Barking
Hi all. I have a german shepherd that is a year and a half old. She
is an outdoor dog and has plenty of room and shelter. She is the sweetest thing and I adore her. I also have another dog that lives outside with her. Ludo is about 3 years old. Shadow, my shepherd barks at night. All night. I could maybe understand if she was an only child, but she has Ludo. I thought at first it was because it was a new home for her and she would have to get used to it. She had been outside in her 2 previous homes as well. She is happy and friendly. She just barks. I have tried working with her to teach her "hush" and rewarding her when she is quiet. It doesn't work. The only thing that does work most of the time is a bark collar. The static correction type. I hate to have to use that, but I can't have her barking all night. I have heard my neighbors yell at her. Does anyone have any advice on how to quiet her? I have tried putting her in a smaller pen with the dog house so she didn't feel she had so much room to protect at night, but all she did was escape and bark. Please help! Thank you. |

The best way to keep an "outside dog" from barking is to make it into an "inside dog." Is there some reason you think the dogs can't come into the house at night? Why must they spend the night outside? flick 100785 |

Thank you. ========= Bring the dogs inside with you. The dog might feel that it wants to do its job protecting you and is unable to do that job, if kept alienated outside. Obviously, the dog is miserable being kept outdoors, so bring both dogs inside with you. No one wants to hear a dog barking all night; it will make the dogs , you and the neighbors a lot happier if you let them sleep indoors near you. Sooner or later the neighbors are going to report you to the police for disturbing the peace and the dogs might be taken away, so bring them inside. ------------------- |

Too bad not enough to let her live in the house. I also have another dog that lives outside with her. Ludo is about 3 years old. Shadow, my shepherd barks at night. All night. I could maybe understand if she was an only child, but she has Ludo. Oh joy! Must be great to be your neighbor. The only thing that does work most of the time is a bark collar. Why not just LET HER IN THE HOUSE? -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |
