Dog problems

[-Dispute]

We have a 9 Month old puppy and a 2 year old rescue. It started off the puppybarking at somethings, such as fat people etc. But now he barks at random people in the street, leading the rescue dog to join in. The rescue is getting agressive, biting etc. They both also go mad at people in our house, well the puppy doesn't tbh but the rescue also bites and growls and barks...wth do I do??

Ok here are some tips to maybe stop your dog(s) from barking so much.

First, in most cases shouting "No" is only going to make matters worse since the dog is thinking you are barking too (and is probably happy you joined in).

Be consistent. Pick a one-word command e.g., "Enough" for the behavior you want and always use that word in the same tone of voice. Everyone in the household must use the same command and act identically.

Be patient with your dog and yourself. Changing behavior takes a lot of time, and you need to take it slowly, one step at a time. If you become angry at your dog, the chance to correctly modify the behavior will be gone.

Reward the dog for good behavior. Positive reinforcement is much more powerful than punishment. Physical punishment will do nothing but make your dog fearful of you and break down the bond you wish to have with her. Food treats are fine to use as a reward at first. Often, picking a very special treat like small pieces of cooked chicken or hot dog will make the reward seem even better. As time goes on, you will not give a treat every time, sometimes just rewarding with a "Good Dog" and a pat on the dog's chest.

Do not hug your dog, talk soothingly, or otherwise play into your dog's barking. Your dog may then believe there really was something of which to be alarmed, afraid, or anxious. This reinforces her behavior and she will likely bark even more the next time.

Control the situation. As much as possible, set up situations to use as training. Practice in short, frequent sessions, generally 5-10 minutes each.

Do not be afraid to ask an expert. Animal trainers, behaviorists, and your veterinarian can give you valuable advice. Having them witness your dog's barking episodes may give them valuable clues on helping you solve the barking problem.

Your dogs may not like strangers or they may be bored.There is a number of things that a dog could bark at for its own reason.Puppys
may bark as a result of playfull-ness.

If all else fails try a barking coller, There are many diffrent types of barking collers.

I hope this helps

My dogs ( i have 4) bark constanly at poeple and when there are noises. As there is four, they set each other off. You just need ways of rewarding them for not barking at something. And you can get special things that go off when they bark.
