My Dog Barks Continuously what does she desire?
Dogs bark because we humans desire our dogs to bark. For years our domestication process and selective breeding has permitted our dogs to develop their barking abilities. Wolves don’t bark Barking was further developed in dogs so as to shock trespassers or to help the master out (i.e. On farms to assist in gathering the sheep).
Most dogs simply bark to speak, to attract interest, or simply to show their excitement. Training and life-style are important factors in teaching the dog the easy way to communicate with its master. If you reward your dog for barking, he's going to continue to do so. The best thing is to figure out what your dog is trying to tell you and go from there.
If you've a dog that barks excessively, try to work out what he is trying to tell you. If it is out of need for attention, the way to stop the cycle is to hang about for him to be quiet and then give him the awareness he has a need for. By acknowledging the barking, you strengthen it. Waiting till he quiets will teach him that he attracts plenty of attention when he is not barking.
Some dogs are highly territorial. They will bark at not just a person approaching, but somebody they see walking across the way or on the following block. The simplest way to stop this is to distract him when he starts to bark. Catch his attention with a treat or by playing. Every time the bark cycle is damaged, it sends the message that quiet will get the maximum reward.
Making the effort to find out what your dog is communicating will end up in less stress for both you and him. He'll get much wanted attention and you will get quiet. It's a situation you both win.
If all else fails you can get a bark collar for your dog and that will aid in the training. Most of the time they learn real fast. I have a collar and put it on my dog and she recollects what will happen if she barks to loud. I don't also have batteries in it any more.
