Shut Up Already!

"If I hear one more bark, I'm going to lose my mind!" If we have heard it once, we have heard it a thousand times. Your dog's barking will drive you absolutely bonkers. With working from home being the new normal for the foreseeable future, your dog's barking could also be driving your coworkers crazy, or worse your boss... If you wanting a solution to dog barking today, let's first look at what causes it.

Reasons Why Your Dog May Be Barking

• Prey Drive: If your dog is obsessive about watching squirrels and birds out the window, the dog barking you are hearing can be from high prey drive.
• Boredom: If your dog is doing other boredom behaviors, such as digging, chewing, licking the couch, pulling stuffing from toys, or being generally hyper, boredom could be causing your dog to bark.
• Anxiety: Does the tiniest noise send your dog into a barking fit? Does your dog also experience shaking, whining, or other nervous behaviors? Anxiety could be motivating your dog to bark
• Wanting Attention:Your dog is accustomed to getting your attention when you are home. Now that you are home all the time, your dog may not be understanding that your attention can't always be given.
• Desire to Guard: Dogs with a desire to protect and guard the home are going to be more likely to bark when people and animals can be seen or heard outside.
