Should I bear with the loud and noisy barking of my dog...

I agree with the first respondant - you dog should definitely not be tied up outside all day. That is bordering on animal cruelty! And as for his bark -that's what dogs do, they bark! You can't give him away because of that. I think you should try and stimulate your dog more and maybe consider letting him sleep inside at night - we let our dogs in to sleep in the kitchen at night time and that has stopped any barking that used to continue! good luck with this problem.

I don't know what to say. Since I am not a dog person, and I never own a pet before. I knew how it feels to have a dog next door, and it constantly barking. It really irritates me sometimes, so, before your next door neighbor would do anything, try to sedate it, and not let it bark at night time. People may need to go to work the next day morning though.

No just give him a good pat on the back....ha ha I also have a dog which is like your dog. I use to beat him when he barks. Now he listen though I don't beat him. Just use light strength.

My dog barks really loud. Compared to other dog, I feel like her bark is really too loud. I have the same issue with my dog, she's only familiar with the family members, the rest are just nuisance to her haha. I have the dog for almost 5 years now and is always sleeping in my room. Whenever she makes a loud bark, I usually hug her and touch her fur, that makes her more relaxed. I do this even if in the middle of the night.

I also consider my dog a part of the family. Indeed it is truly embarrassing if the make unnecessary noise especially if the people are asleep in the night. If his reasons for barking is only when he sees other dogs, then maybe it's a good idea to keep him somewhere he can't see other dogs.

Don't give your dog to others, try to your best to correct his behavior. I figure your dog is over evergetc, and have no sense of security. My dog Emma marks when some one walking or talking in front of my house. I adopted her when she was 1 year old, and she was timid at that time. So she barks when she are afaid and want to scare the one she was afraid. I told her "it's ok, don't fear" when she was barking, then she stopped barking and go to sleep. I often take her to have a walk in the street to make her become braver, and she now chages a lot, but it takes a lot of time, please be patient. You must find out why your dog is barking and give him some confidence and warm. A good TV show " The Dog Whisperer" is a good program for you to learn how to correct the wrong behavior of dogs. Would you like to watch it? Wish it can help you! :)

Hi Mercedes, I had the same problem with my 2 years Pom. Later I understood it was not the problem with dog, but the problem in our owners. I love dogs so much, so i grabbed a puppy. But there are lots of things we should aware while growing up from a puppy. A proper training is necessary to rise into a obdient and disciplined one. When we train it from pups, they follow us well and some dogs though have barking nature, but will control when we command them. But I have got him in my control. So you can make him listen you, by understanding his likes and fears. Give his best favorite foods when he starts to bark, divert him by giving a jumbled rope, a meat inside a closed transparent bottle. So he will keep him occupied with it and once he finishes his job, give him is favorite food. This is one of training him from barking all time. Second find out the one he fears, say my dog when i say cane is here, he sits down quitely and a loud voice of 'No' is commonly dogs gets feared. In my experience, there is nothing dogs cannot be trained after 1 year. How badly you wanted to make him good and how much you can find ideas, makes your dog so lovely. Dont think of giving him away, its same as our kids and we need to find solution, believe me, you can do it with your love slowly with lots of patience. Cheers!! Post your dog pic too.

Same here, I also have a dog who is always tied up. But I used to free her as her treat after eating her meal. She also is a loud and noisy barking dog. She would bark to anything that is moving: cats, chickens, cows, frogs, cockroach, lizard, people, cars, anything. She would not stop barking. But my and family and will just call her name then after so many years of doing that, sometimes she will listen then keep quiet. Don't give your dog to other people, you will surely miss him. Try to talk to him if he is calm, I'm pretty sure dogs can understand humans. As time pass by your dog will get used to his environment.

Well don't give him away,just train him. And spend some time with him. When you get an animal, you make a commitment to them. So get a humane no-bark collar, read a training book, take him to classes, whatever you need to do in order to teach him his manners. If you have the dog tied up all day, that's a huge clue to why he's misbehaving. The poor thing needs love and attention.
