Thanks for watching How to Stop Puppy Barking - Training Tips! Based on what you learned in the video, tell me one reason why you think your dog may be barking.
It seems my pup is afraid of any sound outside! People talking on their porch, cars driving by and anyone walking near.
Stranger anxiety and sometimes a call and response with other dogs in the neighborhood
Excited
my puppy 9 months old barks at sudden noises, people outside talking loud noisy vehciles delivery trucks, nabours slamming there door
she seems to bark really loud when she isnt getting what she wants.
I got a puppy a week ago and even though I researched for A YEAR beforehand, I was not prepared for how exhausting he would be. Two days ago he started barking, mostly for attention I think. Like when I'm using the bathroom?? It's so hard to tell whether he genuinely needs something like go potty or is just looking for attention. I know the best thing to do is ignore him but I live in an apartment building, so the fact that a bunch of neighbors are being disturbed just adds to the stress. I'm gonna try to power through with your tips!
We are happy to help you! He's barking for a reason so instead of ignoring him, it's best to figure out what he's trying to express. We can help you as part of our online course if you'd like some additional support and guidance! www.howtotrainadreamdog.com/puppy-perfection-course-learn-more/
Thank you.

That's ok! We are all brave new learners. Now you know a better way to handle barking!
A lot of great tips . 😊
Thank you for your feedback! Stay tuned for more.
This video our is attention barking ..I use your tips thank you
You're very welcome!
Great information!!!
I think 🤔I may have got a bit more out of this if you were to provide an example of each situation?
Cheers 👍
Thank you for watching and for your feedback!
Thank you for your advice and channel. Sorry for the novel here! I have owned many puppies/ dogs and took them all to professional group training classes. My new puppy starts one on Sunday Dads Day. I have a new puppy that is 13 weeks old, and I have had her only two weeks. She is a rat terrier which have a huge personality and are very active, and some say are barkers. That hasn’t been my experience. I have owned two rat terriers puppies and a jack russell puppy, all two years apart at the same time. Ok this rat terrier is definitely MORE vocal than all my other dogs combined. She barks for attention. She barks when she drops her toy and wants it to jump back up to her. she barks at me when I eat my meals, and wants my food instead of hers. She barks for me to play, non stop. She does not bark at people. She doesn’t bark at people ringing at the door. She doesn’t bark at other animals, cats ducks birds or turtles out at the ponds or woods. I walk her six times a day, even though its summer blistering heat in FL which is demanding since I work full time! I even take her to pee the 14 times a day she asks to go out by sitting in front of the door. she is not barking at frightening things, she is barking to demand something from me. 😩 I stop her by playing if I can but cant play during the 8 hours I am supposed to work even though I try. she is super smart, was potty trained on day 2 and crate trained to go on her own by day 3. We started sit, down, and drop it. She is easily trainable because she is food motivated. I live alone and work at home and thought I have the time and energy for her, but maybe was dumb idea to pick a puppy. What can I do to stop her from barking at me when I am eating. I have not had a hot meal in weeks now that she needs so much attention. I tucker her out and put her in crate while I cook my dinner but maybe she needs to stay in there until I finish eating. I imagine she had her mom and siblings to play with all day and she misses them. 😔
Hi Cheryl! Hang in there! We understand your frustration and we want to help you with that barking for sure! It is extremely important to get to the bottom of why the dog is barking so you can then put a plan in place to address it. As part of our online course, you can learn how to better be your puppy’s “detective” and understand the behavior - we'll link it below.

This is such a great video, I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m getting a puppy in 3 weeks and we share a privacy fence with our neighbor who has 2 very aggressive barking dogs, and I really don’t want my puppy to become like them! Do you have any videos on how to protect your puppy from bad influences? lol
Oh that's a really great topic. We don't have a video on it but it will be important that you work on expsoure training in the yard and not let pup have access to that fience. Here's a video on exposure training czcams.com/video/5hXnQyxwVUY/video.html
I woul like to thank you for your professional and inspiring videos, I learn a lot from you!
I have a 3 month old labrador puppy, and I am not sure yet what the actual cause of the barking is, but everytime I have my phone in my hand and talk with someone or take a picture or video from him, after a while, he gets excited and starts to bark or "attack" the phone. I guess he needs attention or is scared of the phone. What do you think? What would be the correct behavior from my side to avoid this phenomenon?
You could try desensitizing your pup to the phone! Give your pup treats as you show them the phone in a training session and with repetition they will start to associate the phone with something positive.
I haven’t eaten a meal without him yelling at me in months ! Watching the video now !
We hope this video was helpful!
Lol! ok so its not funny, but how you said it was! 😀Thats my new pup exactly!
Great information. Just an acoustical suggestion....turn down the background "music" or eliminate it all together. It becomes a distraction.
Thank you for the feedback!
My 7-month old mini poodle puppy barks and whines when one of us goes upstairs (he's confined to the main floor of our house). He also barks/whines when in his ex-pen or in his car crate. He has done this since he was w to 4 months old. I interpret his barking as "attention" barking and expressing unhappiness at not being with us. We have simply ignored him, but the behavior hasn't improved much. Only recently he has started coming up to one of us and barking when he's bored. We usually take him outside to his potty area just in case.
You are right to ignore this attention-seeking barking. We would love to give you some ideas on how to move forward in our howtotrainadreamdog.com/FB-group. You can post your question there and our team members as well as lots of other puppy parents will have some advice on how to help you!
Separation anxiety and boredom for sure!
Have you seen our video on separation anxiety? czcams.com/video/aMXLc5CHtJk/video.html
Great video.. I adopted 2 labradoodles from the same litter. They are 13 weeks and 2 days old today. The girl is a barker. She barks the whole time I take her brother out for a walk. Not sure if it’s the right diagnosis but I think it’s separation and attention issue barking. I just started to give her a treat after 3 seconds of quiet and then say quiet and praise her. I hope this works.
Thanks for watching! We have another great video all about raising littermates that could be super helpful for you. Check it out: czcams.com/video/p_RDIS9yoVo/video.html
How are your pups now? Any tips? I have 2 x 14 wk old (boy and girl) they are sooo much work! Does it get better?
@@leighaustinritter they are 1 year and 8 months now. They are just now starting to calm down. We did some professional training. We bought a 3 class package. We did the puppy training and the intermediate class then took a break because we waited to spay and neuter until they were at least a year old. We have recently been talking about how it’s time to start scheduling our advanced training classes. The female is the quiet one now and the male is vocal. We were in over our heads until the obedience training. The best advice I can share is to get some professional training. The work you put in on the front end will payout in the near future. It’s time and money well spent. Also take lots of pictures because they grow so fast and looking back at the cute puppy stuff is so nice to see and reflect how far they have come.
Thank you for great information in the video.
We have a 7 month old daschund puppy. Goodness, she barks at everything and everyone. It has become insane. Everywhere we go she barks. And not in a nice way. She gets wild, almost like she is charging at the target. We cannot stop her or distract her at the moment of her barking because she goes crazy. We cannot take her in walks or trips. It has become a huge problem. Please help!
It sounds like she's not ready for those environments and needs more work seeing things from a distance before she's ready to be closer to the triggers. It sounds like you would really benefit from having a trainer work with you and your pup. Here is a directory that might be helpful:
www.ccpdt.org/dog-owners/certified-dog-trainer-directory/
fearfreepets.com/resources/directory/
Mine also barks/growls when someone is near the door and enters the house. The only way he stops is by distraction but as soon as they move he starts again.
This is very common. Treat this like fear barking: counter-condition by teaching your puppy that the stimuli of people near the door mean good things. It's important to work on this outside of the time that you need it.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog wouldn’t it only reinforce the behavior to give them treats, and what not. I’ve been attempting to employ this method and it hasn’t worked as of yet.
People wearing baseball caps, sometimes her reflection in glass (fireplace, mirrors, etc.), and sometimes people on TV freak her out! Thanks!
Hello, thanks for the great video. Do you have a video that addresses a puppy barking at another dog. I have an 8 week old puppy and an 11 year old dog. The puppy will bark at the older dog to try and entice play (older dog generally ignores her). It gets quite loud and frequent, I'm wondering how to manage that other than making my older dog go sit in her bed to calm the pup. Many thanks!
Yes, we do have a few videos on how to handle puppies and older dogs. You can check them out below.

Introducing a Puppy to a Dog: czcams.com/video/RDKKyCTdX4I/video.html
Additionally, it sounds like you guys need a management system in your home. This can be baby gates, puppy pens, crates or even separate rooms! The goal is to prevent this behavior as much as possible, then from there you can work on teaching her what TO do instead!
My pup barks out of fear, excitement, and the dreaded mail man theory! DX Korra can "start" a barking fest in the entire neighborhood...because she got scared of a tiny dog on the OTHER side of our fence! X'D or because a leaf blew by... -.- XD
I litterally just started the video and it made my puppy pug bark 🤣🤣🤣
Your pup is excited by what we have to say!
Attention attention and more attention hahah
lol, well knowing is half the battle right? Going forward you'll want to be more aware of when you're giving attention so you're not accidentally reinforcing behaviors that lead to barking.
Stimulus, response.
@@mskatedagreat Yep- dogs are really that simple. It's up to us to teach them the response we would like them to have.
My mini Austrailian Sheppard 3 month old puppy barks at my 15 year old 12 lb multipoo
Barking is a form of communication between dogs. If your older dog doesn't like it, then you'll want to work with the puppy to have better manners around the older dog. We call that "neutrality" and you'll want to teach the Aussie to be more calm in the presence of other dogs.
Hi!! My dog has been with us for a week now, we have a big wall mirror at the house and he has been looking at it for the week without a problem. Now he is barking at himself Trough the window and won’t stop!
For now you'll need to put some kind of film on the mirror or block off his access to it so he doesn't build this as a habit. Eventually you can slowly expose him to the reflection while rewarding him for being calm. We go into more detail on this concept in this video: czcams.com/video/URRYUpqhdfg/video.htmlsi=cF3Naj6ADixWc79Y
I recently got a one year old Chiweenie who is wonderful! However, we live in an apartment building and she barks at everything. When I take her for walks she doesn't bark at anyone, not even dogs! But as soon as we get back to the building she barks at ever person, dog, and sound. It can be so bad she can't even hear me calling her to stop. Why does she only bark at the building and in my apartment? How to I train her to stop?
You can treat it like fear. When dealing with fear in puppies, the best course of action is to identify the fear and work on counter conditioning techniques to help your puppy overcome their fear. This means we want to set up controlled training sessions where your pup can remain calm yet receive positive reinforcement when the trigger is present, yet at a distance or at low volumes. One great technique we use is to find a similar sound on CZcams and play it at a low volume while giving out training treats or kibble. When you start the sound the treats are delivered, when you stop the sound, the treats stop.
Hey! Great video, but I have something to clear out. Our family got a few weeks old puppy (I don't specifically know how many weeks).
He kept barking when we put him in a room and closes the door. At this moment, we have guests arrived in our home, so some of my family members are sleeping on the floor and he can't wander around the house freely at the night. (He usually wakes up in the middle of night). He barks so high pitched while scratching the door. I am not sure if its seperation anxiety or not, since he is separated from her mother, but it has been almost a 2 weeks since he came to us and it was totally fine few days ago. He barks more and more day to day. So when we opens the door and let him walk around or when someone plays with him or sleep him on their tigh in the room which its door is closed he stops barking. It's so hard to sleep at night these days, because of him barking T_T What do you think?
It sounds like you might want to help your pup be comfortable in a crate or pen, and rest and relax when he goes in. A crate is the safest place for the puppy at night and when you aren't home. Here's our recent video on crate training to get you started! czcams.com/video/rnMFXmzh_Cc/video.html
@@HowToTrainADreamDog tank you so much!
i have a pomeranian puppy and she always barks and growls for mostly FOOD, attention and sometimes when she gets anxious. I tried ignoring her when she was barking at me while i was eating for attention but it gets worse and worse. I also taught her the command “wait” with treats at the same time but she doesnt really listen to my commands. i was thinking about taking my dog to a family vacation with me in the airplane but im really worried about her barking and growling in the dog carrier for 4 hours… What should i be doing to stop this barking?
Once you have figured out the trigger for the barking (sounds like it's attention or food) you can get ahead of it by teaching her what you want to do instead. She might need to learn something like "go to your bed" or "sit/stay" while you're preparing the food. Teaching these things involves practicing outside of the time you need it. Until you can help her with new habits that don't involve barking we would not suggest a trip with her.
He barks because he is frustrated that he is not getting what he wants (food, treats, food that I am preparing for myself, getting out of his pen, access to chasing the cat) or he isn't getting it fast enough.
Try to get ahead of the behavior by offering an activity before he has to ask for it. You can also teach him manners when it comes to food, including sitting nicely on a mat or asking for food in a different way (bumping your leg, sitting on your foot, etc). Be careful you're not reinforcing the barking by looking at him or talking to him. That's why we have to try and get ahead of it so it doesn't become his habit to get your attention.
Thanks for the words of wisdom. I think part of the problem is that I am addressing the issue as you instructed, but my husband isn't . He plays right into it, making shushing sounds and telling him to be quiet. When Fenway is in his pen and can see my husband watching TV or on his tablet, he barks much more. I showed him your response to my question, so we should now both be on the same page. 😊
My puppy is 5 month but doesn't really bark at anything at all... Is there anything wrong with him ?
Nope, some puppies don't bark and that's just how they roll! (I'm sure the other viewers of this video are very jealous of you!)
Veryyy.....
I had a basenji/border collie mix and she never barked! Basenjis do cute vocal sounds instead. At some point we had neighbors whose dogs would be in the backyard all day long barking. She learned to mimic their barking. But rarely used her bark the rest of her life.
Now I have a golden retriever puppy. I’m startled by the amount of barking he does in comparison and he doesn’t bark often!
@@viralynn8120 Nevermind my question.... He's 3 years old now, even barking at the fly landed on my neighbor's window 😂 Very alert, but never barked at us. Only uses his paws if he wants something. Btw, he's a Great Pyrenees

Mm , my puppy (about a year old) barks and barks whenever we play fetch. Specifically she barks when she just retrieved the toy, ran back to me, and wants me to grab the toy to throw again.
However when I go to grab the toy she grabs it back, and that's when she barks. If I fight for the ball though, she bites at my hands. So I let her keep the ball and bark. I want to play a fun game of fetch but how do I get the dog to 1) stop barking and 2) get her to release the toy so I can throw it again, and 3) stop biting at hands?
In the BONUS section of our program we have a lesson on BITING and how to get your pup to drop toys. howtotrainadreamdog.com/puppy-perfection-course/
My dog is the same. He is a bulldog so you think he’d be lazy but he’s not. He is relentless with fetch and would play it all day….accompanied by barking
My 5 month old pup has changed from evening zoomies to barking and standing by door to hallway/kitchen, which is a different door than to go outside She may just be hungry as if I hold a treat she stops barking and then statrs again if to say "more"
We will have to put on a puppy detective hat to figure out this behavior. Feel free to ask this question in our FB group.

My dog sees people, other dogs, bikes, strollers behind our house and across a big field and barks
She also barks and jumps when she wants to play with people walking by us
I try to distract her
Inside I try to redirect her
Pup barks excessive energy wants other dog to play with her but not real concerned yet as pup does not do it a lot and she is only 10 weeks old but your channel rocks
Thank you! Yes this is totally normal, but can get into a stronger habit if not redirected/reinforced correctly.
I got two puppies and one is WAY faster thanthe other. WHen the slow one gets behind, or looses a bone he wont stop barking.... It's frustrating...

Hello I came across your video because I was looking for information on how to help my 2 years old dog to stop barking at random strangers. A good month ago he start going to a dog daycare for nearly 2 weeks. Since then he barks at random people when we go for walks. Before he wasn’t a barker unless someone strange came to the house; but now when I take him out for a walk at time he barks at strangers even if he doesn’t do it all the time. I am not sure how to stop this behavior that he didn’t have before. Thank you
Unfortunately this is a common response to doggy daycare, which can be overwhelming and promote bad manners. It's better if you find another option for him, like a pet sitter or walker dropping by if you'll be away from home for a long period. Helping him feel more comfortable with people will be done with a counter conditioning process. You can learn more about that here: czcams.com/video/mgPViZGH3sY/video.html
Thank you for the advice 😊
My dog barks when I teach the “down” command. I’m not sure if I taught him that or if it’s too close to his play bow and the bark comes with that. He is 3 months.
We hope this video was helpful!
My puppy is 10 months now. I also have the training course as well, but it’s taking me a little longer to complete it. My puppy only barks at my daughter and guests when they enter my home. How can I train her to stop this? At least for my daughter
No worries, you can take as long as you need to complete the course! We would love to help you in our Puppy Training with Michele Lennon Facebook group: howtotrainadreamdog.com/FB-group Please feel free to post your question there!
my dog barks for play all the time, even after a 20-30min play session. he will also bark whenever I'm eating something (his way of begging I guess). I try to ignore the barking and then reward the quiet but my goodness he will constantly bark for about 10 mins straight sometimes more. Living in an apartment I feel so bad for my neighbors having to constantly hear my dog bark. I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place with this one :( I'm thinking maybe training him to go into his crate during meal times might be a good step. He is also not quite old enough for walks yet since he isn't totally vaccinated yet and my complex has a ton of dogs and owners who dont pick up after them so I can't risk taking him outside untill hes fully vaccinated (only a few more weeks). I'm hoping once I can take him for walks, he will in turn calm down on the barking.
Having exactly the same issue 😟 I know it’s really irritating but hopefully both our dogs will grow out of this habit eventually. My puppy is 15 weeks old and will bark extremely loudly for sometimes over 10 minutes as well in her crate for attention. We make sure she’s not hungry, doesnt need the toilet and isn’t injured/anxious. It’s so annoying!
Check out this video for ways to socialize your pup before vaccines! czcams.com/video/E4kACXtyP-o/video.html You can also try these canine enrichment games inside to mentally tire them out. czcams.com/video/Lvz2gRIRKJg/video.html
So my NEIGHBOR'S dogs are outside all day and bark and everything and everyone. I am getting a new puppy in 1 week and our potty spot will be in view of these dogs. I know these dogs will bark their heads off at my new puppy while he goes potty. How do I make sure my puppy does not bark back at them and/or prevent him from barking at them in the first place?
It's really good you're thinking of this before your puppy comes home. Can you block off the sight of the dogs with some kind of fence cover? That will help. The next thing to do is to begin sound desensitization. If you do this *before* the puppy starts to react to the barking it will be easier for you. This video will guide you through how to do that: czcams.com/video/jgEKSpmUoc4/video.html
My 14-week old German Shepherd pup barks at people walking past us on a walk or walking past our house. I call it her "Pay Attention To Me" bark
hello, i just got a 1 month old japanese spitz mix and shes really playful and vocal, and every time i take her out of her favorite room in the house she stays there and keeps barking until i let her inside. how do i stop this?
See if you can figure out what she's trying to communicate. This video might help you: czcams.com/video/NEMLgcuyWBQ/video.htmlsi=_VweNvFRUTVPfqLo
i have a puppy shih tzu malthezer almost 8 months old. he barks a lot to get his way. or about a bone bone who has a fellow older dog shih tzu lhaso apso and thus eventually releases the older dog bone bone through the barking and he runs off with it. His barking is mega hz frequency because of thunder in your head you get a headache.
That doesn't sound very relaxing at all! If you notice certain toys create more conflict, it's best to give them to the dogs when they are separated.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog they are those chews for the teeth / teeth. Other toys, that's fine. the older dog does not look to play with other toys does not care. Puppy and senior dog only conflict over that chew for teeth. If the older one has it, then the puppy must have it and will bark at the older dog and it will drip off and then the puppy has won and runs off with it. while both pup and old dog have such a chew for teeth. The puppy will and must have that of the older one and ignore his own.
Hey! What happens if I made the mistake of telling them to quiet for the past few days? Now when she is in the crate she barks like crazy, and she only barks when she is alone. As soon as I walk into another room she barks. Part of me thinks its separation anxiety
Please check out this video if you think your puppy has separation anxiety! czcams.com/video/2gSQe2hTrE4/video.html
When I start making the noises that indicate she's about to be fed, she goes nuts barking.
The best thing we can do is teach them the behavior we want them to have, and where they should go, when they hear that stimuli. We go over this lesson in our course, 30 Days to Puppy Perfection: howtotrainadreamdog.com/puppy-perfection-course/
Mine is a 12 week old puppy. She only barks when she wants to play.
That's great!
oh my god this is so hard. every idea comes with another video to watch and each of those link to 5 others. the link in the description just gives a daily email with more video links every day. i feel so hopeless, it feels insurmountable

My 2months old Belgian M puppy is always barking with my other dog and cat also to the kids. I don't know if she is scared or wants to play with them but I don't want my puppy to play with them because she used to bite when happy. She is so aggressive she even bites my hand once.
Many new puppy parents are concerned about aggression, but often it’s normal puppy behavior, which includes nipping, biting, barking, and growling. The difference between normal behavior and aggression is that the intent to harm is missing from the equation. Puppies often nip and bite at moving objects including hands, kids and pants legs. Puppies growl and bark when they want to play or in an excited mood. The context of the situation plays a huge part in determining if we have normal puppy behavior or something more serious going on.

We brought our 8 mo old Coton pup home just a week ago. He seems very skittish and excited at every new sound. This is a real problem when we try to turn on TV or watch a video on our iPhones. We have exhausted our knowledge of how to correct this behavior. Can you help?
For more specific questions regarding training, we recommend you post your questions in the Puppy Training with Michele Lennon Facebook group: howtotrainadreamdog.com/FB-group
Attention
My 4 mo old chi barks at sounds in the house that happen, and things he sees and hears outdoors
This is common, and it's good to start working on this as soon as you see it start. It's easier to address if it's not a long-held habit.
I have got 5 puppies. They are 2 months old golden&setter puppies. And 2 of them are parking very loud. As I see, they start barking when they are playing with each other and the game became a kind of fight. What should I do to stop such kind of barkings?
Barking is not something we can solve in a simple post or one video. We have to understand the full context of the barking behavior to figure out what we can do about it. This video is meant to help you get started and our online course can help shape the behavior to something more harmonious with your home. As part of our online course, you can learn how to better be your puppy’s “detective” and understand the behavior.

I got my puppy out of nipping easy but he has changed it to barking .he barks and his brother follows .but what is confusing is they will bark at anything in the day time even if someone comes into the room ect but soon as I go to bed they don't bark ,even if someone walks down stairs makes a big noise ect they stay quiet (you would think if they was going to bark they would do it any time and not when I'm awake )
It sounds like we might need to adjust the exercise (mental and physical) your dog gets each day to help get rid of pent up enegy that can make a dog a little edgy and barky when they hear noises going on outside the home. Do you use a white noise machine, as well?
No I don't use a white noise mashing ,he is a hyper dog so will give him more exercise .wasent sure how much he needs as he is so tiny .thank you for your advice I will definitely use it
Hey, I also have a dog that does the same thing. He’s a 1 year old gsp and barks at nothing or in his crate or alone in the backyard. But when it comes to night he’s quite and doesn’t bark in his crate. Did anything help to stop the barking?
Maya
No they bark more and at when one starts the other joins in .but only when I'm in eyes view .had a family member come over for Christmas and every time she moved they barked at her .I'm not sure if it's a excited thing are a protective thing towards me since they don't bark if I ain't with them
I can’t seem to find any suggestions when I take my six month old Morgie puppy out in the stroller and while he’s in the stroller, he barks at other people and dogs. I do feel he’s barking at a fear, but he definitely seems aggressive. I see no instruction on how to train this away.
This is a highly individualized process that requires knowledge of canine body language. It will be important to change his association with other dogs and people into something positive. This is done from a distance where he can remain comfortable or neutral at the sight of these things. This video can get you started: czcams.com/video/mgPViZGH3sY/video.html
Hi, My dog used to be super playful and friendly to other dogs (except German Shepards). But for the past month he has been barking and growling at some dogs. My husband has a theory, which I'm not sure is true, he says our dog doesn't like dogs that pee in our front yard. Could this be true?
It's pretty normal for dogs to smell other dogs' pee, but it could be the beginning of resource guarding. It could be discomfort or fear as well. You can work on some desensitization / counter conditioning to dogs at a distance where your dog can remain calm. When he sees the dog he gets a treat. When the dog goes away, the treat goes away. That's how we change a dog's association with a scary or uncomfortable thing.
Roosevelt barks because he thinks he sees something outside or sometimes actually sees something. I think he is trying to warn us about what he sees, or think he sees>
Ah yes, our proud guard dogs. What would we do without their warning about the leaf floating by?
@@HowToTrainADreamDog That happened to me the other day. My pup was losing her mind barking. I go outside and see what's going on... a big leaf. In her yard.
My puppy barks when she is in the room alone and when she sees strangers in the backyard!
You can counter-condition this with a friend's help!
OK. Will give it a shot. Thanks!
My dog barks when I leave any room that we are in she does not want to be alone and I have been slowly leaving her longer and longer. Using doors in the house baby gate Etc. She just doesn't want to be alone for even a second not even outside to do her business she's now 9 weeks old we got her at 6 weeks so she is used to not always being allowed by my side at every waking moment she's always barked and still continues she doesn't care that she has her toys or treats she only wants me. I have tried since day one to have separate time, in a separate room(might feel like she's missing out on something 🤔) so she can get used to being apart I understand I'm her pack leader but she needs to know that I have to leave the room sometimes and she can't always come. She is a husky / Shepherd mix, not sure if that makes a difference
Make sure your puppy experiences safe alone time on a regular basis. Your puppy shouldn’t be with you 24/7, even if it starts with only 1-minute sessions of just walking in and out of the house or room. This video can get you started on the concepts: czcams.com/video/aMXLc5CHtJk/video.html
HI Michele, i think my puppy is barking at my son when he comes home because he doesn't like the sound of the door slam as he enters or leaves a room. How do i help this?
Oh no! We would say to start with some desensitization. We'd love to help you a bit further! Could you post in our Puppy Training with Michele Lennon Facebook group? howtotrainadreamdog.com/FB-group
@@HowToTrainADreamDog Sure, let me do that.
Hi Michele - Just one correction to your video. "Blocking Game" is located in Modular II - Manners and Safety," not Modular I as mentioned in the video. :) Warmly, Toni Perry
You are correct! Thank you for pointing this out!
Daisy barks at people approaching. She is 5 1/2 months old and I wonder if it's because she ha not had enough socializing
It could be that she's uncomfortable due to lack of exposure or just her natural temperament. Working with her away from people at a distance where she's not reactive will be the right place to start.
…because there are a few dozen birds and squirrels right out side our full length glass door!
ATTENTION Starts and stops seems based on I NEED LOVE
If you can try to fill your puppy's emotional cup before he "asks" for attention, you might help minimize the barking. It sounds easier said than done but if you need help, let us know!
My dog is 8 months old. He used to bark at everything as a puppy. Literally sound of door, drawers opening, any sound. From exposing him to all those things that make him bark, now he's pretty much okay with things and other dogs.
He barks at people though, he doesn't bark at everyone. When we are walking he doesn't bark. At home he keeps barking at the same people, who work in my house. Is this bored barking?
Also when I am driving, and the car stops (at a gas station, parking lot), he barks at anybody approaching the car.
I am glad I have been able to cure 90% of the barking but I want to know how I can find out what causes him to bark. He also seems to bark more when I am around, so it's either fear or guarding thing.
As a side note, I live in a majority moslem country, and they are not allowed to touch dogs. I think this is one of the reasons. Because of them avoiding him trying to sniff, he gets suspicious?
If he is barking at people in your home it could be for a couple of reasons. 1) he is seeking attention and has recieved it in the past form others 2) could be concerned or anxious with the people (even if he's familar with them)
As for people approaching the car... this is something we help our studens with. There are several variables we want to disucss and work through. It's not a cookie cutter approach as each dog responds differently. If you'd like more help with this please let us know.
My puppy used to go crazy when she heard me on the phone and have bitey zoomies I have gotten het better now though she still whines a little and barks sometimes by having the person on phone whom she met and goes on walks with her in past talk to her and she wags her tail Still a way to go but at last I can make calls now.
Awesome progress! You can teach her what you want her to do when you're on the phone. That will help her not bark or whine.
My puppy will be 8 weeks Thursday. He barks when I stop petting him and when he wants attention. But even after we play & after a big pet session! I don’t know what to do.
Hey there! Unfortunately, barking is not something we can solve in a simple CZcams comment or video. We have to understand the full context of the barking behavior to figure out what we can do about it. Dogs bark for a lot of different reasons and depending on the situation, it may not be as simple as teaching the dog to be quiet. Simply suppressing a behavior can result in further behavioral issues and can actually be rather dangerous, not to mention unfair to the dog. We recommend you join the pro-level of our online course to work with one of our certified trainers on this issue!
My puppy likes to sit in the window and every time she see someone walk by or is in the adjacent yard she constantly barks. I have to close the window because the incessant barking is annoying. Any tips?
Yes- this is the mailman theory, which we go over in this video! For more specific questions regarding training, we recommend you post your questions in the Puppy Training with Michele Lennon Facebook group: howtotrainadreamdog.com/FB-group
She usually barks when she hears a knock on the door, what can be done about that?
Same thing as fear: counter-condition by teaching your puppy that the stimuli means good things. It's important to work on this outside of the time that you need it.

I have a lil puppy. And she barks when I’m on my sofa. I think she might want to play
Barking to get your attention is common but definitely something you want to address as soon as you see it start. Try to predict her needs and meet them before you settle into the sofa. You can also teach her to settle on her bed at the time you're settled on the couch. Here's a video that can get you started. czcams.com/video/iqvyiCYXQvY/video.htmlsi=msBqqzRoyXq_-MSn
@HowToTrainADreamDog I want him to stop barking because he is tied up , but i want him to bark when there is stranger orr visitor to the house
That's a highly specific skill to train. We don't recommend leaving dogs tied up outside. The more he barks, the stronger this habit will be. You might need a positive reinforcement trainer to work with you.
my new puppy has attachment issues and my mother put him in the pen for the night and wont stop barking any tips
It sounds like your puppy isn't ready to be in the pen. Have you heard of our mini course on crate training? It contains the training games that can help your puppy be comfortable when in the crate or pen and you step away.

I've been very lucky with my five month old since I got her on December 31st. She's only barked outside in the garden once since I got her. That's the only time she's barked outside of play time since I brought her home.
Many other puppy owners viewing this video will be very jealous of you!
@@HowToTrainADreamDog even when I bring her for her two daily walks she never barks.
He wants in the living room with us
If you need help teaching him to be calm and quiet in the pen, this video can help you! czcams.com/video/1W4MOolQBYc/video.htmlsi=VI0iYHxqWhsJ2JxT
I tried ignoring my puppy when he barks but I turn around and he starts biting me. I understand he’s a puppy so he uses his mouth a lot/bites a lot but it’s exhausting.
Ignoring the puppy doesn't teach him what you want him to do, and doesn't get to the root of the barking issue. New puppies are definitely exhausting! If you'd like some guidance, consider our online course!

Hi so my family and I are getting a dog really soon, and I was wondering if I put our dogs dog bed in side of the crate or should I just put a pee pad?
That's so exciting! Actually, neither. The bed can be a choking hazard and the pee pads can encourage peeing in the crate. Check out this video for the best crate training set up tips: czcams.com/video/Y6u73XN_rYQ/video.html
@@HowToTrainADreamDog Okay...Thank you!! Update - puppy is home!😁❤️🐾
He barks at other dogs and people and growls at them to bit at the park or vet, etc.
So sorry we are just seeing this comment now. I apologize that we didn’t see it sooner. We hope all is well with you and your pup.
My puppy barks at the cat how do I get his attention when he doesn't know his name yet
You can use a fun noise (like a kissy noise) or a light tap of your leg or even a shuffle backwards. These are all ways to get your dog's attention. This video can also help you with puppies and cats: czcams.com/video/ZOsH97V-9SU/video.html
My 6 month old lab barks when other dogs come to say hi to me. Even if they are dogs he sees everyday. It seems like it's becoming more aggressive and he even lunges at them. I think it's a mixture of insecurity, overstimulation, and he is protective over me. It's a little overwhelming and difficult to work on when other dogs are involved.
You're right, what appears as aggression is actually a result of a mixture of various behaviors. To work on this, we suggest finding an animal behaviorist who uses positive reinforcement techniques to help you and your dog find a solution.
My cockapoo puppy is around 11 weeks and will bark when I’m not sitting on the floor with him, he will Jump, bite, scratch, bark very loud and so sister and runs around until I bring him up on my bed or I go on the floor with him. Help please 🙏 😭😭😭😭😭😭

😂.. I am trying to make my dog bark at strangers .. Is there any way for that..
So sorry we are just seeing this comment now. I apologize that we didn’t see it sooner. We hope all is well with you and your pup.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog yeah absolutely fine😍...She used to bark at cats I added a cue word 'Check 'to it.After few weeks when I simply commanded her to check she used to bark... That thing I converted it to humans😁..It took time... But it worked... So after a long time,now she barks frequently.If not barking at someone I simply tell her the command and she obeys it😁Posting it as this method worked really
You can't make a Gaurd Dog through this method... But for some people this much is enough😁
I think, most of the time, she's barking to get my attention. She usually whines when she needs to go out but now that I know the difference and how to start to correct it, I think she'll do it less and less.
It sounds like you got a great takeaway from this video, that's awesome!
i become so enraged when i hear him bark, I want to be comfortable in my own home, i wipe his butt and he wont listen to me. but this helps i will take the advice
It takes some "detective" work on the part of the human to understand the barking, but that's the first step to working on it.
My dog barks when I say "ouch" when she nips at me
It sounds like she thinks you might be looking for some kind of play or engagement. Most of the time humans can't say "ouch" in a way that the dog understands as "please don't" so it's best to remain silent. Have you seen our new video on biting that has some great suggestions? czcams.com/video/FBI5xOSDQMs/video.html

My puppy is always been afraid of every little sound from cars to other dogs,birds even in her own backyard🤯 never had a puppy with so many bad habits and since 6 weeks when we got her there have been boundaries rules limitation lots of brain games and walks and it's still nothing seems to be enough she's barking at us nipping us barking every time I leave a room we tried the reward system when she was doing what we asked she knows what we're asking now it's she just decides sometimes she'll listen when she's in the mood and the other time she'll pretend she doesn't know what I'm saying but still expect a treat so that backfired

He barks at any noise
It seems like a daunting task but you'll want to start with the desensitization of each noise that you know is a trigger for him. It may seem like a lot but the barking is likely an indicator of stress. Here's a video that describes that process: czcams.com/video/jgEKSpmUoc4/video.html
