training is in order. Of course, you have to understand that
barking is a natural way for the puppy or dog to communicate,
both with you and with other dogs. Here are a few things to do
and things to avoid while training your dog:

a confined space (such as a dog
crate), whining and barking will be more frequent. Try to avoid
keeping the dog locked up as such if possible and try to educate
him, from puppy stage, that barking for hours won't solve the
problem. ü Dogs are social animals - their barking is a call to
socialization on many occasions. Barking dog training programs

positive dog training methods is that offering praise for a
successful command is more effective than offering punishment
for a poor response to a command. The dog sees you as the leader
of the "pack" because you are the one who provides food and
shelter - you should teach the dog to respect you, and the
protection you offer him, by praising the dog, both with a treat
and a vocal remark, every time he or she responds well to
