Although dog ownership doesn’t require you to have a degree or formal education on dog training, it really is important that you are mindful of things that will help you obtain positive training results as well as teach your dog to avoid and eliminate unwanted behaviors like excited or excessive barking.

Barking is a natural behavior among dogs. It is their means of communicating to one another and more frequently, to get their human’s attention and relay information. Your bichon frise may bark to let you know that he is feeling bad, scared, excited or if he sense an approaching danger. While barking can be useful in a lot of ways, it may cause problems too. Excited or extreme barking could cause issues, be it within your house or among other people in the neighborhood.

While there can be lots of reasons for the occurrence of this problem, there’s one solution that can greatly influence the problem – successful dog training. However, you can’t begin dog training unless you know the underlying cause of the problem.

Is he separated from the rest of the family? Being social animals, dogs ought to be with their packs and will feel distressed when separated from their owners. To deal with this issue, move his bed or his crate in the area of the house where members of the family gather or stay most of the time. If it is not possible, provide him with background sound such as radio to make him think that he’s not alone.

If he barks at passersby, socialization can take care of the issue. Introduce your bichon frise to various sights and sounds as soon as possible. Make it clear to him that those things or people are friends hence he never need to be afraid nor doubtful.

Sometimes, your bichon may bark for no reason at all. In that case, better prepare a small tin containing at least ten pennies. If he barks non stop, shake the can to create disturbing sound. He will eventually realize that the noise occurs if he starts barking thus must refrain from doing it to avoid the disturbing sound of the pennies inside the tin.
