Having a dog that barks and whines incessantly can put strain on even the most loving relationship between a dog and her owner not to mention the complaints and problems that can arise from your neighbors. Now, some barking will happen even woth the best behaved dog, but those who have lived with a dog that barks in excess have a few tips on what to do.
1. Become familiar with the different tones of voice of your dog. Dogs will have a range of variations of their bark and their whine. Remember, a dog will never bark or whine without a reason. Your job is to find out what the reason is.Does your dog want food? Has someone invaded his territory? Perhaps another animal or a person?
2. is your dog whining rather than varking? Whining is a sign that your dog is in distress and you need to check that your dog is OK.
3. Dogs also whine when they feel lonely. Canines are social animals, living in packs in the wild. Being alone all day while you work can make him whine when you get home. Setting aside the first 10-15 minutes to play with and interact with your dog, scratching a belly, throwing a ball, shower him with affection is a surefire way to stop the wehining in it's tracks. It ia also a wonderful stress relief for yourself after a day at the office.
4. having your dog locked out in the back yard is a surefire way to make him whine, and to make your neighbors hate you. Your dog wants to be with you and misses your companionship which is had inside the house. Your dog may be whining until you take him in whether that happens within the next 10 minutes or 10 hours. For the sake opf your dog and your neighbors, leave your dog inside the house when you are away.
Attempting to discipline a distressed dog is rarely a good idea although a dog that incessantly whines even after all of its needs are met will benefit from a stern "no" that is immediately followed with eye contact and a turning over onto the back in a submissive position. Do not hit your dog or simply put it outside as this will not solve the problem but actually make the behavior a lot worse.
