2 Different Ways To Quell Your Dog’s Nuisance Barking And Give Your Ears Some Peace And Quiet

So your dog is a bit noisy, right? Well trust me, I’ve been there. I have a black lab that used to bark at just about anything and everything. He used to be so mean that I ended up having a hard time sleeping some nights. I finally found a way to teach Chester to stop barking, and I think I can help you do the same for your dog.

The first thing you’ll want to try is gently touching your dog’s nose every time he barks. Then look him in the eye and say “No” while shaking your head. This is the simplest way to try to teach your dog to stop barking, and it’s not always the most efficient method. However, in some cases, the dog will start to understand that he is doing something wrong when he barks for barking’s sake, and eventually he might start to see some improvements.

The next thing to try is to use a command your dog is already familiar with. For example, if you have already taught your dog to “Stay Still”, then you already have a pretty decent tool at your disposal to stop your dog from barking.

So whenever your dog barks for no reason, simply use a command you’ve already taught him, in this case it’s “Stay”, and his attention should be immediately drawn to your command.

These two tips really helped me train my dogs to stop barking. They are not a cure-all and you will likely need to combine these two tactics with some type of bark control product. However, in some (but very few) cases, your dog may respond exceptionally well to these two methods alone.
