Keeping a dog is a big responsibility whether towards your own family or your neighbors. Raising a dog gives happiness but it would be unpleasant if it’s affecting everyone’s life. So when the dog is getting excited and keeps on barking, owners must do something. How do you keep your dog quiet and behaved? Let’s take a look at these six clever pet solutions!
1. Exercise Consumption Method
Exercise is known to be a good universal cure, whether you have insomnia, from a relationship break-up, or feeling lonely and alone, as long as you do exercise then you can achieve certain results. Letting dogs exercise will deplete their physical strength but also make them mentally satisfied. When you’re tired, you’ll go to bed. However, this approach may be a bit less effective for natural “athletes” such as Dalmatians and Golden Retrievers. Unless you’re a sportsman.
2.The Blind Approach
Dogs are affectionate, the more you pamper them then the more they will be dependent on you. But, if you don’t give them attention then they will likely feel uninterested and won’t bother you .Of course, the success rate of this trick is almost zero for impatient dogs. If you are still in the training period, remember to use this trick during the day because if you use it at night then your neighbors might reproach you. After all, it’s going to be terrible at first.
3.Attention Diversion Method
Many dogs bark because of boredom. You can tease them with their favorite toys or bones when they are barking. Most dogs will immediately run to grab their toys leaving you “hanging”. If your dog’s favorite toy is a rubber toy that makes a sound when your dog bites it, then don’t choose “screaming chicken”!
4.Noise Stimulation
Dogs are particularly sensitive to hearing, and some stronger noise may be unbearable for them. So, when the dog barks then give a stronger noise, which can be stopped by stimulating it several times. Of course, you can’t let your neighbors misunderstand you’re scolding your dog, so let’s be a good owner.
5. Taking Control Method
You need to prepare a small iron container with some coins in it. When a dog begins to bark, use the container and shake it hard around his ears. The sound of the coin collision will make the dog stop, and a smart dog will remember it. Of course, the small iron container should be carried with you, and this method is more effective when the dog just starts barking.
6. The “Violent” Solution
If things are getting out of control then try this final method, which is the “Violent” pet solutions. This trick is very effective for both dogs and cats. When they are getting unstoppable take a water gun to stop them. For small dogs and cats, this method can be considered a trial and error. But be careful not to hit their head.
Parents can do a lot of things when faced with dog’s non-stop barking. The above pet solutions should be adopted according to the actual situation. The last thing to consider is that criticism and education must be appropriate, and corporal punishment must not be imposed on dogs.
