Published: Dec 15th, 2008 | Author: ardhi Add Comment

Barking is a dog’s natural form of communication and is expected to be a regular occurrence in any dog owner’s home. Excessive barking, however. cannot be accepted. Not only will this problem cost you sleep, but the friendships of your neighbors as well. Excessive barking occurs for many reasons. Your pooch may be bored, have separation anxiety, or just really hate it whenever anyone approaches their territory. To be effective in your quest to stop the barking, you need to uncover the reason behind all the noise. The following tips should help you identify and correct the problem.

1. Often times, excessive barking is caused by a physical need. When Rover´s barking becomes excessive, double check to see if there are any physical needs that should be attended to. Is the weather turning cold? Try a warm bed for your canine friend. Is the weather turning warmer and increasing your dog’s need for water? Try a water bowl that dispenses fresh water automatically through the day.

What to Do if Your Dog Runs Away

Published: Dec 15th, 2008 | Author: ardhi Add Comment

It’s distressing and scary when your dog keeps running away. Often, a little bit of proactive thought will prevent this problem.

1. You can make sure your dog cannot run away by leashing them before you open the outside door. Although this is a fairly drastic first step, it will assist you in teaching the dog not to bolt out the door. When he behaves, you need to reward him. When he bolts, you must speak firmly and pull him back by the collar, if possible. Don´t scream at your dog. The tone of your voice and, if needed, a small yank on the collar, will get the point across to most dogs. If your dog has been escaping out of the house for a while, it may take some time to correct this behavior. Remember, you´re introducing a concept that´s new and different to your pet.

2. You need to be sure that your dog is identifiable and has a collar. A dog with a collar is also easier to control. A dog with an I.D. tag can assist others in locating its home. A microchip embedded in the skin of the dog is another good idea. For more information on microchips, you should contact your vet, your local police department, or animal protection agency to find out the type of microchip most often used in your area. There are several different systems, and they´re not always compatible.

Why Dogs Bark

Published: Nov 10th, 2008 | Author: ardhi Add Comment

Dogs bark. It is part of their normal and natural communication and behavior. Dogs can bark for appropriate and good reasons, such as when strangers approach our house, they hear an odd noise, or they are herding sheep. Most of us want our dogs to be “watch dogs” and alert us to anything unusual. But dogs can also bark inappropriately. In two scientific surveys of dog owners, approximately 1/3 of them reported their dogs barked excessively. To control barking in our dogs, we first need to understand why they are barking.

Types of canine vocal communication

Dogs, as well as wolves use many types of vocalizations to communicate. This communication starts very early in life. Young puppies make a mewing-like sound when they are searching for food or warmth. Louder crying sounds are heard if the puppy is hurt or frustrated. As dogs get older, they make five main classes of sounds: howls, growls, grunts, whines, and barks. Each of these classes of sounds is used in different situations.
