But how do you stop them from barking the minute they go out in the garden. ? I say shush but he carries on. I will be having a look at your free guide thank you 😊
I had to unexpectedly move into an apartment from a house in a quiet area. I have a pit Bull and she’s losing her mind over all the foot steps and doors shutting. She barks at the slightest sound. I’ve spent the last three days working closely with her in hopes that someday someone will be able to walk by our door and she won’t bark like a banshee but I also worry that it’s something I’ll never be able to train out of her. I miss our old life so much :(
This is exactly why small dogs bark so much. When they bark or growl the owner picks them up, pets them and tells them 'it's ok'. The owner means 'it's ok you don't need to bark or growl'. But the dog takes it as being rewarded for the behavior. great video and so easy to understand.
That may be but small dogs like the ETT and, I assume the Manchester Terrier, have watch dog instincts like the German Shepherd. If you get one you gotta know they are going to bark, and they are loud as F too. ❤😂
Cheers.
@@scottmichaels6854I don’t dispute that, I just wanted to point out, like stated in the video, that if your toy breed has watchdog instinct the best you can achieve is to curb the barking but the dog will keep barking when they feel it is their job to do so, because that’s their drive.
I don’t want to be preachy but it is incredibly important to research the breed you intend to become owner of, you’ll be happier and your dog will be as well. IMHO.
Cheers.
Geneticists have found that genes for aggression are very close to those for short legs and so this is also genetic. See Dachshunds. Owners of small dogs are often terrible. I once had a Shizu run up and bite my Cane Corso in the face, luckily for the dog, she just shook it off. The owner giggled that it was playing. I told her she'll meet a dog that will kill it. My dog would certainly get the blame if she'd reacted. I was preachy!
@@damaristighe3227 Aggression and being a watchdog is not a straight forward link. By definition watchdogs are all bark. That’s the difference between a watchdog and a guard dog. 🙂
That said. People tend to act dismissive with small dogs because, you know, they are small, and don’t see them as scary. But you always have to take it seriously when you decide to become the owner of whichever dog, or any other animal for that matter. Toy breeds might be more manageable because of the size but that doesn’t mean easy.
I’m 100% convinced that the English Toy Terrier isn’t a dog for everyone, speaking of a breed I have experience with. I had big dogs before, Doberman, German Shepherd, etc and I would say the ETT needs a Doberman level of commitment. They are pretty similar in many ways, it’s so funny. 🤣
Cheers 🍻 mate.
@@DavideDavini I agree that some small dogs are just not beginner dogs. And agree warning watchdog barking is often not aggression. Nevertheless, certain small dogs' rate high on many types of aggression at once - dog aggression, stranger aggression and owner aggression - as in biting. Chihuahuas and Dachshunds especially. People minimise this because the results are not as severe as with big dogs. Some large breeds are obviously bred for guarding and protection behaviour. It seems that the different types of aggression are at different loci on the genome and not all are adjacent to those for small size. It's certainly not just the big guys that need some expertise and work to handle. I love Jack Russell's and they can be a high level of difficulty! We sometimes cannot just train genetic effects out..
Wish Will was somewhere in my vicinity. Would love to get training from him
Great video and advice. My 11 month lab is barking more at the min. I’ve already used the shush and that’s enough commands with him, with some limited success. Will try the other empowered command you suggest.
This is why you are the best. My reggie, the cockerspaniel, has come on so much since I've been watching and reading your stuff. Thank you 👍
I used to work w a dog named reggie
This is the best training for barking video I've seen! You addressed a few things including being realistic of the breed and behavior reinforcement. From what I've observed 95% have this backwards! I live in a high crime area (downtown Ft. Worth, Texas) and ALL of my neighbors have dogs. They keep them mainly for deterrence. There is also an underground element that sadly does dogfighting. And add that my area is the second highest location in the city where people abandon their pets! There are dogs barking constantly! I had a next door neighbor who moved because of this. And the person the bought their house has 5 dogs that bark at any and EVERYTHING! They all have a different sounding bark. One thing I've learned....it just takes one bark or yap from a dog to wake one up from a deep sleep! Ear plugs are not an option because I need to hear alarms like smoke CO2 alarm and clock alarm. I just open my back door and the dogs go nuts and It sets off other dogs in the immediate area! Living in a city we have lots of sirens, and there's the daily gun shots...and the dogs go crazy! I did find that a bluetooth speaker with a high pitched sound from another youtube video does help bring down the sound. But I'm trying every humane thing I can find. And yes, I have spoken with the neighbors and it goes nowhere. Next door neighbor puts his dogs outside because he can't stand the dogs barking in his house....
thank you so much for making so much of this training content public, it means the world to me, I've talked to a few trainers recently and .. I understand the need for support but I'm just not in a situation where I can provide financial support to anyone other than myself and my dog lol. So again thank you.
I've trained my 2, with not only words, but hand signals as well. We are now working on walking backwards. Love the videos ... please keep them coming!
My Golden response to all hand and foot signals.
Now doing agility training but barks to much foe me.
My AmStaff (m) & Bonemouth SharPei (f) do not bark. I give them no reason to bark. I use the Shhh method mixed with a lil treat and / or affection right at the moment. When they are outside, I would stand at the door. If they barked, I'd shush them. Remember, it takes 21 times to correct a bad habit. Redirect their thinking. Good luck.
How many pomeranian owners are here ! ?
Ugh yes! 4mo old puppy
Lmao!! I had a Pom who passed away last year at almost 17 and he was an Angel, never barked. Now I have two young female Poms and one is absolutely insane. Omg your comment just cracked me up 😂
yes! 2 of them! and the post came while i was watching this video! 😂😭
@@TheAlexa6 mine is a 3 year old Pom Tzu mix, it’s a good thing he’s cute because he has the mouth of a Pom and learning capacity of a Shih Tzu . He makes my two Foxhounds look awful good .
Lol they don’t shut up😂
Thank you! 🧚🏼
Getting my golden retriever puppy in a week. This will be very useful thank you!!!
excellent video 💙
We have a Pom we got her at 5 months old and she’s trained very well BUT is really bad at barking at other dogs on walks…I’m definitely going take these tips and try them
Great!
thank you, this helped
Picking up a Working Cocker Spaniel puppy in 2 days (already named him Bruce). Been watching your videos for a few days now to make sure that we do his training right, and that hes a very happy, good boy 🙂
how is your 8 month old puppy doing??
Thank! My Cane Corso fake-barks when outside so she can get back to leaning on my leg. Not just barking - she sounds like she's disembowelling someone. I've seen her - she's actually sitting at the door staging it. Never get a dog smarter than you. My husband wants a bark collar, but I see it as the last resort. She's been otherwise so well-behaved that I can take her anywhere. I was told she'd be impossible to manage but it's been a breeze. We'll do this.
I've tried all the tricks I read about yed my 🐕, 5yrs old gifted 2 me 2yrs ago barks @people when I take him out all the time, he's been seeing the same neighbors all the time. Is there any way 2 put a stop 2 his behavior???
Do you classify lead pressure in this context as positive punishment?
You can try the snake air cans. I have a shih tzu and when she was a pup. I used it 1 time and said quiet very loud and powerful and she hasnt barked since. Not even kidding it was like magic.
So you need to have the dog frequently leashed to pair command with correction?
Isnt it insane to suggest a grey hound or whipit for quitness?
We live in the city and I have a high drive, working collie. I didn't set out to get a working dog. I got him from the same breeder I got my previous collie from who was very chill and a couch potato (I mean I walked him every day and we did fun stuff, but he was MUCH less work than Sherlock is). We are surrounded by other dogs on all sides so when I put my dog outside, he often ends up barking uncontrollably. He will come to me now (that was a bit of a challenge), but it means I can never let him out unless I am right there so I can bring him in if he starts really barking. He's very excitable so he kind of goes from zero to 100 very easily and if I don't disrupt the barking, he could literally bark for hours if he gets fixated on something. We've tried a variety of things, but now I only let him out if I am nearby and can bring him in if he gets fixated.
He is also very hostile toward the mailman and any kind of delivery type of vehicle. He can be inside fast asleep on his bed and the fed ex guy will pull up at a house a block away and my dog will instantly jump up, growl, and start barking. I'm not 100% sure what to do. I've tried very calmly saying, all right thanks for letting me know and then correcting. I've tried ignoring it. I've tried opening the door so he can see the vehicle and keep an eye on it. I've tried putting him in his crate. Even when I do "Look at me's" which he is normally decent at, it's like he can't get his focus entirely off the vehicle. My fear is that someday he'll knock down the screen door or something and take off after the vehicle. He's a very sweet dog and overall has a wonderful temperament. He's not hyper by any stretch and we walk an hour every day (usually broken into 2 walks). I also try to do a play session and a training session each day. I have backyard agility equipment and I've started trying to teach him some nose work because he has a great sniffer. But, I'll be honest, I kind of feel like I got a Ferrari to go to the grocery store. Any tips to help with the barking? I know there's only so much I can do with him having a higher drive, and being basically a working dog. (it's too bad they don't have super tiny sheep I could let him herd around the yard! lol).
Temperaments can be such a matter of luck. We've got a super cute little Boxer who's a wanna-be serial killer.
I have a very small dog, does bark not all the time but enough to want me to make it stop, i realize i need to teach them a word like shush, but i obviously dont want to hurt her, can i use a harness rather than a collar to do this?
How can you correct a dog that barks and lunges everytime you meet someone? I have a 1 year old Shar Pei/Husky/Rottweiler/Pitbull/Heeler, and talking to anyone when I'm out with her is frustrating. As soon as she knows I'm talking to someone she'll immediately start barking and trying to jump on them, not aggressively, she just wants to say hi, but it quickly gets out of hand with her excitement and eventually puppy biting.
Going anywhere with friends is almost too much as well, as she'll immediately forget her heel walk and start desperately pulling towards where they're walking, even if I'm walking next to my friend.
Good like
I have 5 mos old litter mates. Thier barking is over toys, what one has the other wants. I constantly remove the toy and have even bought 2 of everything but it does not stop. Any ideas?
I have adopted a puppy yesterday and I am facing this barking problem. I am trying to make him feel home and calm. Hopefully he will be comfortable and calm with time.
How do I get in contact with you to bring my dog to you for training?
Thinking about getting a beagle… how manageable is it to train them to stop barking?
I am fostering a mini golden doodle and her last owner would reward her for barking all the time and get her in trouble for barking too much at times. I’m going to try my best to train her and hopefully she turns to the a great dog.
Hello my dog is a rescued dog ive had him for almost 3 years, he refuses to pee/poop when i take him out although he does it sometimes it depends on his mood. I arranged the timing for his outings to be the same each day already and i train him for obedience almost everyday. However he keeps doing this where i take him out he doesnt poop nor pee for so long. Im not sure what i should be doing its quite tiring if im honest
Take him to the vet it's probably a health issue
My dog started barking started barking at my mom and me when he wants our attention, for example he barks when we're eating dinner. should we ignore his behavior or tell him to shush
I lol’d at him saying get a whippet or greyhound if you want a quiet dog cos my grey ADORES barking in the garden at nothing and barking out the window and people and other dogs haha
What if the neighbours have a dog that keeps barking? How can we make sure our puppy wont bark with him?
I would love to learn this too. I’ve heard stories of people using doggy daycares and their dogs come home with problem behaviors… how do we keep them from bringing it home?
This is the exact issue I’m having. I brought home a puppy that wasn’t reactive and now is because the neighbor lady lets her dogs start barking at 5:30 am and just comes out and says “shush” and they bark at EVERYTHING.
What do you do when the neighbors dogs constantly bark? Like non-stop! They leave for work and they have 5 little dogs that literally bark all day.

I have a German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix. She's been the best dog I've ever had. Unfortunately, one of my neighbors has been complaining about her barking while I'm gone at work. She has a doggy door so she comes and goes as she likes. I've been running with her before and after work. Still no improvements. But personally, I don't think my dog is excessive. She barks for a few min when she hears noises or when someone is walking. When I'm home, I definitely am on top of getting my dog to stop barking after alerting me. But I'm struggling with a solution for when I'm at work. Any suggestions?
We're their 'loving leaders' *gives a correction on a slip lead*.
Yes, loving indeed.
Thought on dog daddy
My cane corso pup is crated while I’m gone. Soon as I come home- he hears me & loses his mind. Barking, jumping- I know I should ignore this behavior- but he don’t stop until I let him out. Please help. He’s only 11 weeks & I’ve watched all of your videos- I really want to train him correctly. He can already sit, lay down, hold when I set his food down & I potty trained him!!! All because I watched your videos A LOT. So thank you.
Any luck? My dog still yaps a lot so I can tell you what NOT to do. Don't let family around your dog when it's still training if they don't respect boundaries. I tell my family to respect dogs boundaries, they don't and now my dog is snippy. DONT reward their bad behavior or it will never get fixed. Tell my family not to coddle my dog after she barks, they still coddle her and she thinks it's okay 🙄 idk if you living with family but they're the problem for me 😭
Same with my Yorkie. He starts when he hears my truck in the driveway. Barking, yelping, jumping like crazy to be let out. It doesn't matter the length of time I'm gone. I can go outside to the mailbox, and he loses it when I walk back inside.
Got a beagle, Know they are a barking bread, but man his demand barking is insanse, Hits his dinner time starts barking, anyone has food he starts barking, tried alot of things but he just learns to bark through it, even rewarded him when he not barking.
Hey. So i have a puppy and a bigger dog but my big dog is the one reinforcing the barking. How should i deal with this?
Me soon😓😓 i got a pitbull and im getting a Lab puppy soon
@@hvrmonyy sadly I never figured it out lol but he's mostly outgrown it now 😅
Can you achieve this without using a slip collar or slip lead?
Doesn’t lead pressure increase the dogs sensitivity to the trigger? Or are you saying to train them separately without the trigger and just use the command when they’re barking?
Depends on the reason why the dog is barking and the underlying emotion. In my opinion he didn’t differentiate enough between reasons as to why a dog barks. Could be attention seeking, then pressure may decrease barking. But if the dog barks out of fear then I personally won’t apply pressure. I would work on the fear element.

My Maltese sits and watches the window for walk-by-ers then he's off like a barking nut all over the house..omg! Im over it.
Same thing with my Maltese
My rott mix lives outside and barks through the night. What can I do from inside the house?
I have a dadhound barks really loude won't stop so need this
What a great! Our 8 month old goldendoodle loves. He even knows when comes on , because he knows brandon's voice now. This book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxKkYeOoCV_w2vPX0CSyVWkhew2c4FYk0d not only gives you brandon's sure fire way to train your dog, it also gives you insight into what makes brandon such an amazing trainer & the wonderful work he does with shelter animals. I highly recommend this book to all new & old puppy parents!
I wish you lived here. I know people must tell you that. I Love my German shepherd, a 5 month old pup. Her obnoxious non stop barking is only when others or dogs come into view. I want to minimize it. Not at home when she's just with us. I'm still doing something wrong. Still pulling my 130 lb body when walking too.
Our neighbors dog is so vocal, it sounds like its dying everyday
This isn't helping what about those of us that have do punishment and correction verbally and touch correction and it STILL isn't working?
Honestly I don't think anyone really knows how to get a dog to stop barking
I have great Anatolian that is supposed to be outside overnight watching the homestead but she barks at nothing. She instantly starts barking the moment I open the door. Then runs the property line barking at absolutely nothing
Mild punishment + sound = dog training ?
What happened to positive reinforcement?
Many German shepherds are used as service dogs though so... They can be trained...
My two dogs bark so much. Its not an attention thing its a needing to bark At anything loud they hear or if they hear someone.
We recently adopted our dog from the shelter about 4 months ago...My dog barks and growls at my husband just when my husband walks into the room.
I have a German Shepard, a husky, and a pit bull. The husky only barks when something isn't right she's mouthy to us when we interact with her which we are okay with but when she is outside by her self with the other 2 she's quite. Now the other 2 cannot stop barking for more than 3 minutes in a long period of time outside its non stop I know german Shepard nature I get it but it is non stop she is louder and more mouthy than the husky.
Realising ive created a needy little sausage
I have Norwegian elkhound and she is very vocal 😂
4:12 you looked away ..... How come?

I keep looking at these. One of our dogs must not actually be a dog, or something is actually wrong with him. When I wake up (Not get up, not move, not even eyes open; nothing. Just almost aware I'm in bed with my head on the pillow) no matter where he is in the house, this dog losses his mind. Literally every single time. Mind you, there are two of us in the house. He does that only when I drift into consciousness. He's ignored, which really does nothing. Taken out. Told to shut up. Being told to shut up works long enough for me to go back to sleep. We have two dogs. One never says anything. Only the one. Yet another example, the other dog goes out, he losses his mind. He shuts up only if I'm standing right over top of him telling him to shut up. If I'm the one walking the other dog, nope. He's screaming as loud as he can the entire time. Doesn't matter if he was just out, was asleep, eating, or another person is right there with him.
My theory is he is his hobby is to see exactly how far he can go before I finally decide to eat him for breakfast. It might have started because of, well, an alarm clock. I haven't used an alarm clock for two years. But who knows. He doesn't want anything. He just likes pissing me off the second I wake up. But not my spouse or visitors. It just follows none of the rules ever laid out. Except for maybe the alarm clock waking us both up that just isn't there anymore.

What do you do if you have a lazy family member who got a hunting breed and didn't bother to get anything more than a kennel, rope, and a leash. I'm in the position of looking after a dog that is untrained and ill-equipped to be trained.

I’m a big fan of corrective collars for barking. Usually set at the beep or vibrate, almost never requiring any shock. It is instantaneous. Not the automatic ones that go off if another dog barks, but the ones that have a remote control. Too many owners just release their dogs without monitoring them. Will is suggesting slip leash correction, which I haven’t had much luck with- especially if you can’t instantly correct them
I have a beep collar and because he barks so much, I have an automatic one. I cannot stay on top of it otherwise. While it’s on, he stop barking after the first beep.
When the collar is off he barks all the time. It’s not sinking in >_
@@shelly1391 Keep working with them when you are able to reward them for not barking at an obvious provocation. If it’s a window, try the occlusive privacy film. When you absolutely can’t monitor them then the automatic beep is ok- try not even charging it after they are aware of it being on. May take a LONG time to correct completely
@@shelly1391 It sounds like it is sinking in - that he only gets corrected when the collar is on!
German shepherd ok barking outside. Aussie Blue heeler inside not ok.

So ignore them or shush them? That’s confusing.
what about running 79,000 volts through my dog every time it barks?
You post a video of how to stop a dog barking in the front seat of the car in a car seat looking at dogs people et cetera barking puppy page 8 months thank you
I tried reearding the good behaviour but he’ll bark immediately after that and sometimes on a good boy biscuit has even choked because he then immediately bark again even though he was calm any advice please tried shhuh stop ✋ didn’t work louder
My Maltese won’t shut tf up
What I would like to find out is whether anybody can teach a Great Pyrenees livestock guard not to "guard" by barking all night long. I have always had to buy Maremmas instead of Pyrs because regardless of how similar they look (and both can do a good job of protecting livestock), the Maremmas only bark when there's actually a predator nearby. The Pyrs simply bark continuously, and while this discourages predators from trying to get inside the fence, it will also make your neighbors hate you and your dogs with a passion. Note that this barking is not being rewarded by human interaction in any way; it seems to be part of their instinctual guarding behavior. I love Maremmas, but they are very hard to find and extremely expensive if you do find one, and I'm really not keen on buying puppies sight unseen from the other side of the country. Pyrs are a lot easier to find locally.
my dog will literally sit there for thirty mins straight barking at absolutely nothing wtf
Do you have a video that you are training a barking dog to stop?
My 17 month old Whippet barks like a German shepherd. Drives me insane.
