I run a boarding kennel and doggie daycare and there are many pitches of dogs barking that ARE VERY PAINFUL... I wear big noise cancelling bluetooth headphones which makes it easier to bear. I feel ya!

[@chew_1993]

I used to be a kennel attendant before I was a vet tech and I had my mini Aussie at the clinic with me for something (don’t remember what) and they could hear her in the treatment room through the sound muffling doors so one of the vets measured the decibels of her bark and it was in hearing damage range, I think it was over 100dB. No wonder I can’t hear after 12 years of her barking 😅

[@mariaannenkova7954]

Bunny is like: tell her to shut up!

I love people giving advice like Bunny's owner isn't an experienced trainer. Yikes. I'm sure she's working on the barking. Not every second of her life can be training. Sometimes she needs to sit down! 😅

Nope. Cats don’t make yappy noises, little dogs do.

[@kimberlyweston8466]

Teach Tenrec inside / outside voice. Inside voice soft quiet still can be heard. Take her outside and praise her for barking loud outside. Reward her for barking softer inside. Your dogs are smart they can be trained easily. “Use inside voice, please. “ buttons and voice.When she barks softer reward her. Same thing for outside voice also are the buttons adjustable in volume. ???? They may hurt her ears as she is closer to the floor and her ears don’t lop over. Just an observation, and suggestions only. I have a deaf dog that has no volume control when startled. Over the years I’ve taught her inside verses outside barking, she understands I use sign language and hand signs I’ve taught her to communicate, with her. Where you can use your buttons, and voice to correct the behavior. I have to use sight and hand signs. Again, just an observation, and suggestion. Enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.

[@carlaeskelsen]

That's brilliant. It's always more efficient to teach an alternative "do" than any kind of "don't".

[@MurielMoore-c4v]

I did that with my Cairn. I taught him inside voice because my neighbor was sound sensitive and he barked like a crazy when I vacuumed. His voice was high pitched like Tenrec. My Westie had a deep voice almost “Basso Profundo”. I thought it was funny that she had the deep voice and he the squeaky voice.😅I understand about headaches!

[@Mdaisydoodle]

Lol that's what I say to my dog. " inside voice, stop yelling " she then barks softer😂❤ love her

[@CatherineSTodd]

kimberly, your training your dog for "inside and outside barks" isi ncredible, especially using hand signals and sign language. I had no idea this was even possible! Thanks for posting. Very important information! I am reposting your comment with your name so more people may see it. Thank you!

[@Katfishforrent]

May I ask why not just train them not to bark? Please, I beg you to understand that I am genuinely asking, and I am in no way trying to be a smart Alec, nor am I even against what youre doing. I promise I am genuinely asking out of curiosity, as I grew up with my family dogs always being trained to not bark. I know that everyone is different, and there is no real one way to train/raise your dog. I respect everyone's opinion, and their choices on how they train/raise their dogs, with zero judgement. I truly hope I do not cause any offense with my question.

Not actually. You can definitely teach them "indoor voice. This also helps them find their peace, as well as utilization of a host of other (softer) vocalizations to communicate w us humans. More words means we also understand them better. Win:win." Tips from pro dog trainer.

[@nancyangelwolf]

@tallgirlhappyme I'm curious if autocorrect changed "Tenrec" into "Trainwreck" or if you did that yourself? Either way, it made me laugh.😂

[@lucilleentzminger1359]

Can bunny tell you what they're saying and/or tell them what you're saying?

[@lyndavis113]

Then why did you get a small dog and now that poor dog is probably going to end up getting thrown out of the family because you're so"obversive" and Bunny isn't saying that she doesn't like his bark she's saying is that what's bothering you, that you are saying it hurts your ears not her. You're fancy words don't change the fact that you're complaining about a poor little dog's bark when he can't change his bark and he can't stop barking. Who gets mad at a dog because of the sound of his bark.

[@karina-oh7826]

I love to keep my eyes on Bunny during any conversation; you can literally “see” that Bunny thoroughly understands the conversation when you notice how after stepping on a related word, Bunny then looks at Tenrac. First she looks at Mom, she then presses the word(s) she's understanding, then she looks over at Tenrac... Oh yeah, Bunny's letting you know that she totally understands whats being said... She IS a special dog. You are so blessed to have her! ❤❤❤

I'm the same! I got weird earplugs especially for normal noises being too painful. I have a big dog with a very loud bark that usually hurts. Flare Audio, Calmer earplugs. They're a tube so they don't block volume and you don't hear your own breathing and chewing amplified like with regular ear plugs. Game changer. I don't wince at sounds now, sounds don't hurt anymore. 😁

Yall calm down, she's just stating her opinion, you do realize you can teach a dog to not bark? So just cuz she's complaining about it it doesn't mean she doesn't love Tenrec or she'll want to get rid of him -.- I think that trying to get Tenrec to understand that he shouldn't bark using the buttons is a very cool idea and it might even work!

Yes! I don’t get why down her for owning a small dog. She knows what she is doing.

Not to make assumptions, but noise sensitivity like that can often be an indicator of autism. I'm 44 and JUST got diagnosed.

[@shymuse4bts823]

The small dog literally cannot control the tone of it's bark. It wants to communicate too. Teach it to use the buttons or re home it. Loop earplugs help with sudden decibel jumps like that. Please accommodate your dog's natural need to express.

[@wurstbrat.]

As someone who's actually worked with dogs for around a decade, Tenrec is absolutely, 100%, not going to be 'offended'. The concern is sweet, but dogs just do not think/process like that. Hours and hours of barking a day (and I have SPD) really does hurt, and humans venting about it is a way to reduce stress. It's never going to result in any behavioural changes, positive or negative. It's just how humans associate. Training can be done to reduce barking but a dog certainly won't be impacted by a human saying that their ears hurt. Believe me. 😅

[@jillsdoggrooming3048]

Advise from pro dog trainer; teach him "indoor voice." I do this within 2- 3 days for all of my boarders and my dogs (permanent plus fosters) and it's a huge relief to have "volume control." But most of all, it's part of the "map" I give them to their non-anxious self. While I've yet to get these exciting buttons, their own doggy-vocalizations are now more diverse and include low grumbles, sniffles and etc to communicate w me. The domestic dog in my home is on the way to the awesome vocabulary as a domestic cat, who comes using a hundred words in their own language. Contact me if you want advice. ❤
