My Puppy Likes To Bark

Do you have any tips on how to stop my 5-year old cocker spaniel from barking constantly?

Reply From Pauline (Web Owner)

Dogs bark for many reasons, so before trying to tackle your dogs' barking, it's easiest if you understand why he's barking in the first place.

For example, some dogs bark because they're bored or have too much energy. One such remedy would be to ensure they are adequately exercised and their minds stimulated with exciting toys or games.

Rather than duplicate advice here, I recommend you read the following articles on the website to help you decide what's best suited to your own circumstances.

There's much more on the website - just follow the links on the pages above.

Depending on how long your dog has been barking (and getting away with it), it may take a little while to get to the bottom of the problem, however, perseverence and determination will win through.

Good luck!

Puppy Barking
by: Anonymous

I used to squirt water in my puppy's face when he barked (only gently) which seemed to work quite well.
