Fix Barking Fast

Joel shows you the fastest method to fix barking

[@jyotiwelry]

Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games kzbin.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

Not only was the dog not barking when you let her out the second time, but when she came out she displayed completely different body language too. Not sure if anyone caught that. It’s nuanced, but important.

[@scarletnight]

I caught that too. More well mannered...

[@oliviaskyyoutube]

Yes lol very apologetic and embarrassed 😅🥰

[@annaburns5382]

Years ago I had 4 cats that would claw at the outside of my closed bedroom door to wake me up in the morning, before I was ready to get up. I kept a large paperback book beside my bed, and when they did their clawing thing, I would throw the book at the door, and it made a really loud noise. It only took 2 times and they stopped! It works.

[@sairhug]

You've reminded me that my cure for the same thing involved getting up, opening the door, ignoring the cats completely (other than blocking them from coming in), and swiftly spritzing the lower part of the door with Ô De Lancôme eau de toilette spray (get a part-used bottle off eBay if you're not going to use it as your actual fragrance - it's kind of expensive as a pet deterrent otherwise!). After that, I'd just shut the door and go back to bed. Cats hate citrussy smells and certainly wouldn't want it on their paws. This worked like a dream for me, and though I have 4 cats, I've only had to use this 'chemical attack' a couple of times before their unwanted behaviour stopped. For any cats that persist with being vocal (rather than merely scratching) - your paperback thump method sounds good, but equally you could just put in some Hearos earplugs or play a white noise recording to drown them out and ignore them (try both!). As you've found, so long as they NEVER get what they want as a result of their unwanted behaviour, it's easy to break the habit. The citrussy spray method would probably work with a dog fussing at something it shouldn't be, too (electrical wires that can't be tucked away, for example) - but I've not tried that, yet. New puppy expected later in the year, so I may get to try it out then, I guess :)

[@signespencer6887]

My daughter’s BRT was never a crazy annoying barker but they taught her to bark on command and that fixed what little unnecessary barking the dog did

[@scarletnight]

Like what I do with my cats🤣

[@chardioic]

oh i gotta try that. the carpet under my door is DESTOYED and almost completely missing because I always let him in. I'm afraid to make any loud noise because it's usually late at night and I live at home and don't want to wake anyone. but i'l do it anyway bcause fuck it, the carpet situation is worrying my dad a lot so if this can solve it it'll make him happy.

[@annarborthenorris5455]

My dad did this when I was growing up each time we got a new dog. They stopped the habit really fast. He did it with we children also, stopping arguing noises or tantrums, or whining from a different room. We shut up fast too, lol. It works! He never had to raise a hand to dog or child. We all knew he was boss, and loved him for it.

[@Schachtens]

My wife hates when I hit the table, acting like I didn't give a friendly warning before. Maybe I should hit the table again to stop the complaining too...

[@koolbeans8292]

Great “POINT” Barking is negative behavior. You don’t reward it. And every member of the family who interacts with that dog “MUST” to do that. EVERY TIME, even when there is company. Get it over with. And we can’t be nice about it because it’s not “positive” behavior. They are NOT people. And you will get members of the family saying, “you make more noise than the dog does.” You tell them, “QUIET” too. And smack your hands. We look at animals under microscopes. Not the other way around. It’s works with cat’s yowling too. Great video. And he seemed a bit apprehensive explaining that it was not positive reinforcement. I know but really, this is about training the handlers as well as correcting the animal’s behavior. Great job “👍👍

[@RobertMoutal]

I had been struggling with the "positive reinforcement" approach for a while but my 14 week old puppy just won't stop barking when I'm in my office. I did the "QUIET... loud noise" technique, and he's been quietly chewing on his bone for the last hour without any more barking or whining. He really got startled and was a bit scared at first but I gave him lots of reinforcement once he was quiet and now he's fine. Sometimes, a little tough, humane love is needed.

[@folkgirrl]

What loud noise did you do???

[@karmabrothercat]

I can’t understand how owners have not worked that out. Thank you Joel for training and enforcing this to the owners out there.

[@rehabilitatingbuzzy3281]

This is a beautiful break down of how to recognize exactly what is being reinforced by our responses. Both the "punishing" on the door and the positive reinforcement of the quiet.

[@LacieWhy]

When I was given my rotti (she was surrendered from a parent’s coworker) she would bark wherever she was. All the training books I read said to ignore the dog as to not positively reinforce the barking. I tried that method & the neighbors called the cops on us. 😅 This method seems more useful.

[@Mxm9966]

The only advise on stopping dog barking on KZbin that actually works.

[@NoleeXC]

I have a 10 month corgi who barked at ants crawling outside. I've been searching the web for training tips and all the traditional guides have not worked. I tried this method but instead of him behind a door I cued up some KZbin dog noises (dogs barking, construction etc) to get him to bark. I yelled QUIET in the same stern voice in the video and clapped LOUD. I mean, cup your hands and give it a deep clap, LOUD. It definitely spooked my dog and I waited about 5 seconds and after he made eye contact with me, I gave him a "good boy" and a treat or his favorite toy. I did play a couple rounds of fetch with him in between new noises so he wouldn't be scared of me after the clap. He really was spooked. Now he is sleeping to the dogs barking video. Thanks Beckman!!!!

[@pavrees]

I'm learning so much through your videos! Thank you!

[@tomboywarrior3229]

I like your training videos because you treat the dogs like they have a personality and intelligence (and they have) people are to soft especially to cute things like animals, but to have discipline you have to enforce some things, sometimes.

The best and simplest method! Awesome.

Sounds ok, but takes a long time (half a day) and made it worse than better.

[@soprano67888]

I have a collie and he's pretty good.... but there are times when he sees other dogs and maybe because he is a puppy he gets excited that if the other dog barks, Dante chimes in. I've snapped the lead sideways with a quiet. This is tough. Love the methods you teach.

[@kylasbibi]

This makes absolute sense. I did the same thing to my puppy when I brought her home and put her in her kennel. The first 2 nights she was next to our bed in the kennel with the kennel covered. That first night she started to bark. When she did I said quiet and hit the top of her kennel. Didn’t have to do it but one time. I learned that trick from McCann’s Dogs on what to do the first night when you bring your puppy home. It works!!!

[@irishduchess7577]

I’m guessing this person just appreciates not being asked to do something that 99% (yup, totally did the math lol) of KZbin users know is a thing, that it gives feedback to the content creator, and further the liking/subscribing/commenting also benefits said content creator. One of the things that influenced me to subscribe is his no nonsense practical attitude coupled with training that makes sense (to me). ‘Smashing that like button and not forgetting to subscribe’ falls under the practical heading of being a given/goes without saying. I could also be projecting and my interpretation completely off base.

[@jchdaniels]

Great video, but I am wondering about other types of barking. One of our dogs barks incessantly every time we let him out in the backyard, or take him out in the front on a leash. Pretty sure it isn't fear related, he just likes barking at nothing, or any of our neighbors, or squirrels or nothing again. The positive reinforcement method for fixing this is slow, and so far ineffective.

[@Drocks027]

Our 6 month puppy that we got as a rescue at 4 months came crate trained and potty trained. The only time she has barked (at night) is when she has had diarrhea in the middle of the night, which has happened about 3 times since we have had her. She will bark when we put her in the kennel during the day (when we are eating or leaving the house). I don't want her to bark then, but I do want her to let us know if she needs us in the middle of the night. If I use this method, will she stop barking at night if she really does need us?

[@tyyy00]

Whats the approach if/when the dog becomes sensitized to it? I had done a similar thing with a bottle of water and coins inside the bottle - you shake or smack the bottle when theyre doing something and that startles them. After a couple days he eventually became used to it and ignored the shake and continued the behavior
