How can I help my Beagle stop barking at dogs at the dog park?

I got him from the shelter at 5 and a half years old, so I do not know his full history and how he developed this issue. But when I take my beagle to the dog park, he loves to chase dogs that like to run, (ie greyhounds, pointers, etc.) which is fine. However, if my beagle finds a dog that runs and the dog stops running, or if no dogs are running, he’ll start obsessively barking at the dog.

It doesn’t appear as if he’s doing it in a mean way, it just seems he’s trying to get the dog to run so he could chase. But my dog just seems so OCD about it and won’t stop. It is just annoying to the dog he’s barking at and to the other people at the dog park. What can I do to help him get over this behavior?

I wanted to help him to get over this because I have another beagle that loves going to the dog park and would like to continue take them both. Both of my beagles love running around the dog park and socializing, it’s just this one issue with him obsessively barking at another dog that is keeping me from going there as often as I’d like. Thanks
I do understand about beagles being hunting dogs and that they do bark and howl and love to chase. However, the issue I am describing seems to be something more. My beagle will bark in a dog’s face when they are not moving. It’s something more then normal beagle barking. I have another beagle that doesn’t do this and have not seen other hounds at the park do this either.

How can I help my beagle from not barking in other dogs faces when they aren’t running around? Thanks
I do not mind when my beagles bark and bay normally, it’s just when my boy beagle barks in a dogs face trying to get them to run and play. It just seems to annoy the owners of the dogs he’s barking at much of the time.

How can I make my dog stop barking/be less afraid around visitors? I think she is crazy.?

Everytime someone comes over to my house, my 5 yr old female pug barks insanely. The fur on her back and neck stand up and she looks terrified. This happens with anyone, she is fine if I visit a friend’s yard and sees the same people. She also does not like strangers in the park, store, etc. The funny thing is, she seems to like when people pet her, even the people she barks at. She’ll calm down and wag her tail while they pet her, then go right back to acting crazy. Whats up with this? What can I do to make her stop? She doesn’t seem agressive, and she has never bitten anyone or any other dog…in fact she seems to be quite happy to meet other dogs…mabe a little nervous at first. I just don’t understand it, I’ve had her since she was a puppy and shes a very pampered little girl, never been abused. Thanks for any help or suggestions!

About using a shock collar on dogs?

I have a little dog who loves to bark and a friend gave me a shock collar to use. I have a teen boy who walks the dog for me and he said it is illegal to use a shock collar in the state of Arizona. I am wondering if this is true or not.

The collar is used for two weeks and then the dog will stop barking. The collar worked for my friend and now her dog never barks.

What do you know about this???

How can I get my labrador to stop barking at my neighbors?

My 11 month old lab barks at my neighbors whenever she sees them, and I can tell it really bothers them. They’re nice people so I would like to get her to stop but I would rather not resort to a shock collar. What other options do I have?

How to stop a dog from barking?

Because it is summer now, my 1 year old yorkie-poo barks at everything that goes by outside at night (cars, people, birds, etc.) We have tried closing the windows and doors, but then she just barks at nothing.

I do not want to get her a shock collar or anything like that. What else can i do?

What can I do do stop my dog from barking and being out of control at other dogs on our walks?

My dog is a pit mix and is wonderful inside the house. She is great on walks with her choke collar, but whenever another dog comes around she acts crazy and barks and jerks me around. I am pregnant and due in less than 3 weeks and I cannot continue having these problems. She’s great with people and with children, but I cannot have her jerking my child around either. I don’t want to get rid of her because I adore her. Any suggestions?
I have tried the gentle leader and it isn’t strong enough for her. She’ll yank so much when she see’s another dog, that no matter how tight it is, it’ll come off or loosen. Is there something I could put in a spray bottle to spray her nose whenever she sees another dog to distract her besides water?

Any advice on how to stop a dog from barking at other dogs (even dogs that are 20 feet away)?

My husband and I have a Beagle that spends a great deal of time outdoors because she isn’t house trained. Whenever a person walks by with a dog, our dog jumps up and down, scratches the fence and barks/howls at them. What can we do to stop this behavior?
Our dog has already ungone "basic" training and knows simple commands and was crate trained as a puppy. But she’s stubborn and sneaky, which is why she’s outside more than inside (and the fact that we both work). So now that’s been established, is there any advice for this problem other than take her to training?

Really NEED help! 2nd time posting! Anti-bark spray collar not spraying. Why?

My dog has recently begun to howl like crazy. If I don’t find someway to make her be quiet at night, my dad will "get rid of her." So I purchased an anti-barking collar that defers the dog from making noise by spraying her w/ this harmless stuff. It’s suppose to work for howling as well.

Problem is that it’s not spraying her. Yes, she’s pretty fluffy. But she can be loud and the sprayer isn’t even hitting her fur or doing anything it’s suppose to. I tried it myself (by giving multiple loud shouts & barks into the device), & nothing happened. The only time it seemed to spray was when you blew really hard into the device, which really doesn’t help anything.Does anyone know what’s wrong w/ it? It’s a petsafe deluxe kind, & it isn’t one of those cheap ones either. & I made sure it’s on as well when using it. Some people may say her fur may be the problem. However, the device said that you can put a bandana over the fur. But this is done so that the spray will actually hit her chin (& not for the sake of the device to pick up the sound & vibrations). & that still doesn’t explain why it didn’t work for me.

Any ideas as to what is going on?Also, do you know if those ultra high pitch frequency boxes work on loud animals? Or is there anything else that’s actually effective that you can recommend. Just FYI, my dog is not a small dog (she’s like medium husky or German Shepard size).

Yes my family have constantly barking coonhound male pup what do they do?

Yes see they have two male coonhound pups but the littler one barks constantly my mom thinks its because has prob seeing but vet says hes fine. Mom’s boyfriend wants to use shock collar and I’ve given my reasons why not to use one but he wants more clear reasons or ways to stop the barking.
