Barking

[annejmg]

Our Doodle just turned a year old. She is Barking like crazy and driving everyone, including our neighbors crazy. She does it in the house and in the yard. Any suggestions how to stop this? HELP!

Maybe she's bored?

Our guy mostly barks when he is trying to get our attention to play. I try to ignore him until he stops and then interact with him so he doesn't start up again. If you yell back I think they tend to do it more.

If he's outside to potty and starts barking we always let him back in -- as someone who has to listen to other barking neighborhood doges, there is nothing worse than a nonstop barking dog in the backyard that is being ignored by his people.

im wondering if there s any construction going around in your area..dogs will feel the tremors that we can t and will try to bring your attention to
it..

my daughters dog lives in a high-rise in the city..during the day the little guy will start barking inside the apt..but, in the evenings when all s quite
there s no barking at all..

also, there are machines that have very high sound waves that we re unaware of...yet, quite irritating to dogs..
