Sep 22, 2024 | 27 | UncategorizedDogs bark to express themselves to other dogs, to other people, or to express their deep sense of emotion when they are by themselves. Many owners are able to keep their dog quiet when they are around but when absent the dog will bark forever. Certain breeds, especially those bred as guard dogs are known to be heavy barkers. Also small breed dogs seem to bark more than other sizes.
Dogs that start barking and continue to bark about 20 minutes after you leave could be an indication of separation anxiety. If this is the case it will require some extra attention and training. It is important to rule out why your dog is barking. If they start to bark towards the end of the day, there could be a number of reasons. They could be hungry, need exercise, or need a bathroom break.
Barking can be caused by either an external or internal stimulus. An “attention getting” bark arises from an internal distress (hunger,exercise, bathroom etc.). A bark meant to sound an alert arises from a passing person, dog, or other reason.
If the dog barks because of internal stimulus, it can be trained to stop. You may ignore the dog until it settles down then reward it. You may also hold the dogs snout firmly and say in a gentle voice “Shhh”. When the dog settles down always reward him. External stimulus is harder to deal with as the dog is only warning you of a presence that should not be there.
There are a number of ways to curb your dog from barking:
Ignore, wait, and reward method.
The squirt gun method
The collar and leash method.
The physical correction method

Dogs who ignore commands do so for a variety of reasons. They may be distracted by something more urgent or exciting. Your dog may be convinced that something very unpleasant is about to follow or the tone of your voice may even sound threatening. Your dog may have no reason to listen to your command. Perhaps the last time he listened there was no verbal praise, no treat nor even a reassuring pat on the head. Perhaps your dog may not be ignoring your command, he may just not understand the command. All the above reasons may be stopping your dog from listening to your commands.
It’s quite common for dogs to not listen to commands. Most often owners give dogs very few reasons to listen and a lot of reasons not to. Have you ever seen this scenario?
An owner is calling their dog to come and the dog ignores him. The louder they call, the more anger there is to their tone. The owner is now stressed along with the dog. The dog begins to crawl towards the owner, tail between the legs and knows he’s in for trouble. The owner may grab the dog by the collar and maybe even slap the dog. I have seen this happen and my heart bleeds for the poor dog.
THIS IS WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
The above technique may eventually get some sort of result, but it is wrong on many levels. It stresses out your dog, may inflict potential harm from physical punishment and in the long term establishes a relationship based on fear and threats rather than a healthy serving of respect.
Dogs are pack animals who respond to the leader. They will respond to commands. Remember, dogs
do not speak English. It is best to create short, simple and direct commands. Even though you need to be the top dog, you don’t have to make everything sound like a threat to establish your position in the hierarchy. If the tone of your voice sounds threatening, your dog will likely not respond.
TONE, TONE, TONE!
They don’t understand you! Dogs are responding more to your tone than the actual words being spoken. If your tone contradicts your command , you may not be giving your dog a clear idea of what you want them to do. For example: if your dog jumps up on you and you push him away and giggle while telling him to “get down” then he is getting mixed messages. He thinks you are playing and therefore ignores your command. Another mistake is asking a dog to do something rather than telling. If you say “come here” in a way that sounds more like “could you please maybe come here please” then you are giving your dog a choice and he may opt to ignore you. You don’t have to yell or demand , just make your tone clear that you mean business.
Make sure your commands are simple. Keep your commands short and simple and make sure the commands don’t sound alike. Using hand signs and verbal commands make it easier for dogs to understand. This takes time and patience from both of you. By using hand signs and verbal commands in the long run this will help when your dog gets older and hard of hearing.
MY DOG STILL IGNORES ME!
When your dog still ignores your commands, it means they understand what you want them to do but are deciding not to do it. How can you tell if your dog is in fact understanding the command but has no intention of obeying? Check out your dogs body language. When you issue a command and your dog shows signs of fear (submissive posturing, avoiding eye contact,ears back, tails tucked) then it is more likely that they don’t understand. If that is the case, you can make the situation worse by being more forceful. If your dogs posturing is confident, with no stress and making direct eye contact with you, then there is a dominance issue. A defiant dog may need you to re-establish being the top dog.
