when your dog does all three of these barks🤦‍♀lol but why she totally came for me with the "quiet! quiet!" tho😂😂😂 I definitely needed this video. Thank you McCann Crew!

[@Rls_0523]

You're fortunate. Mine barks at the back fence all the time. There's nothing there. I tell her stop, quiet, come...Nothing. Sometimes I can tell her "bring me your ball", "bring me Bob", or "bring me gator" and she'll get whatever toy I request and bring it to me and I'll play with her. But far too often she'll hesitate a second and continue. Part of the problem is I can't remove her with a leash, because she's terrified of them. We're working on it, but can't wait until that's fixed to work on the barking, so I don't really know what else to do. 😥

This is so incredibly helpful and you break things down so well! I have a back off barker in my hands thank you. Could you please do a video on how to deal with it when outdoors too ? I’m going to put this into practice x

[@calebkent4756]

Man, we have a buddy barker who is about 7 months old and it's soooo hard to do this. He is a border collie/chow mix and his persistence in barking is just larger than our patience most times! He is SUCH a loud barker and will go over 30 minutes straight barking at you if you ignore him, never getting a good place to slip in and give him more to do. He also has WAY more energy than us.

[@MichaelChelen]

For anyone else with a buddy barker, 11:40 describes non-ignore options. Remember that 7mo is still a puppy.

[@cotter9751]

Thanks! I'm totally new to dogs, recently adopted an adult from the Shelter, and I'm learning so much from your videos. We'll be ready for Obedience Training at this rate. :)

[@lilsav812]

Thanks so much for this video. It has helped me realise my dog has a mix of 2 barker types, bored and the scared barker. This has helped identify how I need to behave to help her. I think all the explanations on what we do and what the dogs point of view is to our reactions, was super helpful. Thank you.

[@beckywiththefrizzyhair]

This is seriously amazing. Such simple explanation and correction. Thank you so much!

[@joannaocello]

Wow! For the first time someone has given me a full understanding of the bark types and solutions that don’t involve treats. I’ve been saying quiet and rewarding, comforting, and nothing has worked for our 11 month old Frenchie. She’s a back off AND buddy barker. Can’t wait to try your techniques first thing tomorrow! I’ll report back! Thank you!

I have three dogs in my house, only one is mine and shes a little ringleader. She does all three and gets the other two going. Ive been trying for five years to get her to stop but now that Ive got another puppy on the way, this video is a saving grace. Ive seen so many other videos that just dont explain it as well as you guys do.

[@hellabella8295]

My dogs are very protective and when they see someone .. up a ladder because my fences are high.. I don’t say a word.. I calmly walk in front of them and they stop barking immediately and I make them go on the verandah and calm down.. the second they calm down I walk away.. we don’t have to say a word.. it’s all attitude.. calm and assertive attitude.. This woman is good.. and her advice is refreshingly helpful.. and I hope more people watch her..

[@julierogge9931]

OMG! Instructor Carol, this is amazing. It seems to be working right away. I have 2 young border collies and their barking has been a big issue. I have been trying but have accidentally reinforced it in some of the ways you describe. I thank you. My neighbors thank you.

Back off barking solved! Watched this video last night. Workers came to the house this morning, usually my German shepherd goes crazy. I acknowledged what he saw and redirected to him finding his ball. He didn't bark the entire time they were working. Thank you so much!

You are a life saver. Already tried the back off barker solution, and it worked. Thank you.

[@xavi9933]

You're the best, my German shepherd puppy of 3 months started barking at night when he hears the door of the house got open or so, I was glad and encouraged him, but then I started to wake up, go walk to the door and show that there's no risk, and return back to sleep,💖 he's a gem, except for biting my foot and long dresses 😂

Thank you!!! We got a precious little rescue doxie mix last week whose barking was out of control. Even someone standing up set off relentless barking. I tried very unsuccessfully to stop if. Then I watched your video and saw myself on every “what not to do.” I used your “isolate” technique today right after watching your video. I would remove him from the room for about 15-30 seconds and then welcome him back into the room. I had to do that 4 times and now he is chilled out in my arms even with the neighbors working in their yard. Thank you!!! Other than barking, he has been the best little guy. Now he’s pretty perfect.

[@Mydogsleepsat10pm]

Amazing human getting a rescue ❤

[@user-jf9yz2rl6s]

We have a rescue Doxal (part Dauschand (not spelled right), part Beagle….she barks aggressively with hair up at anyone who comes, no matter if we let her know it’s ok they are here…sometimes if we don’t keep an eye on her, she’ll even try to nip at them…mainly men, but women too. she also chases everything, and my son just moved back home with 4 cats. I’m stressed to max. they have always been indoor cats and never even heard a dog bark, due to where they lived, until now. They are so scared and won’t come out from under the bed . I’ve done everything this lady said; nothing stops her…😭

[@louiseloobywainwright4073]

Wow! My dog is a 'back-off' barker and is so rigid at the front window it's like she's stiff from nose to tail. I've inadvertently been reinforcing this by a combination of a) trying to ignore it; or b) shouting "sshhh" or "Jess - QUIET!" which I've now discovered are both wrong. Just tried the 'confidently approach the window as a leader' method (I had to do this twice in the space of less than 5mins) and on the second occasion Jess fell silent as she saw me approaching and had only 2 barks come out of her mouth. I made an exaggerated 'look' out of the window while she sat calmly, then as I walked away she actually hopped down from the back of the armchair and followed me quietly into the kitchen. Can't quite believe this worked straight away. Previously it would have been a good 30 seconds of frantic barking usually including her nipping the plants on the windowsill or grabbing and worrying cushions and throwing them on the floor.

[@sugandha2179]

Thanks a lot for sharing! Mine is a 3 months old German Shepherd and she starts biting on ankles when in play mood or wants food. When we pull her out of the scene, she does the buddy barking and goes back to nipping. Definitely implementing the tips from now!

[@xavi9933]

Like my 3 months German shepherd puppy 💖

[@mariagrobler837]

Thank you my one dog never stops barking gonna try this!

[@cristinaf3844]

Thank you for such a clear, helpful and comprehensive video. I’ve admittedly done many of the wrong things. Our dog is 17 months old, we’ve had him for 3 months, he’s a great pyr/golden retriever so still in puppy mode but is already the length of our bed when he’s stretching. He’s so great and gentle with dogs, puppies, kids, sleeps all night and is the last to get out of bed. He gets tons of exercise everyday but oi still the barking sometimes. He’s all 3 bark types lol. Great pyrs are livestock guardians. When he is reacting to something he may deem a threat, the back of his fur turns into a Mohawk. I’ve read the term for that is raised hackles.

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

We have a back-off barker (more of a bayer). This is extremely helpful. Thank you!

[@TAMINTEX]

I really appreciate and understand your teaching I raise my own service dogs since I'm the one with multiple needs I'm on 15 yrs of service dogs first one was donated as I was his siter, 2 one inherited from death, I took her to shelter she liked one1, we brought home, she has Cana 🥥picking up items if she doesn't go or Acts confused Bell 🔔 will show her or do it then Cana 🥥 understands,7 month I've had her now she takes clothes out of dryer, rings door bell, brings waters to fill frig, all going great this month 🔔 is 10, Cana 🥥is 2 Thanks again 🤟🏼

[@markhorst3628]

Your video came up as a suggestion by KZbin and I’m glad I did. I think we have a combination bored and back off barker. He is a male five year old, miniature poodle. He is a surrender dog, but we have no idea his background. We live in a high-rise apartment building. He is very alert with every noise. We’ve had him for three weeks. He is getting a little better. He’s such a social bulldog gets along with other dogs and people magnet. Ours is a senior high-rise, and everybody loves them. With a little bit of training, I think he could be a therapy dog. I’ve seen people anxious, calm them self with petting, the dog, he is such a blessing. Do you have any online training or other videos that I could purchase about barking? Thanks Mark

[@vivekrathore1477]

The details in this video are amazing.

[@thattravelgirl]

Thanks for the tips. My dog became a barker around the time she turned 9-10 years old. It looks like she’s a combo of a bored and back-off barker. I’m going to try these tips out and see how it goes!

Merci , ce que vous expliquer est tellement important pour avoir un meilleur chien pour soi et pour les autres! Merci 🙏

[@isabellesender]

Excellent. Thank you.💕💕💕

[@ChrisReher]

Thank you. I have a 12-pound back-off barker and this is great info. Like someone previously also asked, I'd like a video on anxiety in the car. She's anxious when we're going somewhere, but then fine on the way home, when she's tired. So I'm guessing she's not car sick. A crate in the car is not an option.

[@Lemonade20016]

Just want to add that a secured crate is the safest option for travelling with your pet in the car in case of an accident. Buckled in with a harness can cause their ribcage to collapse on impact, and dogs that are fully free range will become a torpedo that will be launched through a window. Since your dog is only 12 pounds, a small travel carrier buckled to one of the seats or anchored in the cargo area is the best option. If your dog isn't comfortable with crates it would be worth your while to start crate training them

[@helmshardover]

My wife started taking our (distressed) puppy to the car when it wasn't going anywhere. First times were short, and she sat in the car and stroked the dog. After a while she took a book and read for a while. We didn't take the dog anywhere for a couple of weeks until he was totally relaxed, then accepting a five minute trip, then driving to a great park he enjoyed. Soon he was wanting to get in the car!

[@erinnorwood6124]

My friend had her anxious pup ride in the back seat on the floor to help. Don't remember what else she did

Love the video, Carol. Thank you. I have a slight variation on the bored barking. I have a six-month-old mini dachshund who barks at every noise he hears, inside or outside. But he is not necessarily at a window. For example, as I write this, he is on the couch next to my wife barking at the thunder he hears. Do I treat this like back-off barking, boredom barking, or is there another way to handle it.
