Cures For Your Barking Dog

Does your dog bark all the time?

Do they bark when you are not home?

The issue with a dog that barks too much is that it is not only an issue for you, but it can become an issue for your neighbors as well.

If you notice that your dog is barking excessively or if your neighbors seem to be getting annoyed with your dog, it is time to take action.

Common causes for barking are:

• The dog is left alone for long periods of time with no interaction.
• He doesn't have much to play with. He does not have enough fun toys to keep him occupied.
• Younger dogs have lots of energy. He may need an outlet to release the energy.
• Certain dog breeds have a "herding" mentality. They need a job to keep busy.

So what are some cures for these issues:

• Take your dog for a walk each day. This helps improve your bond with your dog and releases excess energy.
• Give your dog some interesting toys to play with. Perhaps a toy that is a bit of a challenge. The kind of toys that have a treat in them can keep your dog busy for extended periods of time.
• If you are absent for extended periods of time, have someone come by each day and play with them and walk them. Hiring a Pet Sitter is a great way to improve the daily health quality for your dog.
