There could be several reasons why she is barking. She might bark out of fear. Being that she barks with the hopes of scaring what is scaring her. You might try patting her head and telling her, " good girl, it's ok." This should reassure her and build confidence

Bored and insecure.
Dogs are pack animals and a 12 pound dog well recognizes when it is compromised. Get another one, so it is not alone. |

Our dog would bark when people knocked at the door. We put a pet bed in the living room where she could see the whole room. We would knock on the door, walk her to the pet bed and give her a treat. Pretty fast she figured out door knock, go to pet bed get treat. We would extend the time she spent on the bed before getting the treat as time went on. She would also only get the treat if we released her. That way she had time to get use to new people being there before being released. We then started to release with no treat after she had the behavior set.

You might try patting her head and telling her, " good girl, it's ok." This should reassure her and build confidence Worth a shot I suppose That is awful advice. That is a human response to an animal behavior. Doing that is only going to reinforce with her that barking is the right thing to do. A bark collar would be helpful, as would training. Many dogs bark out of boredom. Make sure the dog is getting enough exercise. At least a 30 minute walk morning and night, as well as structured obedience training daily. Whenever one of my dogs bark at something, I call them to me, and put them through a series of obedience exercises, and then they get a treat at the end. Dogs have very short attention spans, so if my dog barks at a rabbit in the yard, and I call her over and redirect her into behaviors I want her to exhibit, she doesn't realize she's not supposed to bark, she just knows I have something more fun than barking at the rabbit in the yard. I also crate my dogs when I'm not home, so they don't get the opportunity to act out at environmental factors when I am not there to control the situation. PM me if you'd like to talk more. |

Some dogs just bark. Some breeds more than others. We have Shelties and one of them just goes crazy sometimes and will not shut up, running around in the yard, spinning like a top. I'm going to look into that egg. |

You need to have the "Come to Jesus" meeting with her.
Say: "Listen, you really need to stop all this barking." I'm sure she will listen if you have that talk with her. |

We kept a dog for someone for several months and he barked all the time. We used a collar that spayed some type of citrus smelling stuff every time he barked. It worked pretty good but he knew when the collar was empty.
Also, it sprayed him if another dog barked but that was rare. Don't know if they still make them or not, this was about 10 years ago. Good luck, a barking dog can be very annoying to say the least. |

Did you teach your dog how to bark?
If you teach here how and when to bark, she will know. If you have never taught her to bark, how would she know what you are trying to tell her? Reassure good behavior and pick a word for when you want her to stop barking. The bark collar can be used, but it should be used as an aide to the training and not the only solution. Being shocked for making any growling sound to barking may not be understood properly. |

I taught my last dog to bark. I also taught her to stop barking in the process. She would bark if someone knocked on the door, but if I told her to be quiet and sit down she would do so in an instant.

I tried that Sunbeam Egg for my Jack Russell. Took it back almost immediately. I was getting over pneumonia/a chest infection. Every time I coughed it would activate the egg. The damn thing was not ultrasonic like they led me to believe. I don't have the best hearing but I could hear it make a noise. Similar to when I leave a computer monitor on or a TV with no input. Ended up just taking the time to train the dog and doing one of those Petsmart classes.

Call 911 from your cell phone reporting a barking angry dog. Local police will solve your problems for you. Though after they shoot it you'll have to dispose of it yourself. Can't have everything and all.
