There are always some hot topics on the Internet, and dog breeds that are "easy to bark" are definitely the focus of attention for dog owners and potential dog owners. Today, we will reveal the top 5 of this "barking expert" list, and at the same time, how to help these "barking experts" get rid of this habit!
1. The five major dog breeds on the list of "barking masters".
Beagle: As a representative of hunting dogs, Beagles have managed to reach the top of the list with their keen hearing and high-decibel barking sounds.
Dachshund: These short-legged cuties also have a strong barking ability, and they were once the right-hand man in hunting activities.
Chihuahuas: Don't look at their small size, but the Chihuahuas bark a lot!Their wariness and strong sense of territory make it easy for them to bark non-stop.
Yorkshire Terrier: This small dog is also very vigilant and will bark sensitively at any movement.
Siberian Huskies: While they tend to use howls to express emotion, huskies are just as prone to making high-decibel sounds.
2. Why do dogs love to bark?
Before how to help dogs get rid of their barking habits, we need to understand why they bark. A dog's barking can have a variety of reasons, such as alertness, intimidation, excitement, demand, or stress. For dog breeds that bark easily, they are often modified by humans to be louder and easier to bark in order to better perform tasks such as hunting or gatekeeping.
3. How to help dogs get rid of barking habits?
Observe and understand: First, observe and understand the situation in which the dog is prone to barking. In this way, you can train and correct in a targeted manner.
Familiarization training: For dogs that bark due to alertness or intimidation, familiarization training can be used to get them used to the things or sounds that trigger them to bark. For example, if a dog is sensitive to the sound of the walkie-talkie, you can give a reward immediately after pressing the walkie-talkie, so that they will gradually develop a liking for the sound.
Ignore barking: For dogs that bark at request, employing a "ignore barking" strategy is often effective. When the dog barks, don't give any response until it's quiet before meeting its request. In this way, the dog will gradually learn that "barking is useless".
Release stress: Make sure your dog has enough time for exercise and play to release their stress. A tired and happy dog will usually prefer to be quiet.
Seek professional help: If none of the above solves the problem, it may be a good idea to seek help from a dog trainer or pet behavior specialist. They can create a personalized training plan for your dog to help him break his barking habit.
Summary.
While some dog breeds are naturally prone to barking, that doesn't mean you can't change this habit through training and guidance. The key is to understand why your dog barks and take appropriate action. Remember, patience and love are the keys to successful training!
