I recently posted a video of Rollo calmly but curiously watching dogs barking on my computer.
This time I caught him calmly but curiously watching a dog walk past our house. This dog walks past at least once per day and the most Rollo has ever displayed was a tiny little huff; which caught my attention.
My reaction in that first moment is what created a dog who doesn’t bark excessively at random sounds, over the doorbell or if I approach the door or window. My plan is to keep it that way.
The communication would still be the same for a dog with a history of excessive barking; but the prevention, management and most importantly the training exercises applied would be different.
The dog with a barking addiction is much harder to reverse, but it can be done.
A dog who can watch the world go by in any environment, is a dog who is calmer internally.
A dog can be excited, and calm at the same time.
Excessive behaviours are not healthy.
Let’s chat about how to prevent, manage and de-escalate excessive barking.
