Understanding why dogs bark.
Why dogs bark and different types of barking
Ultrasonic anti bark devices will stop barking dogs when used correctly. Barking is one of many forms of vocal communication by dogs and each type of barking serves a distinct function. Sometimes we want our dog to bark, because it alerts us to people or animals coming to our territory and sometimes a dog’s barking can be excessive or at the wrong time. Because barking serves a variety of functions, we must identify its cause and motivation before we can treat a barking problem.
Rewarding for barking in other words, if the dog gets something they want (a treat or your attention) when they successfully bark at the right time will increase barking. But as important it is to train your dog to be quiet on cue so that the dog stops their attention-related barking and teach the dog to do another behaviour instead. Lie flat or sit down and reward the dog by giving them something they want like a treat or your attention.
A dog’s bark changes from when they sense danger to when they want to play so it is crucial to identify the dogs barking and keep the barking you want and reduce the barking that you don’t want.
Territorial barking and defensive barking
Your dog is responding to the presence of someone or something near their home. Territorial barking intends to protect the area and make the "intruder" leave the premises. It may expand to someone or a dog walking past or near your home and the dog’s territory if left untrained grows to include the area surrounding your home and over time increases to where they have been and links back to the owner. So, the area of territory can be quite large and often neighbour dogs then work (bark) together (socially facilitated barking) doing territorial barking as the perceived threat travels through the neighbourhood. A good example to listen as the postie delivers mail up and down you neighbourhood street. Some of our Australian posties have the DAZER II as protection.
To manage dog behaviour and stop barking, you may need to block the ability to see people and animals and don’t allow your dog access to the front door or front yard.
Alarm barking and alert barking
Comparable to territorial barking alarm and alert barking are activated with sights and sounds. Although similar territorial barking and alarm barking can both be managed combining the Ultrasonic anti bark device and training.
Meet and greet barking
Meeting new people or dogs can be a challenge. Barking with jumping up can be quite overwhelming for all concerned.
Attention seeking barking and frustration induced barking
Dogs may bark excessively when they’re placed in confinement or restrained or just to gain attention.
Compulsive Barking
Repetitive excessive barking, like a broken record feels like water torture if hearing it. These dogs often move repetitively as well. For example, a dog who’s compulsively barking might run back and forth along the fence in his yard or pace in his home.
Separation barking and anxiety barking
Separation and anxiety barking occurs only when a dog’s owner leaves or when the dog is left alone. Often there are additional separation anxiety indications like pacing, furniture destruction, elimination, depression, or other signs of distress.
