The only reason is that they are inseparably related and are also intrinsic. The same is applied of the relation between a dog and its barking. In no way you can put an end to it since that will kill the essence of the dog. Furthermore a dog is appreciated due to its loyalty, dedication, courageousness and also aggressiveness. All these are expressed through barking.

It may be that they are annoyed due to the excessive and ceaseless barking of their own dogs and are hence trying to get rid of the stalemate desperately. Well, however unfortunate it is, they must know that they will not be able to win ever. Either they will have to quell the concept of barking or will have to live with it. But if they ever put it down it will be synonymous to the death of the dog. Try to evolve a new strategy and it is to train your dog for barking.

Dogs start barking for several reasons. It may be anything like hunger, loneliness, anxiety, seeking attention to play, identification of any trespasser into your territory or even another dog, cat or even insect. There is nothing to get surprised as this is the natural behavior of the dog and also its primary method of communication. If you think that you cannot modify this practice, you are badly mistaken. You can control you pet dog, train it to bark and also achieve success.

How should you embark on? You shall have to follow some simple methods but that should be concentrated and applied strategically. The first one of this is self-control. You may be amazed to hear this but it's needed. It is often found that we get interested to play with the pet dogs and they as a result bark at the top of their voices. These types of activities should never be encouraged in any way. You should not give any form of verbal assurance, indulgence or even a simple attention to the dog. You must let him realize of his own offence concerning barking.

There is the need of consistent command training. This is vital since through this you will be able to groom it and make it obedient also. Try to use calming pheromone spray in the environment of your pet. During the command training each and every command of yours should be unambiguous, specific and of one word. There must not be the inclusion of any indignant or harsh tone in any command. If there is the presence of any of these, the dog will get bewildered and may fail to act in view of the instructions.

Follow these instructions methodically. You will gain ultimately.
