When is Dog Barking OK?
That is the question you have to answer. There are so many remedies to getting your dog to stop barking. Many people have many suggestions, some suggest muzzling the dog, but you can’t do that all the time, it will help the dog barking but the dog still as to eat and drink. Some people train their dogs not to bark from the time the dogs are puppies. Then the dogs don’t bark at all. Same result for the electrical and sound emittance collars the dog learns not to bark. That is all well and good but there is just one problem.
The problem is that people don’t realize that dogs need to bark. Barking to them is like talking for us, it is how they communicate with us and other dogs. The purpose of training your dog not to bark is supposed to be not to let them bark for an extended period of time but you can’t train a dog not to bark at all.
Dogs bark when they are hungry as well as when they are thirsty. They bark when someone is at the door, they bark when need to go out and they bark when they need to come in. They bark when they are happy to see you and they bark when there is danger. If you train a dog not to bark at all, then the dog can’t warn you of danger because the training tells him not to bark.
Check with your local vet, see if they know of any one system that can help curb the amount of barking your dog does not the fact he is barking at all.
