Question

We have a dog named AJ who loves to bark all the time. How can I get him to stop barking?

Answer 1

I have a dog that loves (or loved) to bark, if your dog is barking for attention try attaching your dogs leash around your waist and walking around your house doing your normal routine, not paying much attention to him/her . Soon your dog will realize that he/she can survive on their own and stop bothering you as much.

Answer 2

I spray my dog--in the face--with water from a spray bottle. now she runs away whenever she sees me coming toward her with it--sometimes i don't even have to spray her. :)

i tried this before but it didn't work. this time, the bottle i used formerly had vinegar in it. i emptied all the vinegar, but it still smells like vinegar a bit....that might be helping....

Pixie barks at the mailman, the UPS truck, the Lay's Potato chip truck (i live by an Acme) and every motorcycle that passes within three blocks away. aargh.

Answer 3

lol, put a cloth on his mouth.... haha, I think there's this leash that will shock the dog if it barks.  I have a friend who has the same problem and he uses this device.... when the dog barks, the leash will give a little shock so that it will stop barking.  

Answer 4

Put a cloth around his mouth

Answer 5

when he starts barking get up and start walking towards him and tell him a firm no, then stand there and wait, if he doesnt stop say no again and step forward again...doing this tells the dog in dog language that you are the boss and you are claiming the space that your dog is in...its showing authority and dominance, because right now your dog does not see you as the leader...be consitent in whatever method you chose, your dog needs some training but i belive any dog can learn to change thier behavior...good luck.. (oh and pleaseabsolutely do not listen to the person who said to put a cloth around his mouth this is dangerous and can hurt/suffocate the dog...that wasnt funny if it was meant to be a joke)
