I Don't Know How to Quiet my Dog

My dog will bark when someone comes in, when the door bell rings or if a phone rings also. But we simply give her the command "that will do" and she stops. To get Chole to this point may take some training. When someone enters your home, have a box of Chloe's favorite treats near. You will need to call her into another room and give the command, then give her the treat. The diversion from what she is barking at should be enough to make her stop barking. If this does not work you will have to isolate her from your guest. Make it so that she can not see them, otherwise she is likely to continue to bark at them.

Hope it helps you Kill chloe it is the best way to make him quite..

Training is one of the best thing to let your dogs be obedient. But socializing or exposing your dog with other person is also one thing that helps your dog stop barking. Are your dog is on a cage/chain? If possible don't tie or lock the dog on a cage. Have you tried walking out with your dog? Please so, let the dog explore a little... Hope this can help...

hey i know you are sick and tired of your dog barking 24/7.You know what you can try sprinkling some water on her.I have seen that are just too scared of water. If you will shower her with water then you won't see her barking but you will see her siting at some corner quite and calm or may be scared but it will do the job of making it quite.

Hi KC..I know how you feel, believe me. I have two dogs that have the "barking disease" lol, and when one barks, the other chimes in, even if he dosen't know why he is barking. They do the same as yours, people outside talking, doorbell, loud cars or truck passing, pretty much anything. I went to this site and got some good info so am passing it on to you..I'm even thinking about a trainer if things don't improve!! My neighbors all hate me!!! Good luck! http://www.dog-obedience-training-review.com/how-to-stop-your-dog-from-barking.html

well i dont know about that but but just keep trying i thik if u train her a little better she will stop , you can easily look up training methodeds and that will help you a lot!

Hi KC. I also have a Jap Spitz with me for almost two years now. I did not train her of any trick that other doggie got from their owner, but then, she seldom bark at people passing by nor our visitors coming in. Instead of barking, she will wiggle her tail and try to be friendly with my visitors. She only barks at dogs passing by with their bosses. The only thing that reminds her every time a friend comes in or people passing by is 'a pat on her head'. I use to do that until now and perhaps she believe that that means 'it's ok'.

dear k, when the dog begins barking, scold her with a firm "Quiet" "Enough" "Quit it". when he again barks, use a spray bottle filled with water also use a displeased tone and repeating your chosen command. the tone of your voice is very important. it has to be assertive and strong. your dog will keep doing at first so dont give up. stay calm and repeat your negative-toned "enough". never hit the dog unless it is part of a struggle to break up a fight with another animal or a person. if she stops barking, have her perform a previously learned command (i.e., sit), then praise her but not as soon as barking stops because she may believe you're praising the bad behavior. a little pat on the head will be very welcome. try it. good luck. ann

Hi K!. Every dog tend to bark to stranger, he is try to protect you. My dog tend to do that too. I usually just come and tell him every thing ok, go back to play. training your dog is important if you can not your self. Its sound silly but talk to your dog usually give a result.

just say stop! or i'll trow u away lol =)

oh, it's a headache problem. but i have the opposite opinion to you. i like dogs and i like dog barks if somebody unknown go through the side of us because it can make me the feeling that i am the owner of the dog. LOL, am i too special?

You have the cutest little dog! But it hurts me to hear that you feel the need to spank your dog. I too have a little dog who likes to bark and I want to tell you how to help the dog stop barking...but it will take a lot of work and time to do this. Training your dog to stop barking at every little thing will take weeks to do but it will be worth it in the end. 1st you must "Interupt" Chloe everytime she barks, you could use a dog treat, favorite toy or clap your hands loudly, once she stops barking praise her and tell her she's a good dog. Only give her praise if she stops barking. I had to stop putting food in the dog dish and keep treats in my pocket for a week to make sure my dog was always a little hungry and motivated to be good dog in order to get food. the trick is to get her attention away from whatever she is barking at. soon she will learn to stop barking. I am a big fan of the hit TV show "The dog Whisperer" on the national geographic channel, you should try watching on "you tube" Please stop spanking your dog, this just makes your family pet fearful and upset. Don't lose your temper, dogs are a lot of work, but well worth the effort. GOOD LUCK!

I think you have to spend more time with her. I do not know how old she is. If she is quite young, she might change her habits in course of time. Her problem seems to be undue fear. Your presence and and your love for her may bring her peace and courage. Talk to her in a mild voice. She wont understand it,sure but she would understand that you care for her and that will help her retain her lost peace. I am not an expert. But I love dogs a lot and I have never encountered serious problems in handling them.

I will either pour it little water on its body so that it will start to dry itself by liking it out. So that time will be quiet. Or you give it a lot of bones to eat so that by focusing on the bones, it will not bother to bark. You can also use the mouth peg for dogs to close its mouth for that time. You can also begin to train in a way that it will know that you are displeased with it at that time.

now, this is just a joke: get a cat. she will not bark anymore as she will be hunting... serious: get someone to instruct her, a professional. it is better for someone who knows all about dogs to help you. it is the only way. my dogs barks as well and we can not do anything. but the bark in normal limits.so, it's ok for us. good luck, anyway...
