How to Stop a Dog From Barking

Are you a sad lonely howler in need of "howl" to stop barking advice or:

Is there a sinister barking monster lurking inside your dog-gone self?

Can't control your barking at the wind? Have shadow - must bark! What about those ferocious shrill barks that comes right out through your very own snout - lashing out at friends or foe alike?

Here at Dog Barking Anonymous (DBA), we know how hard it is to just quit. You need training, you need care, and you need great how-to-tips and stop barking products.

Isn't it just "wooferful" that you have caregivers like mine who want you to succeed? If they didn't care about you and your barking addiction they wouldn't be reading this right now and following these tips to help stop barking dogs in their tracks.

Now... lets begin. I would like for you to take a deep doggie breath in and repeat after me.

"I am a barker" and I want to stop barking now!

This first step is always the hardest but you just did it!!! WOOFERFUL! I am so proud of you. Now go find a fire hydrant and celebrate!

But wait! Before you go... let's try this simple stop barking training technique that will help your caregivers turn your dysfunctional barking behavior into carefree tails-a-waggin' peace and quiet!

Here we go:

Dog barking at inappropriate times can become habitual and even the best of our furry friends can end up here at DBA. But if you are serious about correcting your random habitual dog barking, then here's a training tip to share with your owners that can help:

1. When we bark at inappropriate times, as a caregiver you must go immediately to him or her and with a firm elevated voice and say "NO", then quickly spritz your pooch in the face with water from a clean spray bottle. (Not to worry... this doesn't hurt a bit). If you don't want to use this water method then quickly, after saying "NO", gently flick your dog with two fingers on the top of its nose. Most caregivers and I prefer the water spritzing method. However, either method will induce an unpleasant consequence after a barking episode.

NOTE TO CAREGIVERS: It should never ever be your intention to inflict pain or to harm your pooch in anyway! A gently correction is all that is necessary. You just want your pooch to experience an unpleasant consequence; however it should only be enough to make him or her mull over thoughts of barking.

It is very important to use a firm verbal command and the spray water or corrective nose tap method every time your dog barks inappropriately.

2. Go to him immediately during a barking episode instead of calling him to you. You must do this each and every time he barks otherwise he will never learn how "not to bark".

3. You must be persistent and consistent with this training method. If you're not... your dog will be persistent and consistent with his barking.

4. Reward your furry friend when he is a quiet dog! You can offer us a treat or just playing with us when we're quiet will work just as well. Remember we may be barking for attention. So when we are quiet, give us some fun loving attention.

Yes it is possible! You can be a successful graduate of Dog Barking Anonymous and once again enjoy your caregiver's calm loving attention! Now get those tails a waggin'.

Your owners can also learn how to stop a dog from barking or even a neighbor's dog from barking with barking dog alarms. Who would have thought that you could have an alarm that triggers each time you bark! WOW... what will they think of next to help us with our addiction to barking?

As a former dog barker myself, I am all for humane ways to help us get our muzzle on. Whoops! Waz up wit dat! There I go with a bit of lingo growl from my days "out-in-da- hood!"

Anyway... if you go here you can get what my caregivers gave to me. Compared to other anti-bark products that are ineffective and shock us, these bark control units are humane and designed to help us achieve a bark free life. There's also a money back guarantee!

Below is my home video starring my brother "Tiny". You'll see how he learned to stop nuisance barking but be forewarned - Tiny is such a video hound-dog.

Anyway, you'll be able to discover more humane ways to help your dog "put a cork in it"! I mean - stop barking.

It's been fun telling my story and I hope you never stop searching for ways to control your barking but it's now time to go take a nap!

Howl at ya later! Your new canine companion.
