When Barking is Problematic:
Barking is a dog’s main language, much like a cat’s “meow” and a horse’s neigh. The difference is that people tend to react negatively to barking.
It is important to understand that barking is a language and that expressing a language requires sound. However, it is also notable that a dog’s bark has a different effect on people and may cause problems to other people nearby. As a dog owner, you’ll need to learn to recognize if the barking has escalated to an exaggerated point. This means that the dog is seeking attention, is already stressed or has barked louder because he was not able to get his message across in a normal volume.
Regardless of the cause, it is necessary to note what kind of barking the dog is doing so that you can find a solution to it. The aim of understanding the cause of the barking is not to stop your dog from barking forever, but to minimize barking to a level and intensity that is reasonable.

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.
