Hey Dog Lovers,
Today I talk about one solution for a very common behavior problem owners have, Barking. Most dogs bark to alert their owners which can be irritating.
My first recommendation to solve this is to capture the dog when they are not barking (quiet) and tell them “good quite”. Although this does take some time it can be a good way to teach them what you expect of them. Another way to stop barking is to redirect the barking to a toy or a positive interaction with you which is way better. I would avoid treating if possible so they do not get in a habit of barking and then getting a treat. The next step would be a anti-bark device. I have compiled a list of some of the best devices in 2018 to help. I have had many clients use these devices as a last resort and they have done wonders.
How do they work?
The anti-bark device has many variations. And like any other device or gadgets, it’s important to buy tested and certified devices only. If you’re looking for a high-quality and effective anti-bark device, then it’s your lucky day for not only I will discuss, at great length, the importance of using an anti-bark device correctly, but I will introduce you to 10 of the safest and most efficient devices on the market as well.
