The number one question I get asked is about barking. How to stop unwanted and sometimes relentless barking.
The first thing we need to keep in mind is that dogs are going to bark – that’s part of a being a dog. However, there is a big difference from some typical canine vocalization and non stop yapping. Barking is something that can be triggered by a number of things and really fortified through repetition.
In this episode we’ll go over the common triggers of barking, what causes them and how to treat them. I’ll also go into when it’s best to treat the barking problem and when you should manage it instead.
