single full grown GP will take up most of a full size sofa. #2 they need something to do or they will eat said sofa. #3 they bark until older. #4 of all the breeds I’ve owned they are the best. Last but not least they have relatively short life spans, 10 years on average, when it’s time to put them down, and you’ll know. Don’t just take them to the vet and send them to the back to be put down. I went to the back with every dog I had and sit on the floor with their head in my lap as the drugs were given to ease their suffering. It’s damn hard. They have lived their life for YOU. Don’t let them pass with a stranger, they deserve your companionship as they pass. It sucks to do, but they would do it for you. Never let your dog die alone if you can be with them. They earned your love in their time of need, give it to them.
Getting our new GP pup in a few days. Buckle up honey here we go again :)
Well said Rocky. Unfortunately, I've been there a few times to be there with our pets as they are put to sleep. You are absolutely right, it's very a difficult and emotional experience, but it is the least we can do to be there for them in their passing as they were there for us over the years. Wishing you the best of luck and many blessings with your new Great Pyrenees puppy! Keep us posted on how it goes! ❤️
My GP ofc barks too. We live quite close to a big city. I'm woken up frequently by his barks, And yes, it can seem annoying. However, I made the decision not be upset at my best friend for alerting to me any/all possible dangers. Instead I always thank him and tell him he has done a great job. That is after all, his job, to protect his flock and land. I go back to sleep and he goes back to protecting us. P.S. a small % of the time I will look out and notice that there is actually something I should respond to. It's a balanced trade-off and I am very glad to have him assisting me with home defense.
Definitely doing their job and what they were bred to do when they bark! Thanks for watching!
Good description of my lovely five Pyr doggies. (And yes ... my neighbors kind of hate me. But hey. I'm not crazy about them either.) My five lovelies, who take very good care of me in my kind of sketchy neighborhood: Lily, Xavi, Inky, Bean and Amaia. Where I live, the weirdos are a LOT more scared of big barking dogs than they are of guns. My doggoes love me and take care of me. Pyrs are the absolute best. And yes ... they ALWAYS circle back around to make sure I'm OK. I so love these dogs.
Love that! Thank you for watching Dawn!
Mine too. He isn't barking at the moment but he is passed out on me snoring. Best breed ever.
Haha love it!
My son got us one he's 3yrs old 151 lbs he lives in are house. I just l Iove him. His barking can get on nerves sometimes but, I'd never give him away. There the best dogs and so loving.
Thank you for watching Maggie! Yes they are such a loving and loyal breed!
Love them we had 1 for 13 glorious years he was our Baby!!❤️thank u
They are a truly special breed. ❤️
These are great dogs. Yes the barking is an issue but its only because they are protecting you. They think anyone approaching your house is coming to murder you. I guess these days that is not such a bad thing.
Good point! They certainly alert us to any impending danger!
My Pyr has a BIG BOLD BOOMING BARK! She mainly sleeps all day, and BOOMS at night, for hours.
That’s the Great Pyrenees bread and butter 😀
I own 2. Yes wonderful dogs and 100 percent agree !!
We are very biased but they are the best dogs ever!
Sleep all day bark all night that’s what they do I love it
Always on guard!
Thanks for the video and hopefully educating some future dog owners who are looking at this breed.
Thanks for watching! They are amazing dogs but they aren’t great for everyone.
HOA, if I lived in an HOA I would have a GP just to tic them off. We have lived with GPs for 30 years, our last on passed on last summer, the other farm we work for still have two with the goats. The barking is a much welcome sound. So comforting to know they are out doing their thing. From an early age we made them sit and wait for the food bowl, other wise they would be all over us.
My farron was always actually much quieter than most pyranese but he would definitely let you know when someone was at the door, but he has always been the most friendly dog I've had with strangers once he knows that we're okay with them.
They are pretty great at discerning threats. Thanks for watching!
All Pyrenees bark. That’s why they need a big space to run in and a flock of something to protect. That’s what they were bred for and what thier job is. Unfair to pen them up in small spaces or have them inside. They need a job.
Thanks for watching Deb!
My Great Pryenees barking led me to search for 'Great Pyrenees Barking'. It seems that your Pyrenees barking has calmed mine down, because yours are already doing it. Makes sense, lol.
Haha! That's awesome! Thanks for watching and I hope you found the video helpful!
I noticed after your daughter fed the dogs she away with a models walk. Cute gal.
Haha! She had to smile for the camera! Melissa is our sweetheart. She has a huge heart for our animals and wants to be a veterinarian.
Very well said!!! A gp is absolutely one of a kind special dogs!
Thank you for watching Amber! They are so unique in an almost majestic way! Unless you own a GP you wouldn't understand. That's the best way I can explain it!
No!! Why didn't I see this before?! Ahhhh!!! Thanks for this video !!
Our great Pyrenees barking a lot too , her favourite a postmen or his motorbike.!..? we are not sure, but we ❤ her very much 🇦🇺🌈🌻💕
Love this video!
❤️
They're just like that brother I've got 7 for cattle as well and they don't stop barking but I've just got used to it it's part of what makes them special I'd gladly die for those dogs any day also during the day they're very lazy and sleep in the building in the AC and then very active and alive all night I was blessed because my uncle got me 3 from his friend when they were a month old and ended up having 4 more puppies truly makes my heart smile to see so many people love these dogs and have a deep connection with them
Thank you for watching!
My GP is 9 he mostly stays out in the barn yard and he barks a lot we live in the country and we have coyotes and have pictures of them around the barn by the house and one right by the front porch but not any more since we leave Bear out at night so the chickens and cats are safe at night now everyone is happy
We thought our pyr was deaf when we adopted her but she just never barks. I have no clue what her voice sounds like.
Wow! A Pyr that never barks is rare! Thanks for watching!
Shocking.
Love love these dogs!❤😊
🥰
Great video and info.......
Thank you for watching!
That’s their job ❤️
That’s right!
Beautiful animals
Thank you for watching Dana!
@@WillowRidgeAcres You guys are truly welcome
We are adopting our first great pyr next week. Can hardly wait.
He’ll be 8wks
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching Dani! What’s his name? ❤️
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching Dani! What’s his name? ❤️
@@WillowRidgeAcres His name is Percy. He’s such a good boy!
Yes! I am too! Mine is named Jameson
This makes me want one of those dogs so bad!
They are amazing dogs!
They absolutely are! Yours are gorgeous
@@arock3052 Thank you Amber! Mack, Mabel, Meredith and Millie all say hi to Luna! 👋
You do want one. So what if they bark? Big whoop. I’ve never felt safer in my home than since Louis Bourbon moved in two years ago. NOBODY wants to mess with you with one of these dogs around. An apartment might be an issue, but if you have a home with a fenced yard (6 ft minimum), you’re good to go. Louis checks on my husband, who is disabled, throughout the day and night. He lets me know if anything unusual happening near our home.
Hmm pack of big dogs barking think I’ll go the other way . Mission accomplished
That’s right! Thanks for watching Mike!
I'm gonna buy outdoor Bose speakers and play Jimi Hendrix 24/7 full blast. Give back to my lovely neighbor!
I would actually enjoy that! Jimmy Hendrix rocks!
I have a 2 yr old great pyranese/ lab mix and its so true what you said about how they behave when they perceive a threat. Ive had strange people come to my gate and she is ON IT and if i walk out on the porch she cir les back and will back me up! Shehas stood on her hind legs and pushed me with her front feet. And its gentle! She isnt jumping on me she is literally herding me back in the house. Im like damn! Am i not the boss around here??
They are gentle giants but they will protect you and their flock with their lives
@@WillowRidgeAcres yes, sir. And from any arial attacks from birds as well. We had a large buzzard in an oak tree right by my front porch once and she was not letting me out of her site while that bird was therd. Then my mom pulls up in the driveway and i could tell Bee was thinking, "Great, now I have to watch that one too!" Lol. I love my dogs. Poor thing, im doing my best to keep her cool in this South Mississippi heat this summer.
they are beautiful!! We have 5 pyrs... all barkers of course!
Thank you! And thanks for watching! They definitely bark a lot but after a while we got used to it and honestly their barking gives us peace of mind that they are keeping our property rid of predators. 😁
I have two. Good luck with that. Mine bark all the time.
Oh yeah, there’s no stopping them. We’ve got 6 now 😂
I have had my Great Pyrenees mix (with Husky and Malamute) and she hardly barks. I was told that the malamute trait is what made the difference.
Some of them do bark more and I just add a few more goats to herd and they settle down with watching the new animals, crazy but it works 😊
I can soooo relate! Haha
😫😆🤣
I am thinking about getting one!
They are amazing dogs!
Hi there,
First off, I want to say that my husband and I found your review thoroughly informative. We have owned large breeds before and are considering a Pyr. Upon my research, I am still left with questions that maybe you and the “Pyr community” could help us with before we make our final decision.
1. Food. We have an 8 year old female Siberian Husky/American Pit named Sadie that we want to find a companion for. We feed her Purina Sensitive Skin Lamb/Rice. How does this fair for this breed considering the digestive systems they have? Would Hills be more of an appropriate option or perhaps Purina Pro Plan? What about as a pup? Any suggestions? What foods did you guys feed your GP as a pup and then as an adult?
2. Training. Is it advisable to spend hundreds of dollars on obedience training versus DIY? What route did you take? In my experience, I trained all my pups, however, we are talking about a different breed here. The stubbornness is something I ran into a lot with my dogs so patience and positive reinforcement is key!
3. Grooming. My Sadie goes to the vet faithfully. Considering this dog, (His name would be Cooper) sheds ALOT, I plan to brush him myself daily, at the latest once per week for 30 minutes and take him for nail training monthly. Bathing is something I am curious to hear your thoughts on. Unless Cooper is filthy, every two months should be enough. Correct me if I am wrong “Pyr Community”….
4. Exercise. I have a fenced in yard but would still take Cooper on two 45 minute walks daily. Hopefully, this is enough….
5. Barking. The infamous barking….how do you effectively minimize it? I’m sure yelling at this intelligent breed to shut up would not be smart or supportive to their emotional well-being. After all, they have super sonic hearing so would you offer any tips or strategies?
I sincerely appreciate everyone who took the time to read this post. I need a big, sweet, therapy dog in my life that I can enjoy for many years to come.
I feel this breed matches my characteristics to a T, “big, sweet, stubborn, loyal, and intelligent”, just like a Capricorn.
Anyways, I hope to hear from you and I appreciate you dearly! Blessings and prosperity!
Hey Tanya! Thank you for watching. Shoot us an email at info@willowridgeacres.com. We'd be glad to help.
Awesome video!
Thank you! Does Mellow bark a lot? How does he do as an inside dog?
@@WillowRidgeAcres He only ever barks if someone comes onto our property. Even as an inside dog we still see the guardian side of him. He loves being inside but also loves his outside time. One of his favorite things to do is sit inside the chicken run!
Hanging out with all his chicken buddies!
you are Amazing keep making your video’s 🥰😄👩🏽
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Thank you for the reminders of why they like to bark... so much. I have my second GP (he's three years old). Do you mind if I ask if you feed them once/day and how much? Also, how much do they weigh? My vet says my guy (Aneto) is overweight (110 lbs) so I've reduced his food allowance, but now I think he's hungry all the time ;-(.
Thanks for watching Grant! We feed our Great Pyrenees about 2 cups of dog food twice per day, once in the morning and once again in the evening. Our adult females weight between 80-90 lbs and our adult males weigh between 100-115 lbs. I wouldn't say that 110 lbs is overweight for a Great Pyrenees. The breed standard for Great Pyrenees allows for us to 120 lbs. Hope that helps!
he is not at all overweight. 110 is fine. my GP pup just hit 17months and is 110lbs. These dogs can be 150-160 on the large end of healthy
I have a 2 year old female who is 130lbs and my male who is taller is is 16 months and weighs 135lbs. My female is thick, but she is built that way. Can still feel her ribs properly, she is just solid as a rock. My male still looks skinny and he just hit 135, so I'm sure he properly has another 15lbs or so to go. I know people who have Pyrs that dwarf my dogs. It just depends on your dog, can't go by weight alone.
There probably barking at something if it’s a coyote somewhere in your area they might be barking at that or barking at someone who’s passing by sometimes
It’s common for them to bark there probably hearing something or just barking to scare someone off
You're right! They have great hearing and can hear a coyote from a far distance. They can even pick up on the scent of predators which will trigger them to bark. Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed it!
You are very lucky man
Thank you for watching Jim!
Mine does the same
You have to embrace the bark! 😅
Yes my Bella. We are moving to a new house with a fence. So goo bye to our neighbor who gets mad at me for her bark.
Hello to Bella from our small farm in Texas! 👋🤠
And your neighbor is thankfull you and your dog are no longer living next door.
@@richardsmith1289 Amen, these are the worst dogs ever unless you actually have a farm, livestock, and don't live in bark range of other people.
I have a decent sized house, 2 bedroom 2 bath and have 2 pyrs. It gets a little dirty, a little hairy but I wouldn't have it any other way
I bet they take up the entire couch! ❤️ Thanks for watching!
It’s 5 am and mine is barking bc of the highway in the background just like my farm we have a highway that runs along side our property . Barks all the time coyotes, possums , gophers .
That’s the sound of protection. 😀
I believe my dog is a GP mix she barks at everything and extremely protective of me
Good Channel.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for watching!
What do you feed your pyrs... eggs, veg, etc
We feed our Great Pyrenees Victor Hi-Pro Plus: amzn.to/3sqKujO And we mix in a raw egg from time to time. Thanks for watching!
I noticed you separate all the animals and the dogs are in separate yards at feeding time. Do the dogs always stay in separate pastures ? Is this to prevent foid aggression?? Do you feed them once a day or several times a day?
We have a few different areas of the property that we can close/open gates to keep the animals separated for various reasons. Sometimes we will feed the dogs separate from the goats to keep the goats from trying to eat the dogs food. We feed twice daily. Once first thing in the morning around 7:30am and again around 5:00pm.
My big girl has run off potential home intruders twice.
Gotta love it!
That's so cool how they bark and then check if everyone's safe. ❤ I want to rescue one from the pound but I'm afraid of all the barking. That's the only thing stopping me.
Thanks for watching! I hope I didn't completely discourage you from the breed. While they do bark a bit, it's not as if they bark incessantly at nothing. They'll only bark when the perceive a threat. :)
@@WillowRidgeAcres do they also bark from separation anxiety? Or are they ok with the TV on and another dog and pets around?
My other choice is a Cane Corso. I hear they are mellow, but I don't want that hunting instinct to make them eat my 2 parrots and chihuahua.. lol!
I want submissive to me, easy to train protective and a loving sleepy head. Any advice on that is appreciated.❤ I'm recovering from covid long haulers and it's been hard to walk. I need a companion that's strong in case I need to lean on him, and smart enough to know to give me a minute to breathe. Thanks again!❤
One of ours barks for a little due to separation anxiety at times. But I feel like most dogs do that at times. All of our Great Pyrenees are outside, working livestock guardian dogs so they rarely come in the house (only the females if puppy whelping gets tough). So I'm not sure if they would respond to the TV or radio being on to soothe separation anxiety. Although they do tend to lay around together in groups so I would say they do better in pairs. Hope that helps!
I have a great pyrenees/lab cross. She looks like a long haired black lab, except she's 104 pounds. She acts like a GP (except that she loves to swim) and would happily spend all day every day in the yard, patrolling the fence and barking. Drives us nuts sometimes, but love her to death.
Over time you learn to love their crazy antics! 😁 Thanks for watching!
Both of my grandparents knees are barking
😂😂
We have a Great Pyrenees / American Bulldog, aptly named Zeus. They are so smart, but yes he barks and howls at almost everything.
Now that's an interesting mix! I'd love to see a picture of Zeus! Email it to us: info@willowridgeacres.com
Our perennese barks when it gets dark A lot we got a vibrate collar and that stopped that thank god
That’s definitely what they do by instinct. To be an amazing livestock guardian they have to be on alert at night, that’s when there is the greatest threat from predators. You are battling against centuries worth of instincts bred into your dog. Glad you got it under control! Thanks for watching!
We named ours Luna thought it was fitting for the specific reason when the moon comes out they are at their peak attention.
@@arock3052 Thanks for watching Amber! It's so cool when you fully appreciate the Great Pyrenees' instincts to be on high alert at night when the threat is the greatest!
Ours barks after eating and when it gets dark. Barks at frogs. Barks at owls. Barks at the wind... Yes, a training collar is a must for peace. Vibrate only works as a warning if you actually shock them later. Good thing they are a VERY smart breed.
I have a fm and i can never cook she bracks the whole time im cooking lol
The dogs need grooming, I had two of the these magnificent animals and yes they do bark a lot.
Thank you for watching!
My full bred Pyrenees is not only the most barking dog I've ever had but hes a timid scared acting boy. He honestly hates going outside other than to use the bathroom. He won't go up or down our stairs. We have three acres and he's not interested in even exploring. Hes 4 years old and even though our family loves him to death , I personally am disappointed with his demeanor. We've always had golden retrievers and labs and I did a tremendous amount of research into Pyrenees and I thought I was choosing a winner.
Oh wow that is strange. None of our Pyrs are timid like that, although they do cower if corrected or disciplined harshly.
@@WillowRidgeAcres TY for your response and input.
Did you raise him as a puppy?
GPs despite their size are very sensitive dogs, and do not react well to being scolded. They do respond very well to positive reinforcement. But if he was trained incorrectly as a pup that may have lead to his demeanor.
If that's not the case then sometimes their are just exceptions to the rule.
@@jamesreese4170 Yes, I raised him as a puppy. Hes a really good boy but he has none of the traits I researched that GP's are supposed to have. We very rarely have to scold him.
TY for replying.
Aaaaand so what do you do if you're one of the neighbors real close to this? Say right on the other side of the fence from one of these dogs? Bedroom and at home office 50 yards from this? What do we do? How do we get sleep? We love dogs and farm animals, but wow it's nonstop barking all night every night. We love our neighbors, and they have every right to protect their animals. But We're thinking the only option is moving at this point. Anyone have any advice on how to be good neighbors but also keep our sanity and decrease the barking?
Hey Jamie! Thank you for watching. And I'm sorry to hear you are having to deal with a lot of barking at night. To answer your question, it would depend on where you live and what (if any) restrictions there are. Do you live in a neighborhood with an HOA? Are there any property restrictions or noise ordinances that would prohibit working dogs from barking at night? If so, you can try reporting it via the appropriate channels. Otherwise, if you live on unrestricted property, your neighbors are well within their rights to have livestock and livestock guardian dogs. Unfortunately I would say your only options would be to get used to it or move to a larger property where your house isn't close to neighbors and you have full control over the noise levels around your house.
Hope your coping well. I'm on the opposite side. I want to be a good nieghbor so mine is in at night and when neighbor kids are out. Maybe check noise ordinances, there could be restrictions on times of day when noise isn't allowed, maybe suggest to the neighbor their dog is beautiful, but you would appreciate quiet during certain times. Hopefully they want to be good neighbors.
My Great Pyrenees barks only at threats,perceived threats,actual threats,at other dogs,at cats,at birds,at seen things,unseen things,because he's bored,he's excited,he's hungry,wants attention,he's tired, at coyotes he sees,at coyotes he dosen't see,at coyotes he thinks he sees. Because he wants to. No,nothing special about his barking.
haha! 🤣
Oddly enough, I expected this video to be about how to train them to NOT bark, or to STOP barking on command, which is my goal. But, what, you just have to get used to it…?! I’ll keep looking for a solution then…
Sorry! When you figure out how to get them to stop barking on command... please let us know! 😅
My girl barks at birds lol a chicken hawk landed on the telephone pole in the front yard and she went nuts running back an forth barking at it till it flew away, she barks and barks lil i told my husband we should have named her Barkeley instead of Yanni
Great Pyrenees will consider birds and hawks as predators that can harm their flock. Our GPs lose their minds when they see a hawk circling above! It's pretty cool to see them in action like that.
Gorgeous dogs but they do NOT belong in urban settings surrounded by people with different lifestyles/ schedules than their owner
Thank you for watching!
Or your new neighbor brought two of them home...put them in a pen across the road and they live 1/4 mile down the road...nice and piecfull? You should have seen how nice it was before they moved in.!
Thank you for watching Richard!
In a year or two I will be wanting to buy a female puppy from you. I live just North of Beaumont, TX.
Awesome! Let us know when you are ready!
I bought my Great Pyrenees in Texas.
So... no tips on stopping the barking?
Sorry Cary, if you have a Great Pyrenees they are going to bark. That is deeply engrained in their instincts. I have heard of rare exceptions. But for the most part you aren’t going to easily train a Great Pyrenees to stop barking.
What he said. I have a Great Pyr mix. He’s mixed with German Shepherd and Pit Bull, but is somehow all white. He has the same personality as a Great Pyr, but doesn’t bark all the time. I had a dog that did bark literally all the time (he was just a mutt), & nothing stopped him!
What happened? You explained they bark and why and that was it? Most of us already knew that it's why we watched a video that's mostly all background music 😟😊
thats what they are bred to do. They all bark like that I tried everything to get ours to stop shock collars things like that and nothing works so now when shes outside i where earphones cranked all the way up
A shock collar for this breed is just cruel. They won't care and keep barking anyway.
@@WillowRidgeAcres yeah didnt want to but kept getting cops called so had to try something just leave them in the house more than i normally would they hate being in the house but...
@@WillowRidgeAcres let me clarify the shock part didnt work at all the vibrate part worked for awhile
I thought you were going to offer advice.
Hey Brenda! Thank you for watching! I guess the point of the video is that they were bred to bark so you need to get used to it as it will be extremely difficult to untrain.
@@WillowRidgeAcres I see. Thank you for answering. I can see these are grand dogs, but not for me. :)
Shouldnt have bought a pyranese then...its a guard dog, that's their job
Our Pyrenees barked so much and it would wake us up at like 3 in the morning and we eventually had to get it a shot caller to stop its barking and even that didn't stop it. It only decreased it a little bit.
Not much help in this video, just accept it I guess. Regular exercise and maybe a companion help. I have mine inside at night due to close neighbors. When he goes off on a barking tangent I shut off his view to outside and that stops it.
Help my great pyrenees has ruined my life
No way! Our Great Pyrenees have been such a blessing in our life! 😁
How exactly is that possible are you like 8 and was water spilled on your phone?
Umm nothing about barking dogs
I'm so fing close to an anti bark muzzel
That wouldn’t do much good for this breed as barking is deeply rooted in their instincts
Perhaps consider rehoming your Pyr to someone with a more appropriate environment for the dog if the barking is a problem. It’s literally what they’re bred to do.
Bark training Collar is a must with a Pyrenees. They are VERY smart and will learn with maybe 2 or 3 semi shocks that you only bark continuously at REAL threats. The frogs are not bark worthy, nor is the neighbors car a quarter mile away.
Thanks for watching!
No it won't work with this breed....and why would you even attempt such an idiotic idea. And they are not smart dogs when it comes to obedience, they basically do what they want and thats the nature of the beast. And how would you know what they are barking at their hearing is 10x that of ours.
@@jedidiah5131 1) It does work and 2) Be around the dog and when you hear something and they start barking you know damned well what they are barking at. And my hearing seems to actually be better than his. He has pathetic hearing for a dog. His nose may as well be a blood hound though.
Help…get over it! Click bait.
