Quieting a barking dog is a simple process and fast. Really. It is also the cost of money. But it is not obvious process - witness the many dogs barking all the time in parks, backyards, street corners, with their owners pull their leash and yelling and the dogs completely ignoring their orders. My dog made me mad, until I learned to stop his barking.
My dog barked and whined all the time, and 'was a competition (Husky) who was known for the production of aa lot of noise. The situation was particularly acute when the doorbell rang and saw strangers. It was almost impossible to stop once it starts, and if it was another dog, forget it - my dog would Yap head, until the dogs were disconnected and out of sight.
A weekend, but my friend was visiting. He worked at the zoo in Chicago and the animals knew better than anyone I've ever seen. In an hour they had my dog is completely calm, and she taught me how to do it too.An hour to solve a problem that I was crazy for the last three years!
The secret is not intuitive. Before teaching the dog to bark (!) My friend thought I was crazy when she told me this. Apparently my dog barks because he barked and whined all the time. But she explained that while my dog barked a lot, could not bark on command. At first taught him to bark on command, and then she taught him to keep quiet on command. The entire process took less than an hour.My dog is very intelligent, so that it can take your dog for longer, but still, there is a very effective technique, and now that is two years later, my dog does not bother me. What a great afternoon!
There are two elements at work here: positive reinforcement and intermittent reinforcement. Positive reinforcement teaches the behavior and intermittent reinforcement maintains the behavior permanently. negative reinforcement is not only a strong inducer of behavior. negative reinforcement, ascollars or "no" is to some extent, but some studies have shown to be about 10 times less effective than positive reinforcement.
All they did was very clear and precise, the part of the reason he got his results were so fast. Results may vary, but the clarity and precision can be everything to do better.
First, a long walk with your dog to give him a lot of practice. Your dog can not learn when everything irritated.
Their teachingDog barking: So get a box of goodies. Then watch your dog. If he barks, immediately praise him and give him a reward. Do not have time to elapse between the bark and treat '. Soon he will bark a lot. At the moment, the behavior is coming before the cue. conduct the first form, then add the cue.
Teach your dog to bark on command, "Go away for a few minutes and come back. Ignore his barking and ignore everything he does. Right there, donothing, not worth it at all, not even looking at him. It may take a long time, but calm down at some point the dog to stop barking and start doing his own thing. Once your dog calms down and stops barking to start work with him again. This time, to give him a treat when you say "speak" and point to him and he barks. 1. Verbal command and point. 2. Cortex. 3. Reward. Do not give him a treat to bark only on his own. This part will be a bit ', but willfinally understand the command. You are rewarded him for the conduct that is already predisposed to do, you're just a command to associate with him.
Learning to be calm your dog, "go away for a few minutes and then go back. That will probably be barking a lot when you come back, but once again, remain completely calm and not reward at all (no praise, no contact with eyes, nothing). As soon as he stops barking, slowly count to five for themselves. You may have to wait long before he would stop barkingenough, a complete set of five, but it will happen eventually. Once you can count to five, without barking, then reward him with praise and a treat. Note that at this point, the behavior goes before a keyword. conduct the first form, then add the cue.
Learn your dog to be calm on request: to hold for a bit, 'until the behavior decreases, and then add the command. If he does not bark, keeping the hand as if it were reported to arrest someone, and say the command"Quiet." If he is quiet, then gives him a joy and praise. So the order of 1 The voice commands and gestures. 2. Dog is calm. 3. Reward. Soon your dog will be quiet on request.
After a while, 'this is not necessary to treat, and verbal praise will not be necessary every time. Praise at irregular intervals, intermittent reinforcement of the image, and is very powerful. Intermittent reinforcement works better than if you reward the behavior of each individualTime.
Soon you have a dog go completely silent when you tell him to do!
