If you tend to the needs of the pup , then I find that the dog calms down much faster then trying to stop the behavior in a negative way . I would also suggest using positive reinforcement . If you respond in a "excited" alarming way, then your pup is only going to become more alarmed and bark more. OR he is going to become very fearful. |
He just started barking at his toys when he plays with them, when he wants out of his pen, I think he just discovered he can be quite loud when he feels like it
