EXCESSIVE BARKING 👈

Loud noises cause human beings stress. This is especially true of constant, unavoidable noise, like that which is found in a busy city or heavy traffic–or in a dog that barks excessively.

Excessive barking can cause big problems for a dog’s owners. Neighbors may file noise complaints, visitors may feel put off, and the owner may feel constantly worn down from lack of sleep, struggling to make the dog stop, and simply not being able to hear. Some people might simply say “Dogs bark.” But it doesn’t have to be that way.

When a dog barks excessively, there is usually an underlying cause. It is not normal for a dog to bark at every person, animal, or leaf that passes by their window. It’s not normal for a dog to bark at strangers or as a demand to be fed. It’s not normal for dogs to bark constantly while on the leash or when the owner leaves the home for the day. That’s why we call it excessive. Most of the time, this type of barking is due to anxiety or a protective instinct. If your dog feels threatened, overwhelmed, or anxious for any reason, it may manifest itself as this type of behavioral problem. 🐕

In-home dog training does not mean that you are bound to the home. 🏠🍃

We work both in the home, as well as in outside environments. Our training program will start off in the home, but you and your pup will eventually work away from the home in real world situations as well, once your dog is ready for that! 🐶✔️

Today is National Kids and Pets Day! 🧒🐶

Along with bringing awareness to the bond shared between children and pets, National Kids and Pets Day is meant to recognize the importance of teaching children proper care and handling of animals in their home. 👍

Although training can help eliminate behavioral issues, it is important that we advocate for our pets as well and teach our children how to interact with animals in the home as well. ♥️

Medication and Behavior 💊

Medication may help with behavior issues, but it does not solely resolve those issues. Medications can help reduce anxiety, but it does not actually change the behavior. Training is the only way to teach your dog how to change those behaviors. 🐕
