I have a 1 year old chihuahua/poodle mix dog. He barks constantly. I’ve used a water bottle, a pronged collar, I’ve locked him up, and now I have a bark collar on him, and he STILL BARKS!!! It’s driving me nuts.. And I can’t take it anymore. Can anyone help me?
Whenever someone knocks on the door, my pitbull who i recently adopted (he’s 6) a few months ago, goes nuts and wont stop barking and wont back away from the door. So i pull his choke collar, he keeps barking n he’s manage twice to acidentally nip me pretty good. Whats the best way to break this?
he barks at everyone walking by, even if they are on the other side of the road. and if some one comes to the door he is uncontrollable i need help he’s driving eveyone nuts
he is perfectly trained. he knows how to sit,stay,lie down, speak, whisper,hug, kiss, come, and roll over but i cant get him to stop barking he is a 2 year old lab/aussie mix
a barking collar is out of the question
My dog is a toy poodle and she barks like nuts anytime people come over. She likes people, but she will go crazy if she can’t run and jump on people (we keep her behind a baby gate because she gets aggressive when she finds stuff on the floor and you approach her–she will turn from a poodle into a pit bull and bite and bark and growl like a maniac!!!) Another reason why we need a bark collar. Anyways, can you find one that is that small? How much are they? Also, I am due in Feb, and if we can’t get her barking/agressive behavior under control, she will have to go. We’ve had her for 5 years–since she was a pup, and she is very sweet until you drop a sock or a piece of food accidently. Then she decides it’s hers. She has bitten my husband several times, so it’s impossible to spank her with your hand unless you want to loose a finger. Anyways, we want to break her of this–NOW. We’ve tried other methods, but none of them have worked.
We’ve tried "shh" and the can. She growls at the can, but great advice about the dog trainer! I’d NEVER thought of that! It’s fantastic–okay, now all I need is 0 bucks. Must be easy to get that kind of cash–you all have it. So, who wants to be the first to write me a check? No one? Really? Wow that is odd. Guess I don’t have hundreds of dollars lying around. It’s so easy to point fingers anonymously and crticise people, as if we haven’t been trying. I love how even though we love and care for our dog that we somehow wanted her to behave this way, and decided to raise her accordingly. I love how none of you have never had an aggresive dog. I love how you expect me to just run up to the vet and have our dog killed–the dog we adopted and vowed to love take care of like parents. (You know, becasue we want our dog dead.) This CAN be fixed. And as far as punishment goes, sometimes you HAVE to punish your dog, even if they ‘don’t like it.’ You are all worthless. Thanks for nothing.
I have a rescue dog (not sure exactly what she is, best guess is schnauzer-English setter mix, maybe with some collie, beagle, and/or lurcher) who goes into hysterics whenever anyone knocks at the door or rings the bell. She’s normally a sweet, friendly dog and loves people, but she’ll continue barking and growling for minutes after the person leaves. She has a terrier/beagle’s hideously obnoxious bark, and she’s about twenty pounds, so it’s *loud*.
Nothing I’ve done with her works. I’ve tried ringing the doorbell repeatedly to desensitize her, I’ve tried scolding her and shutting her in a back room when she goes nuts because someone’s at the door, I’ve tried praising her and giving her treats when she doesn’t go as nuts over the door, I’ve tried having her on the porch with me while I ring the bell so she can see where the sound is coming from, I’ve tried having someone ring the bell while I tell her to be quiet and lie down.
Nothing seems to work, partly because she works herself into such a frenzy that she seems literally unable to stop barking. The best I’ve been able to do is to get her to not bark at the doorbell for the five or ten minutes after we’ve been working on "don’t bark at the doorbell." The rest of the time, if she hears something that eve sounds like someone at the door, she races over there in hysterics.
Has anyone tried any training methods for this problem that work?
And please don’t tell me that it’s okay, because she’s just protecting the house. This is useless and obnoxious behavior. Seriously, who that actually needs guarded against is going to ring the doorbell before they break in?
He barks at everything he sees moving outside. Even at 2 in the mourning. Or when the kids are playing he constantly barks. Dont get me wrong I want him to bark when theres a intruder or someone dangerous lurking about but he’s driving my neighbors nuts cause they can’t have cook outs or parties without him constantly barking. Is there a way I can train him to only bark when theres a intruder? He’s a rottweiler mixed with german shepard.
It’s so annoying! He’s a lab/border collie mix and he barks at everything that goes by our house. Our house had really large, floor to ceiling windows and our curtains are slightly see-through, so he sees everything that goes by…cars, people, other dogs, birds…if it moves, he’ll bark. I’ve tried grabbing his muzzle everytime he barks and shouting "no", but he doesn’t listen. Somebody help, this dog is driving me nuts!
I have a small yippy dog (half pomeranian/ half chihuahua) and he is an absolute little darling and the sweetest thing in the world.. problem is… he has the barking problem that alot of dogs his size do.
The SECOND anyone knocks on our front door he goes crazy. He continues to bark and bark at them for the first five minutes or so that they are in the house and its driving people (and his mommy!) nuts.
Ive tried every discipline method imaginable to no avail. Weve gone months where we ignore him when he does it so he realizes it doesnt get attention- nothing. Ive gone months of yelling at him when he does it or giving him a little spank- nothing.
Im at the point where im seriously consider one of those shock collars for him.. but i just.. couldnt imagine. Hes my little baby and i dont want to do anything that would harm him psychologically or anything (hes very sensitve lol!)
Does anyone have opinions on these? advice? have you used them? thanks!
Okay….so our dog is SEVERELY neurotic. We keep her in early in the morning, and late at night. And during the day when no one is home, we put her out in the yard so she doesn’t spend the day in the crate. And the times are…the middle of day. People are at, school, and at work…and like most dogs…she barks. When she hears things. Our neighbors are jackass’ and seem to feel that she shouldn’t bark at all. If she is going nuts barking, we bring her in. But our neighbors(pretty much just one jackass) have caused us to try and stop her from doing this. So we tried training it out of her.
We tried to scold her(not hitting) when she barks, and that didn’t work. So we tried the shock collar, it worked for a little bit but…she doesn’t seem to realize that if she stops barking…it stops shocking. And what we end up with is a dog running around, frantically yelping like she is being murdered. So she can’t wear it anymore.
We are running out of ideas! Anyone know how to help her stop?
She is a miniature dachshund, and we are NOT looking to give her a surgery to keep her from barking period. We don’t want her to not bark at all, sometimes it lets you know when something is wrong. We just don’t want her to bark at EVERYTHING.
And he is just a jackass. He does yard work a lot and the dogs bark. Plus, their screaming brats are FAR more annoying.
My little dog Lacey is the sweetest little Miniature Dachshund you have ever seen but there is just one big problem: her barking!
She barks at every car that comes up our street, barks at strangers and it is driving everyone nuts! Please, I don’t want to get rid of her. is anything we can do it make it stop?
