Barking is a perfectly natural and normal behavior in dogs, but that's
not a good enough explanation for most angry neighbors and napping
relatives. It's both unfair and unrealistic to expect your dogs to
become mute, but here are a few steps to turn down the volume.

Steps

1
Step OneTry to determine why your dog barks'eliminating the cause will
increase your chances of success.
2
Have your dog's favorite treat within reach.
3
Praise the dog for barking once he starts by saying 'Good job' and
then 'What's the matter?'
4
Tell the dog, 'Be quiet.'
