What will stop a German Shepard from barking, he's been to dog Obedience and still barks?
My dog gets walk twice a day until he is warn out and gets allot of attention but he continues to bark when every someone walks past my house. I've heard about the collars and I want to know if they work and which one is better, I only want to use it while I'm home because I still want him to protect my house when I'm not here. Please help
Causes for problem barking may include:
Genetic pre-disposition (certain breeds are prone to more frequent barking)
Improper confinement (a dog in a locked room, a dog crate or enclosed yard without shelter from the elements)
Lack of exercise (pent-up energy is released through barking - ruled out in this case)
Environmental sounds (other dogs, passing cars, thunder, ringing of the phone)
Boredom (long periods without playmates or toys)
Separation anxiety (a dog may bark for attention)
shock collars and bark collars: These devices are recommended only after other control measures have failed and should only be used as a final resort, when all other behavioral modification methods have been tried (particularly when the dog’s life is in question). Never use a bark collar on your dog if his barking is due to separation anxiety, fears or phobias, because punishment always makes fear and anxiety behaviors.
Teach your dog a “quiet” command. When he begins to bark at a passer-by, allow two or three barks, then say “quiet” and interrupt his barking by shaking a can filled with pennies or squirting water at his mouth with a spray bottle or squirt gun.
Have your dog neutered (or spayed if your dog is a female) to decrease territorial behavior.
Natural Remedies
Luckily there are many natural ingredients used to help lessen excessive barking and help address underlying causes of excessive barking in dogs. Herbal and homeopathic remedies can provide the solution!
Herbs such as Scutellaria laterifolia and Hypericum perforatum can help treat canine anxiety and other nervous disorders, thus providing tonic benefits for the entire nervous system. Belladonna, Cantharis and Nux vom are homeopathic ingredients used to alleviate high levels of irritability, aggression and anxiety – which may all contribute to excessive barking and behavior problems.
