How to correct the bad habit of barking in a dog? These points work well

From breed selection to the care of dogs in old age, every shovel officer needs a comprehensive strategy for dog rearing.

Barking is an instinct in dogs. It barks when it finds something of interest or wants to give an early warning. However, sometimes a dog's barking can also disturb or frighten others, making it unpleasant. For example, when there are guests in the house, the barking of the dog will make the guests scared and embarrassed; When a dog barks in the middle of the night, it will affect the rest of the neighbors and cause conflicts in the neighborhood.

Therefore, we must correct the bad habit of barking dogs in time according to the reason for the dog's barking.

The dog heard a sound outside the house

If the dog barks at the sound of a sound outside the house, we need to stop it in time and sternly: Don't bark! If the dog doesn't make a noise after hearing our reprimand, we reward him with treats and praise him. When the dog barks again, we can stop it again, and we can also pat it on the mouth with our hand to let him know that we don't like this behavior. After it is silent, reward and praise it with snacks, and after a few more trainings, the dog will gradually break this bad habit.

Sounds in the house

If the dog barks because it hears a specific sound such as **, we can change its bad habit by training. The method is: we deliberately make the ** sound, when the dog hears the ** sound and barks, we issue a "no barking" command to the dog, and after the dog stops barking, we immediately reward it with words or snacks. When it barks again because of the ringtone, we repeat the above steps and train it a few more times, and the dog will get rid of the habit of barking when it hears the ringtone.

The dog barks when it encounters a stranger

If the dog barks because he is afraid and uneasy when he sees a stranger, or even acts like baring his teeth, we need to train the dog to get along with strangers.

This kind of training requires the cooperation of friends who are not very familiar with the dog. After a friend comes to our house, the dog may express its vigilance and warning by grinning, barking, fluttering, etc., we have to stop it in time and say "no", and then, we calm the dog's emotions by stroking, and when the dog calms down, we can pet the dog while letting the friend feed the dog with snacks, so that the dog knows that our friend is not malicious. When the dog gets used to it, it will stop barking at friends who come to the house.

Correction begins when the dog is young

In addition, when the dog is barking, the shoveler can also take a favorite toy to distract the dog and make it stop barking.

When the dog was a child, it would have some biting movements when playing with the shovel officer, and it should be guided to change this behavior in time. For example, stop it in time when it is about to pounce and tell the dog sternly "no pounce", and after many times it will understand the owner's request. If the dog still doesn't correct it, you can punish him by not playing with it. Similarly, if the dog gets rid of the bad behavior of biting in time, the shoveler should praise it in time to reinforce the dog's correct behavior.

When taking the dog out, pay more attention to stop the bite. After a while, the dog will know that he can't pounce in front of humans.

Some excrement shovelers spoil dogs too much when they first start raising dogs, causing dogs to mistakenly think that they are the owners of the house, and shovel officers are their "servants".
