Understanding the Noise
While barking is a natural form of communication for dogs, constant barking can strain the relationship with your pet and your neighbors. The key to solving the problem is to understand why they're barking.
Common Triggers for Excessive Barking:
- Boredom/Loneliness: A dog left alone for long periods may bark to entertain themselves.
- Territorial/Protective: Barking at passersby or when someone knocks on the door.
- Attention-Seeking: They've learned that barking gets them what they want (e.g., treats, playtime).
- Anxiety: Fear of being left alone (separation anxiety) or other triggers.
