Very enthusiastic barking

| I have no idea how to solve the problem, but your use of "enthusiastic cacophony" made me smile! My two year old likes to bark quite a bit also. Maybe it's an age thing? |
ask the vet to remove their vocal cords!

| Welcome!!! i don't know if this will be any help for you, but I'll tell you a little about my recent delema and seems to be solution.
I have two Aussie Shepherds and one OES. My OES Violet, and youngest Aussie, Asia, are barking maniacs when it is time to go to the car. They had been driving me crazy and only getting worse. So one day I decided, each time they barked I stopped and crossed my arms and looked them straight in the face and didn't move until they both stopped barking. As soon as the barking stopped, their reward was we would start to move forward again. As soon as one of them barked, once again we stopped and so on. The method is finally starting to work. Asia, the Aussie caught on first and Violet the OES is finally getting the message as well. Today, both exits with the dogs was nice and quiet and orderly. My other Aussie, China always just walks along quietly to the car. Good luck with this problem. Ps. It was kinda funny to watch when they where in their wild frensy..Asia would try to heard Violet and Violet would try to herd Asia and China.....China would try to stay right out of the whole thing. |

You are NOT alone!! Tiggy 16 month old goes nuts and barks and tries to herd (bully?) our 6 year old dalmo whenever we are going to go out for a walk or drive and also when we first get home. I am trying the "turn my back" and ignore her tactic but so far she isnt getting it. But I will perservere and hope for success like yours. |
| So what I am getting here is that I am not alone!!!!! Thank you for the going static tip, I think there is a lot of wisdom in that as, as far as our rabble are concerned, ANY reaction is a great one, and, any shouting from us is probably seen from sheepie perspective as joining in! Will keep you informed. PS: There is an interested 2yr old snout resting on the keyboard as I type! |
| We've tried so many things and they each didn't work.
We have tried training "BARK" then "NO BARK" as suggested by many trainers we have talked to ....successfully teaching it but there's no stopping our barker once she gets triggered by something outside, the other dog has his toy, or other dogs. What DOES work 100% for us is the shock collar. This thread comes up A LOT here, and it seems to be what works for many people on here. The spray collar didn't spray as consistently, so we didn't like it. Now we just have to have the remote, collar not even on her, and she shuts up. It wouldn't work as well for someone who can't be there for ever bark or the dogs were outside while owners were inside though, and without it on ...many times they will bark knowing there will be no correction. |
