Hello I know that I have written about this before but it is getting on my nerves I can not no matter what I say or do to stop snake from no need barking he barks if the other dog want to come in ,

he barks if my son or husband goes to the door and looks out or goes to the back yard

he barks if he wants me to play

he barks if I correct him

its getting one my nerves

no barking does not work , enough does not work, hush on and on, time outs dont work he just barks at me when I let him back out .

I am getting to think this is his way of trying to be an alpha, bossy

what do you do with a smart mouth dog??????????????????

Linda, look in "training tips and questions" for this topic. There are lots of different approaches that have worked for people. I think it is a matter of finding the right combination for the dog and owner, but I don't believe you have to live with this problem.

I totally agree. Somehow there is a mixed message. You need to find the source, and change your tactic.

 

I know with my own dog, I was frustrated several times, but once I realized that he really did not want to make me mad, or displease me, then I had to look at my signals to him. How was I enabling the behavior?

Yes he pays no mind to it matter of fact he will bark more

the main problem is we are up 6am and I have small children next door and the girl gets home at 7 from work overnight They dont need to here that mess

Shunka has never been a barker fortunately, but perhaps you can tell Snake to go and lie down, or go to his basket or whatever, if you distract him from what it is he is barking for, perhaps he will stop.

Good one Liz! Yes, another way to stop a behavior, is to give him something else to do.

I am always doing that he run around barking more iI think I have a brat a lovable one for being so timid he sure seems bossy and hates when I tell him NO! sometimes he willrun away with hackles up and even will put a growl in the YES a growl I know everyone does not like to here that but he does it

he barks back I have been bringing him in when he starts if I am out side and giving him a time out that works for a while until something bothers him sometime he does not go back out .

Maybe try being very quiet, put your hands over your ears, and say, "Ouch, Snake,...ouch."

 

Sometimes at my house when everyone is excited, the parrot is squawking, the dog is barking,...I have to get quiet, instead of loud.

 

Also, I have had to grab Coyo and put my hand around his muzzle, and quietly say, "no".

 

There is no reasoning with the Parrot....same thing, she can yell much louder than humans or dogs, so you have to get quiet to get her to be quiet. Make the purring sound.

 

Then as soon as Snake seems to understand, be sure to praise him a bit, so he is clear, that the quiet is what you want.

 

Do you ever turn him over onto his back?
