Constant Barking

**MyDogSnow** · 09-23-2002, 06:21 PM

My dog, Snow, does not stop barking. She is very irritating and I love her so much. We scold her is not in need of something, but she still barks. Any training tips? Keep in mind that she is 10.

Is she kept inside or outside?

Has something recently changed for her? like loosing a playmate or a change in her living space?

I asked the same thing a while ago. Dixieland dancer had some great advice. You could read it. The post is http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...hlight=barking

Has she always done this, or is this a new behavior?

If it is a new behavior and because she is an older dog maybe her hearing &/or eyesight is starting to deteriorate, therefore causing her to be confused or not able to hear herself bark. Maybe a geriatric exam is needed from your vet. Or like posted before has anything changed in her life/routine/diet?

I think you are stuck with a barker. Tango tends to bark a lot, but he will stop when I pick him up and pay extra attention to him. I think he barks when he feels neglected.
