Why Dogs Bark
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.
Howling is used as a means of long-range communication in many different circumstances. Howls are more often associated with wolves, but dogs howl too. Wolves often howl to signify territorial boundaries, locate other pack members, coordinate activities such as hunting, or attract other wolves for mating. Dogs may howl as a reaction to certain stimuli such as sirens.
Growling can occur in very different activities. It is used to threaten, warn, in defense, in aggression, and to show dominance. But growling is also used in play as well. By looking at the body posture we should be able to tell the difference. Growls during aggression are accompanied by a stare or snarl, and the growling dog often remains stationary. Play-growls occur in combination with a happy tail and a play bow to signal willingness to play. These dogs are often moving and jumping about to entice play.
Grunts in dogs are the equivalent of contented sighs in people. They can also be heard when dogs are greeting each other or people.
Whines or whimpers are short- or medium-range modes of communication. Dogs may whine when they greet each other, are showing submissiveness, are frustrated or in pain, to obtain attention, and sometimes in defense. Dogs generally whine more than wolves, perhaps because they use the whine more as an attention-seeking behavior, and are often rewarded for it. Think about it. The first sound you may hear from a new puppy is the whine at night when he finds himself alone. We often are guilty of unintentionally reinforcing this whining by giving the puppy the attention he wants.
Barking is another mode of communication that seems to be more common in dogs than other canine species. Again, this may be the result of human encouragement. Certain breeds have been bred to bark as part of their watchdog or herding duties. Barking is used to alert or warn others and defend a territory, to seek attention or play, to identify oneself.
Controlling Excessive Barking
A Bark Collar is the most humane device that you can rely on to stop your dog's excessive barking. A Bark Control Collar is an effective way to stop annoying, barking dogs safely, humanely and quickly.
Teaching Bark Control to Dogs
There are some dogs that rarely make a sound, and then there are dogs that keep on barking loudly every time. Don't get it wrong; having dogs bark is far from irritating. It only becomes a pain to listen when they bark and continue to do so for no apparent reason. Though the first solution that comes to mind is to purchase a bark control device, one must understand that telling them to shut up will not be effective on its own. It is important to couple these devices with the appropriate training.
Having to train a dog to stop barking without any device is pretty challenging. Oftentimes it is an untrained dog that makes the loudest noise. If your dog is still untrained, you better start with simple commands like sit and stay. Rewarding them for every successful command is necessary. This will let the dogs focus their attention to you as they await your command. Another way to reduce their barking is to engage them in other activities such as playing or running. The less idle they become, the lesser the barking they will make. If the barking still continues, then that is the time to get bark control equipment.
Ultrasonic Bark Control
First, let's focus on ultrasound devices. These devices stop a dog's barking using a high-pitched sound only he could hear: ultrasound frequency. An example is the ultrasonic remote trainer. This is ideal for dogs whose barking is uncontrollable but can also work with normal ones during training.
There are two buttons: one giving a positive sound while another giving a negative sound. It has a 30-feet range and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
If a dog keeps on barking on a particular spot outside your house, it will not just be you who will have problems but your neighbors as well. In such a case, you can use an outside bark control device. Aside from having an ultrasound player, it also has an audio sensor (focused primarily on dog barks). When the dog makes his first bark, the sensor detects and automatically turns the ultrasound on. This would keep the dog from barking again, thinking that it caused the disrupting high-pitched sound. The sensors can detect a bark and plays the corresponding ultrasonic tone up to 50 feet.
When inside the house, you can use the similar indoor bark control device. It has similar features as the one you would use outside, but it detects and makes ultrasound with a range of 30 feet, since the place is smaller. This is ideal for kitchens or living rooms where the pets usually stay. It also has a manual switch for the ultrasound if you wish to get the attention of your dog whose behavior has become too rowdy.
Static Correction
For extreme cases, you can fit a special bark control collar to a noisy dog. The device often has the same sensor, but it activates a mild static correction instead of ultrasound. It does the same thing without using too much power. Note that the device is still very safe to use for dogs and will only give temporary discomfort.
