How can I stop neighbors dog from barking?

by Virginia

I've never had barking issues with my 3 year old Coton de Tulear, but I could sure use help to stop my neighbors dog from barking.

I work at home during the day and my neighbor's dog barks all day. My neighbors aren't home during the day so they probably don't know there's even a problem. How can I get the dog to stop barking?

Hi Judy, have you tried any of the suggestions on this page?

http://www.coton-de-tulear-care.com/how-to-stop-dog-barking.html

I found that the absolute best results I got was from using the noise deterrent. Every time Luc barked at inappropriate times I would shake a little bag of chains that made noise and distracted him from barking.

As for obedience training, I think all dogs benefit from basic training for their own safety as well as for having a well behaved dog that gets along with everyone in all kinds of situations. Obedience training shouldn't have any negative impact on your dog's personality. If anything, it makes your dog less anxious because he learns that you are in control and that takes the weight off of him to be the alpha dog. This could actually help with the barking because once your dog learns that you are the leader, he won't have to be in protection mode all the time.

Send in a photo of Gus if you get the chance, he sounds adorable.

by: JUDI

I TOO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME TIPS ON HOW TO STOP MY OWN DOG FROM BARKING. MY CUTE LITTLE 'GUS' A COTON, THAT WE LOVE SO MUCH, A GREAT LITTLE DOG BUT HE BARKS AT EVERYONE AND MOST THINGS. HE DOESN'T BARK ALL DAY BUT WE GO FOR WALKS HE REALLY BARKS AT OTHER DOGS, OR BIRDS AND SOMETIMES LITTLE KIDS. HE EVEN BARKS AT MY FAMILY WHEN THEY COME OVER SO THEY THINK HE'S A REAL PEST, BUT HE'S REALLY NOT, HE IS SO PLAYFUL AND LOVABLE AND JUST A GREAT COMPANION FOR US. HAVE BOUGHT BOOKS AND TRIED THE TIPS IN THERE, SO FAR NO LUCK, HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT OBEDIENCE TRAINING BUT LOVE HIS CUTE PERSONALITY AND LOVE THAT HE IS SO PLAYFUL----ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Hi Virginia, I can really sympathize with you on this one. On one hand you want to keep peace with your neighbors and on the other hand you just want some peace.

You have to live next to these people so you don’t want to have an antagonistic relationship. You can start with leaving a very short, but polite note.

If that doesn’t work and you have to confront your neighbor, the best thing you can do if this is a chronic situation is to WAIT until you are not in an agitated, frustrated, or angry state of mind and go over and calmly talk to your neighbors. You may even provide them with some information on dog barking training or phone numbers for professional trainers.

Hope you get some peace and quiet soon.
