She barks at people making noises taking out their garbage or strangers in bulky coats and hats that mostly cover their faces – we live in a northern climate. She does not bark when she sees other dogs.

What can we do to stop this behavior? We have taken steps to socialize her and make sure she is properly exercised and stimulated; she is generally friendly to people, but when she barks out of the blue it is embarrassing and I am sure bothersome to our neighbors.

Thank you,
Marios

Just when we’ve got the kids to bed, the minute I sit on the sofa he starts. If in crate he barks, if I let him out he jumps and runs around the room like an idiot! He been walked, done all he needs to do etc, he just gets hyper in the evening! He’s got toys, Kongs, chew toys etc. I’m with him most of the day so it’s not like he’s seeking attention, but he is!
Any tips to calm him down at that time so I can watch TV at the end of a long day?

I have a 3 months old pup and he is mostly well behaved except when food is involved. He yelps/barks non-stop when we are eating and he doesnt get to, doesnt matter before or after we feed him; as long as he doesnt get to eat when we are, he yelps, very loudly. Our dining area is only separated by a glass door therefore he can see us so unless we eat in the bedroom he won’t stop making noise. Usually we keep him out or tether him in the house, either way wont stop him from yelping for food. And now that the noises have annoyed the neighbors, what can we do?

That is when she wants me to toss her ball. If Zeus, the Pitt, is not around this does not happen. It’s as if she is saying “don’t throw the ball for him, throw it for me!” Because of over breeding, Zeus has trouble with the big indestructible ball so he is content to run along side her and has no interest in catching it but she sees it as competition. Fortunately she stops barking on command but she does not get the ball. I put it up. Seems to be working so far and she is doing it less. In fact we just got over a barking session and she is sitting calmly at my side, pressing her body into me and seeming quite content.

Have a look at this article and/or join the forum for support 🙂

Do you ever recommend in using a bark collar? We have a 4 month old chocolate lab and she loves to hear herself talk, especially if she doesn’t get her way. We try to not let her get over excited but its very hard.

Thank you,
Hunter

I am hoping to get a puppy soon, so now I know what not to do!
