Train Your Dog To Bark When You Want Him To, In Two Easy Steps
from:Almost all dog owners agree that a barking dog is a good
protection and an outstanding burglar alarm, but you need the
ability to control the barking. If you don't educate your dog to
bark only at the appropriate times (fire alarms, noise outside
the window and when approached by strangers), your neighbors are
likely to resent your best friend, and you because you fail to
control your dog.
Not all dog owners want their dogs to stop barking completely,
but many want to be able to control their barking dog, and to
know that when the dog is barking is because of something that
really deserves the owner's attention. A barking dog is an
annoying dog only when the owner can't control the barking or
when the dog barks excessively for everything and at every
little thing or object.
This article will not only show you how to stop your dog from
barking, but also how to train your dog to bark on command. You
can find, in almost all dog training books or in almost dog
training videos how to stop your dog from barking. There are
multiple dog training advices on this matter, but it is not only
important to stop your dog from barking, but also to teach your
dog to bark when you want him to. Some trainers recommend a dog
shocking collar, but below I am going to share with you a very
effective method, that only uses positive reinforcement, which
is the best way to train your dog.
If you desire your dog to become security for you, teach him
the"guard" command rather than "speak" command, a trespasser or
somebody who's endangering you'll not know precisely how much
your dog knows about "guard" and it's an excellent deterrent.
This command doesn't mean that your dog will in reality attack
somebody, but the barking can be an effective prevention for
your safety both inside and outside your home.
To instruct your dog to "guard or speak" tie his leash to a
fence or some other immobile item. Stand approximately 3 feet
aside and tease him with a toy or food, when he starts to bark,
reward him.
Now put the food and toy aside and change the treat to verbal
praise once he starts to bark. The command "guard or speak"
should be given as soon as the dog barks, the timing is crucial
here, observing his body language, you'll be able to tell when
he's ready to bark.
Once he becomes mindful of the "guard" command, give the "quiet"
command when he's barking; give the reward as soon as he has
stopped barking, this is really important. If the barking
continues, give strong "no" command.
When he's successfully learned the command, move farther away
and continue the training, he needs to know and react to these
commands from whatever distance.
Once this training is successful, untie him from the fence and
continue to train him the commands "guard" and "quiet".
Trust me, you and your neighbors will appreciate this training
when they've a peaceful night, and they'll learn that if your
dog is barking, there's something wrong.
