Help my dog’s barking?

Kelli M asked:


My husband and I have a 3 year old schnauzer/pug mix who only barks when “an intruder” comes in the house. This should be good, right? Well, it would be except for the fact that he does it every time someone comes over. Or if he is left alone, he barks at any sound he hears, like knocking or voices in another room. We are moving into a new apartment on Friday and we are afraid that he will bark when we are gone. Any suggestions? We really don’t want to use anti-bark collars. He has done a little bit better now that we got him a friend (our daschund), but we think he continues to bark to alert us. However, he doesn’t stop unless we stand right by the cage and tell him to stop. This works, except for when we have to leave. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Stop your dog BEFORE he starts barking. You’ll have to work with the pooch for a few days with a friend that’s willing.

    If he’s just barking at anything you need to walk your dog. Not for 3 minutes like usual. I’m talking half an hour at least at a good pace.

    And…you keep your dog…in a cage……..??? what the hell’s the point of even having a dog if you put it in a cage?

    de-bark him. I do recommend getting another dog, he is probably trying to attract attention, because he is not getting enough. Getting this poor dog would surely do the trick.
