Coins in the can just made it worse...so he thinks you have joined him in the barking. Smart boy.
So why is he barking is it
L- Look at me-somone anyone pay attention to me
O - offensive barking-Get out of here now
U- Under employed- I have nothing to do
D- Defensive barking
E- Enthusiastic bareker- Do I need a reason
R- Reduce- my -Dependence Barker- where are you??
So figure out what it is first then and then you do the next steps
Y-Yield a little
E- Eliminate the cause
S Systematic Desensitization
T- Take awa the reward
R- Reward an Incopatible Behaviour
A- Accuulimate the dog
I- Improve the Dogs assoiation
N -Negatives Notice the negative in training to stop baarking is last not first
as in using the can of pennys
So first figure out why then you can go from there and do the next steps.
So for look at me- I get a leadership program starter like nothing in life is free.
Offensive- are nothing to play with, you need help
Under employed the dog needs games and work
Defensive barkers are scared dogs an they need help to gain confidence
Enthusiastic barkers - need to be toaugh things that are incompatable with barking and a dog can not bark laying down.
reduce depenency is a dog with sepration anxiety and should be treated for it.
