Things to Remember:
– Barking is a form of expression and and communication that can be self-rewarding to a dog. A dog should never be reprimanded or punished for barking as this can only lead to more serious consequences.
– Barking can be minimized to tolerable levels with proper management and training techniques. Dog owners should recognize the kind of barking that their dog is doing, whether it’s a single type of barking or a combination of different types.
– Keeping a detailed record of the dog’s barking is the first step in understanding and managing problematic barking.
– In cases of chronic stress related barking, the dog’s owner should understand the trigger so he can address it. Stress can come from the environment but it can also mean that the dog might be in pain or ill.
– Once a dog owner understands the type and reason for barking, he can prevent the dog from being in a situation that triggers him to bark.
– Using distraction and time outs can be effective strategies to address a dog’s barking, if used properly. Improper use of both can be translated by the dog as attention and can prompt him to bark more.

Noreen dogs are nocturnal, although they have been domesticated by human beings however they have many similarities with their closest cousins – wolves. Activity including barking can increase during night since basic traits and basic features make them do that. The best you can do for your dog and your grand daughter is to get your dog a few activities in the daytime so that he is tired dozes off in the night for that take help of dummies for dog training. Besides change the lighting pattern of the place where your dog is at night and observe which lights soothe him not to bark.

My 3 year old labrador retreaver barks at night a short as i call it a call bark have tried talking, hand signals leaving him but he eventually stops for a while then starts up again. He sleeps outside has since 9 months old, cannot come indoors as my son is allergic to dog hair, i think he is lonley i have to stay with him and do treat him to keep him quiet i know its wrong but i have to keep him quiet or he wakes my 2 year old granddaughter up. During the day he is quiet or barks to let me know someone is there i am more than frustrated, i understand he must listen but he will not be able to stay. I play with him during the day and give him as much attention as possible, any suggestions.
