Dog over the road has been barking since it could bark, 2 1/2 yrs. I have talked to the owner and they have a collar to help control barking but very rarely use it these days and just let the dog bark. Dog barks at the postman on motorbike, anyone walking down street, other dogs, when I go out to the front garden or the lettebox. I use to always go over and talk to dog, pat her and give her meat bones, but these days she just annoys me with her continual barking The local Shire ranger has rang the owner about the dog only to be abused on the phone. Can anyone give some suggestions on what to do please. Margaret

Hey !! Barking is one style of vocal communication that canines use, and it can mean different points dependent on the state of affairs. Here are some reasons why dogs bark: Territorial/Protecting: When a individual or an animal arrives into an area your puppy considers his territory, that all too often triggers excessive barking. As the risk gets nearer, the barking quite often will get louder. Your puppy will glance alert and even aggressive through this sort of barking.

Canines left alone for prolonged periods, irrespective of whether in the household or in the property, can become bored or depressing and quite often will bark merely because they are unhappy.

Shouting stimulates your puppy to bark a lot more considering he thinks you’re joining in. So the first of all rule is to converse calmly and firmly, but do not yell. Most canines really don't know what you want when you are yelling at them to “shut up.” So train your dog to learn the phrase “Quiet!” Right here are two strategies: When your canine is barking, say “Quiet” in a relaxed, agency voice. Wait until finally he stops barking, even if it’s just to consider a breath, then praise him and give him a treat. Just be cautious to certainly not reward him even when he’s barking. Eventually he will figure out that if he stops barking at the word “quiet” he will get a treat (and make it a high degree treat, these kinds of as cheese or chicken bits to make it well worth further than the barking.) Alternatively, you can teach your puppy to “speak”, then the moment he’s performing that reliably, signal him to cease barking with a totally different command, this kind of as “quiet”, even though keeping your finger to your lips (canines usually choose up human body indicators speedier than voice commands.) Apply these commands when he’s relaxed, and in time he will need to study to end barking at your command, even when he needs to bark at some thing. A tired puppy is a quiet canine. If your canine barks when by yourself, tire him out ahead of you go. Get a extended stroll or operate, perform ball or get a trip to the canine park previously leaving. Really do not make it easy for complications to go on and on. The longer a puppy does an item, the even more ingrained it gets. Barking can give dogs an adrenaline rush, which makes the barking nice.

Older pets can build a kind of canine senility that will cause extreme vocalizations. It is constantly a very good strategy to have a pet checked out to be convinced there’s no health cause for a obstacle. OR Simply gift him this bark collar !!
My Neighbors And The Dogs From He11! We had been having trouble for months with our neighbors and their dogs. The dogs will bark all day and all night and it does not seem to bother them. I have tried everything from cursing at the neighbors to calling the cops but nothing worked and it seemed like the cops felt like they had better things to do. I finally found a solution to this problem and I could not believe how easy it was. Just go to http://www.antibarkingdevice.com and it will show exactly how to stop your neighbor's dog from barking for under $20 I just popped their cd into my stereo and blasted the dog with an ultrasonic sound that humans cannot hear. It worked after one day and I was totally amazed. Anytime I hear them bark, I give them a taste of the blast just to remind them not to bark. You will love the power of shutting them up!

I'd like to add that my large dog wears a shock collar. The power level is low and he barely feels it thro his thick coat-no n worse than putting a AAA battery on your tongue. Because he can be single minded and doesn't always pay mind, it's actually saved him from getting badly hurt more than once.

Call your municipal office. There must be noise by-laws on the books. A barking dog exceeds allowable decibels.
Actually, the ultrasonic device cuases the dog to respond by barking even more, so don't try that. I suggest you cal the police. I'm sure they will understand and the neaighbors will try something else. Electrical collars are cruel and dont work.
Have you seen the Seinfeld episode where elaine had Kraimer and Newman kidnap her neighbors barking dog and drop it off upstate. LOL!!! You could give that a shot!

so you've heard of dog whistles right? set up an audio listening device (a microphone) that can tell when the dog barks or when there's a significant sound (I bet Arduino makes something for sound detection). Then set up several small speakers. Every time the microphone detects a bark blast the dog with a dog whistle by programming the Arduino to sound off when x input (dog bark) is inserted. Make sure to set the frequency of the sound at a high range so humans are not bothered by it.
