Dogs barking can be a real problem. Neighbors complain, police come for noise complaints, and destruction of your house.  Try these four tricks to get your dog to stop barking:

1. Leave the tv or radio on when you leave. This will dround out the sounds of things going on outside.
2. Quarantine your pet to one part of the house. Dogs have an instinct to protect the house. The less of a perimeter they have to run, the less anxiety you will cause them.  Dogs are DEN animals. They like to be in small environments. Think about Dog Houses!
3. Leave them with a chew toy that will last a long time. Try a kong with peanut butter inside, or a cow hoof with soft dog food inside and then frozen.
4. Last, there is a citrus spray collar that you can have your dog wear when you leave the house. Each time he barks a light spray goes into their face. They hate this and will soon associate barking with an unwanted reaction and stop.

Hope this helps you!  Of course, having a pet sitter come in the middle of the day to exercise them and wear them out might help as well! Call us today 480.330.4552
