We can't teach them patience if we aren't. It can be extremely frustrating if barking triggers YOU , to teach them to stop. :-) Ask me how I know, lol. Years ago I finally did a little internet research to find out why they bark. Thanks to Cesar Millan I came to understand we are part of their pack and it makes more sense to look at things from the canine mind if we are to figure out these solutions. I enjoyed your video, I am currently looking for some resources for friends who haven't conquered the barking problem & have asked me how I did it. With the alert barking at mailman, I did several things and one of the things I changed about how I approach it was I stopped telling him to shut up , & I looked out the window, calmly said "thank you for telling me, I will handle it" and that connected with him. Because he just wanted to alert me to the potential danger or problem.
Agreed! I love that we can communicate with our dogs and learn to understand one another. It's all about relationship here at BAXTER & Bella.
I like the suggestion for play barking. I didn't know what good time intervals work to have them be calm and then resume play or what. Very specific info is helpful thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome work
Thank you!
We love you.
Thank you!
this video helps so much! thank you! i have a female mastiff and she’s very protective and will only bark at people from inside the house. she’s an alert barker but i can get her to stop if i offer her a treat
it’s almost like she gets suprised and then barks but it almost looks like she’s scared to, it’s hard to know if she’s trying to protect or if she’s scared
@@breeford3456 that's great that you can redirect her. Watch her body language. Whether she is startled or a bit nervous, we want a nice bounce back as soon as possible. It sounds like she is able to redirect easily which is great. As for training, set up sessions where people walk past your home and she turns away from them rather than engaging in barking. We are happy to coach you through this via our program.
What about barking at things they see or hear on TV or sounds in the house they see? How do I handle this?
This is a type of alert barking as well. If they are already barking, we want to interrupt and redirect them onto a new activity, moving them away from the TV if possible, as quickly as we can. Knowing they will likely bark at things on the TV or sounds they hear in the house, we can also train them to ignore these things or do a different behavior when they hear these things. For example, if I know my dog barks when they hear the door open, I can train them to run to their bed for food rewards when they hear this sound rather than bark. We are happy to coach you through this via a one-on-one session inside our program! Let us know if you'd like help with your dog's barking.
We like you.
Why is it that my dog doesn’t bark at other dogs I seen him bark once and all the neighbors dogs quit barking for the rest of the night
Dogs bark for a variety of reasons. It’s all about understanding the motivation behind it in order to change it. Sounds like your dog’s barking was effective and doesn’t need to be changed. 😊
My dog barks at things he hears, not sees. Alert barking is the only barking he does other than to let me know he wants to come inside.I don’t want to stop the alert. Just the continued barking after we see there is no need for concern.
You can teach him the quiet cue. When he is barking, use a high value reward to get him to stop, then mark yes and feed him the reward. Do this 5-10 times, then begin saying, "Quiet" , use the high value reward to get him to stop, mark yes and pay. Repeating this will teach him the meaning of "Quiet" and then you can ask for it when needed.
