My dog barks for anything -_-?

Question

My dog is American Eskimo. He barks for anything and everything, like when you stare at him long enough, when someone walks into a room, when theres someone he doesnt know, when other people touch eachother. Some of the things i understand because its for protection but I dont like when i walk him and little kids ask to pet him, they cant because he barks at them and they get scared. Help if you can!

Answer 1

call the dog wisper

Answer 2

my dog had a barking problem and as reluctant as we were we tried a bark collar..it does give the dog a shock, but my dog had it on once and was shocked with it once..if he barked once after that he got  warning beep and we told him "no bark" and he didn't bark after that..after the first time he had it on (after we removed it) and he barked, we slid the collor on the table which cause the collor to beep and again said "no bark" and the dog stopped..did that for a few days and now we just say "no bark", problem solved..i know that people think the collors are cruel, but we were at our wits end with the barking and within 1 week and the collor on he dog once it was worth it....and again we were also very reluctant to get one and tried alot of other methods...my dog loved the water bottle method though, he thought we were spraying it for him to get a drink...lol

Answer 3

He needs some obedience training. It doesn't mean he is a bad dog it just means that he doesn't know how to properly act the way you want him to. If you want him to stop barking then, if I where you, I would look up information about training a dog to stop barking. One thing that I have used in the past was a water bottle. Everytime the dog would bark, I would just squirt him with water. It doesn't hurt and it did the trick.
