Barking is natural, but read more to find how your dog can stop barking unnecessarily. If your dog is barking too much and the neighbors have started complaining, then you need to find a way to minimize it if not stop.

Dogs bark for lots of reasons. They may be trying to alert other dogs, protect their territory, or make noise so that people are aware that they’re around.

Why Do Dogs Bark?

Dogs also bark because they feel insecure or threatened. This could be by another animal or by humans or both at the same time.

This article will look at why dogs bark so much and how to minimize excessive barking even in stressful situations.

1. Stop Barking With Corrective Behavior

Teach your dog to stop barking through a look, a sound, or a physical action. You may want to use all three so that he will be more likely to understand what you are saying.

Say something like “stop” with a raised voice so that he can hear you over the noise of his own barking. Use a strong but quiet hand gesture, such as raising your arm in front of him so that he can see it.

Make an object available to distract him if you need to physically correct him for barking.

2. Be Calm When Teaching Your Dog to Stop Barking

The best way to stop your dog from barking is to ignore him and let him know he is in the wrong. It’s best to stay calm and ignore your dog when he is barking excessively.

This is one way you can make him stop barking without having to be rude or harsh with your dog.

Remain calm while ensuring that he doesn’t get any more stressed out than he already is.

3. Challenge Your Dog Physically and Mentally to Stop the Barking

If your dog is barking excessively, they have a lot of pent-up energy. Try taking them for a walk or playing with them to stop the barking.

If you do this in the morning and before bedtime when your dog is tired, it will help reduce their anxiety and stress levels, leading to reduced barking.

If they continue to bark when you take them out, there are some things you can try:



1) Put the leash on your dog and just let them run around in a circle while you talk to them softly to calm them down (not too loudly, or their barking will get louder).

2) If your dog seems agitated by something, try calming them by touching them gently and using soothing words like “it’s okay” or “I’m here.”

3) If your dog starts to bark at other dogs coming towards them, distract them by throwing a toy for them to chase instead of getting closer to them.
