I live in an apartment across the street from a middle school. Every day the dogs stare out the windows and bark at everyone walking around. They even bark when they hear a rustling outside and neighbors walking in to their apt.I have tried everything. Rewards for being good, slapping their butt w/my hand and newspapers, and even a stern "NO" doesn't work.Am I literally a bad dog parent? I keep them in good health and exercise, but I can't train them to stop doing the one thing that annoys me.
Sorry hun, dogs bark.. birds fly.. bees sting... It's things you just can't change, or train for the matter... You can my a (VERY INHUMANE) shock collar, the shocks them when they bark, but, thats WRONG
I too have a dog who barks...alot. Drives me crazy. If you get an answer please let me know. And I have one of those shock collars. All we have to do is tap it on the table and he shuts up but not for long. He must know I am talking about him hes barking now.
Sounds like you tried conventional correcting(though hitting your dog never works btw). You might have to resort to a training(shock) collar for your dog. It's not a nice thing at all to use, but a smart dog usually only has to be zapped once to get the idea.
either take them to a trainer, or buy a shock collar, it may sound mean but it will train them to bark when YOU want them to- when someone knocks on the door only
I know same thng with me they never could stop barking! Well I tried basically everything you have tried and it still doesn't seem to work. I guess it is some sort of natural habit or something! Well please let m eknow when you find out!
Train yourself not to talk and you might be on to something.They are trying to alert you to potential threats to keep their pack safe. Its what they do. But, you may try teaching the command "enough".When they bark, get up acknowledge what they see. Tell them they are good dogs. Then them away from the distraction. If they bark more tell them enough. Repeat as needed.
