Dog Trick To Cure A Nuisance Barker
3
All breeds and sizes of dogs can be taught easily
to speak, and the way to go about it is to call
your dog, show him a treat and say Speak. He
will not understand what you mean and will
probably at first jump for it, and then sit down
and eye it attentively finally, he will get
impatient and utter a sharp bark, which is what
you have been waiting for, and the instant he
does so reward him with the treat.
4
A dog which is slow in barking can be encouraged
to do so by your imitating a bark, as the chances
are he will reply to it, and if you reward him he
will learn to bark as soon as he hears the word
speak.
5
After a dog has been taught to bark once, you can
teach him to bark any number of times, for when
he has learned to expect a reward after barking
once and you do not give it to him he is apt to
bark again or until you give him a signal to stop.
6
Dogs are very observing and the signal to stop
barking can be so slight that your friends will
not detect it, such as a movement of the foot or
hand, a dropping of the eyelids or a shifting of
your gaze, and if you keep up a running fire of
conversation and address your dog as if he were a
human being his performance will be much more
impressive and perplexing
7
As an illustration, if you are exhibiting your
dog to an audience and want him to speak, dont
simply say speak, but address him something
like this Now, Buddy, all the ladies and
gentlemen present are very anxious to hear you
speak. Put a slight emphasis on the word speak
and your dog will catch it, but it will appear to
the audience as if the dog understood the entire
sentence and not only the one word speak. Of
course, when training the young dog you should
use only the word speak and that distinctly and
free from other words, so as not to confuse him.
8
If your dog knows how to speck on command, you
can try to teach singing which is to teach
him to howl on command. It is not expected that
your dog will produce any melody but only repeat
in a mechanical way a series of whines and barks.
9
Teach him to sing in the following manner. Try
to imitate a whine yourself and try to get him to
imitate the noise you make and to a certain
degree, reach the pitch and style of noise make
by you, be it a howl, whine or bark and with
constant practice, a dog can and will learn to
follow your tone quite accurately.
10
As your dog learn to follow your barking,
say sing instinctively to associate this
action. Praise and treat plentifully during
training to encourage him further. Exercise him
on a regular basis will help him to learn to sing
in no time on your command.
11
Speak and Sing are useful lessons in curbing
a nuisance barking dog. Let your dog understand
that barking and whining is only allowed on
command. Simply ignore your dog whenever he barks
and whine for your attention. Vice versa, give
him lots of praise or treats when he barks on
command. If your dog understands this lesson, he
will no longer be a nuisance barker and be a good
quiet boy for a long time to go.
