Barking!

A dog’s natural instinct is to protect his home & property. A dog that is unsupervised or out of reach cannot be corrected for barking (or digging, or chewing…).   In order to work with barking, therefore, the dog must be supervised and easily reached during times of (possible) barking.  

To facilitate teaching not to bark, you do NOT have to wait for the situations of barking to happen. Enlist help, and set up the situation! Practice several times in a row to teach. The easiest way to work with barking (as with anything) is to have the dog on a leash (or umbilical leash – a little safer).  That way, it is easier to catch and correct (and praise!) the dog.
