If you are ready, you can do these simple steps to help decrease barking for your dogs:
●
Remove what causes them to bark. For
example, if your dog sees a stranger passing by, you can close the windows or
move them to another room.
●
Sometimes, dogs just bark to get your
attention. If you believe this is the motivation for their barking, it is best
to ignore them. Let them feel that you are not distracted from their barking at
all. Don’t talk to them or touch them. Don’t even look at them, as this can
sometimes trigger even more barking.
● Give them treats or toys. These can distract your dogs. When they play with toys that are mentally and physically stimulating to them, they would not notice the stimuli for their barking. They would also be too tired from playing and won’t have the energy to bark anymore.
If you have concerns about your pet's health and/or
behavior, make an appointment with your animal hospital Urbana, IL.
