Dog Barking – Serious answers only please?
Hi There
I work in the care sector and we have a resident who keeps a dog, the dog keeps barking and this annoys other residents in the complex.
The dog truly is all the woman has in her life and we dont want to have to force her to part with it.
Does anyone know of any good devices or techniwues to stop the barking, the dog is non aggressive, it just barks constantly.
Hi. You do have a problem on your hands, don’t you? I think that you accept that the woman needs her dog but you also accept that it annoys other people.
Shall we take it out of the ‘care sector’ for a start and see how we would deal with it in an ordinary residential situation?
First of all, let us consider the dog. If the bark is monotone, single and about once every second, then the dog is bored and trying to drum up some interest in his/her life. Although this is neglect for the well-being of the animal, it is unlikely that a body like the RSPCA would take legal action against the owner. The owner needs training and not the dog! If the bark is erratic and excited then is it happening when someone approaches the property? If so, then the dog is doing his/her job and simply protecting his/her master/mistress.
At this point, let us go back in to the ‘care sector’ and evaluate if ‘other residents’ are actually deliberatly annoying the dog and making it bark – certainly worth considering, especially if the ‘care sector’ that you are in is mental health.
I do believe that there are collars around that will stop a dog from barking but that doesn’t really solve the problem, does it? The owner of the dog needs to be trained to take responsibility for the dog and other residents need to be trained to take responsibility for their actions.
I really think that the dog is simply bored and that a good run would do it the world of good – and it needs to be done on a regular basis. Can I suggest that either you or one of your co-care workers takes the woman in question and her dog out for a lovely walk every day. Healthy for both and should sort out the problem. If the dog is obedient, then taking it to an open area and letting it have a good run off the lead should improve its wellbeing – and the wellbeing of its owner as well as other residents!
Stop Barking Collar – Truth Reviewed
A dog barking can be a very annoying noise for you and your neighbors, however, it is made worse if it is your dog that is barking. Not only will it annoy your neighbors but it can cause some serious problems, especially if your neighbors complain and you get an unwanted visit from animal control.
Dogs bark for many reasons, usually its because there is a factor in their life that is bothering them, and the only way they can express that is to bark. Boredom, separation anxiety, excitement, and stranger alert are the main reasons your dog will bark excessively. Finding out what is causing your dog to bark, is the best way to solve the barking once and for all.
If your dog is neurotic then an anti barking collar is not the best way to stop your dog from barking. The shock from the collar can really send a neurotic dog into a spin and he or she could really hurt themselves trying to get the collar off. Stop barking collars are designed to be a corrective device, when your dog is barking. Once your dog has stopped barking the collar does need to come off, they are not designed for everyday apparel.
A citronella collar is a collar that does not use a vibration, instead it releases a spray of citronella in front of the dog. Dogs do not like the smell of the citronella and will soon teach the dog that when he barks it releases the smell. The other type of anti barking collar is a static collar. A static collar is activated by the dog barking and sends off a vibration, this is unpleasant to the dog, and he or she will learn fairly quickly that it will keep happening when he barks.
A stop barking collar is not a inhumane as you would think. The anti barking collar does not have any electricity in it, and the shock that your dog receives is that of a vibration that makes it unpleasant for him. The shock will not send your dog whimpering in pain, it will only give him a little fright. Stop barking collars, if used correctly can be a very good way of correcting your dogs barking habits.
