Barking Dog Tips
Spend as much time as possible with your dog.
Bring your dog
inside with you whenever possible and keep him in at night.
Take your dogs for a daily walk, teach the tricks, take
obedience classes together. "Doggie day care” can help when you
are away for extended periods of time.
Entertain Your Dog. Provide a child’s wading pool or a place to
dig and stuffed toys or a ball. Specially designed balls and
toys or bones to chew on help keep your dog entertained. Your
pet supply will have many options.
Seek the Assistance of a Behaviorist. Ask your veterinarian, the
Sacramento Dog Training Club (916) 482-5194, or the Sacramento
Council of Dog Clubs (916) 483-3602 for assistance in locating
an animal behaviorist.
Use a Training Aide.
There are two types of anti-barking training devices-static
shock collars and citronella spray collars and both can be
purchased at most pet supply stores. Carefully follow the
directions as provided by the manufacturer and contact them if
you have questions.
