🐾 TRAINER TIP OF THE DAY: BARKING DOGS 🐾
Is your dog barking at everything that moves? 🗣️🐕
Barking is communication. Instead of simply trying to stop the noise, figure out WHY your dog is barking.
Is it:
• Excitement
• Fear or anxiety
• Frustration
• Attention-seeking
• Territorial behavior
• Reactivity
• Boredom or lack of mental stimulation
💡 Trainer Tip: A bored dog will often find their own job — and sometimes that job is barking at everything they see! Exercise is important, but mental enrichment and training are just as important.
Give your dog a job. Practice obedience, scent games, problem-solving exercises, structured walks, or simply work on impulse control.
And remember: don’t wait until your dog is already in full-blown barking mode. Catch it early, redirect their attention, and reward calm behavior.
We don’t just stop behaviors — we address the why behind them.
