I. How to get a dog to calm down quickly

When some people get a dog for the first time, they always want the perfect dog that doesn't bark much, doesn't shed, is friendly to people, and doesn't have body odor ......

The first point alone, "not barking much", is a very demanding condition, after all, dogs also have to communicate through barking, and asking a dog to be born mute is a luxury. But most big dogs are more calm, even if the bark is only one or two, unlike small dogs, bark very noisy. Regardless of the dog, when the dog does not stop barking, you can use the following methods to solve it.

Exercise to kill the dog's energy
Most dog trainers agree on one point: a tired dog is a good dog. When a dog doesn't get enough exercise, there's no place to give out his energy and he'll find something to do. Like huskies such as this is very simple and rough, direct demolition home without barking. But some dogs themselves are very sensitive, eaten nothing to do when they want to manage everything, upstairs and downstairs someone quarrel, someone passing in front of the door, delivery door, the dog has to bark non-stop. Put in the past, this good watchdog, but now do not need ah! So no matter what the dog, must take it out every day to exercise so that it has plenty of exercises. Dogs are tired after exercise naturally rest! Teddy, Bichon Frise, Pomeranian, Yorkshire, and other dogs are best walked for an hour a day.

Ignore your dog's barking
A dog's barking is a form of communication. If the status of the owner and the dog is obvious and the dog sees you as the owner, its barking is not trying to say that it is going out to fight with the enemy, it is just alerting the owner: someone is invading, the owner you come and see what is going on! This time as the leader of the owner, as long as ignored, the dog will gradually calm down after barking several times. Because the owner (leader) is feeling no danger, everyone is safe, no need to keep barking to remind.

This method friends with enough are quite effective, but there is a downside, first easy to neighbors complaints.

Lead the dog to the right behavior
Some owners will punish their dogs for barking incessantly, but we have no way to communicate directly with the dog, so the dog may misunderstand the owner's meaning. For example, if you hit him when he keeps barking, he may think: "Master thinks I am not barking loudly enough, not hysterical enough, so I need to bark louder in the future. Punishing your dog in various ways is better than guiding him to do the right thing. For example, let the dog know that the owner is expecting it to sit quietly. When someone walks outside the door and the dog keeps barking, give the dog the command to sit down. If the dog is willing to sit quietly, give it a reward of a snack. Even in anticipation of a visitor arriving at the door, tell the dog to sit down in advance and give a reward if he can sit quietly.

Let the dog know that every time a stranger comes, sit quietly instead of getting a tasty snack.

Some people may think, the dog has been barking beaten on the good, why so much work? The problem is that dogs have different personalities, and some dogs won't stop beating and may become more aggressive the more they fight. And those dogs who are beaten into submission are likely to go to the other extreme: learned helplessness, becoming afraid to do anything. These dogs often act with their heads down, afraid to look at their masters, tucking their tails, cowering in fear no matter what they do, and afraid to interact with their masters, treating themselves as defenseless slaves. For me, having a dog is not about having a slave, so I don't recommend the use of punishment. The owner can yell and reprimand, but hitting will vary from dog to dog!

II. How do you calm your dog down?
