hi welcome to my channel I'm your host G
0:04
and today I'd like to talk about how to
0:06
stop dog barking at neighbors are you
0:08
tired of being that neighbor with the
0:10
Barking Dog does your heart race every
0:12
time someone walks past your home
0:14
knowing your furry friend is about to
0:16
unleash a symphony of barks hi I'm G and
0:19
I understand exactly what you're going
0:21
through after helping dog owners and
0:23
dealing with my own multies Luna I know
0:26
how overwhelming and embarrassing
0:27
excessive barking can be here's
0:30
something most trainers won't tell you
0:31
your dog's uncontrollable barking isn't
0:33
your fault in fact 83% of dog owners
0:36
struggle with this exact same problem
0:38
but what if I told you that Luna yes my
0:41
own little barking machine went from
0:43
being the neighborhood's loudest alarm
0:44
system to the calest dog on the Block
0:47
and the best part it didn't require
0:49
expensive gadgets harsh training methods
0:51
or countless hours of frustration just
0:54
simple proven techniques that work with
0:56
your dog's Natural Instincts your dog's
0:58
excessive barking at neb isn't random
1:00
it's triggered by specific emotions like
1:02
fear territorial Behavior or attention
1:05
seeking you know it reminds me of my
1:08
Luna when we first moved to our
1:09
apartment she would bark at every
1:11
footstep in the hallway through my years
1:13
of experience I've learned that dogs are
1:16
like little emotional sponges they pick
1:18
up on everything around them and their
1:20
barking is their way of communicating
1:22
it's like having a friend who talks to
1:23
loud when they're nervous excited or
1:25
trying to get your attention once you
1:28
understand why they're barking you're
1:29
halfway to is solving the problem
1:31
instead of punishing barking reward
1:33
quiet Behavior with treats praise and
1:36
attention listen up folks because this
1:39
is crucial yelling at your dog to stop
1:41
barking is like trying to put out a fire
1:42
with gasoline trust me I learned this
1:45
the hard way with Luna your dog thinks
1:47
you're joining in on The Barking party
1:50
instead we want to make being quiet the
1:52
most amazing thing ever when your dog
1:54
stays calm as neighbors pass by treat
1:56
them like they've just won the Nobel
1:58
Prize for good behavior it's like
2:00
teaching a child would you rather be
2:01
rewarded for doing something right or
2:03
punished for making mistakes start by
2:06
keeping your dog at a distance where
2:07
they can see Neighbors without reacting
2:09
then gradually decrease this distance
2:11
over time here's where the magic happens
2:13
my friends think of it like introducing
2:16
yourself to spicy food you don't start
2:18
with a ghost pepper you begin with mild
2:20
sauce and work your way up with Luna we
2:23
started by watching Neighbors from our
2:24
window far enough away that she stayed
2:26
calm every day we moved a little closer
2:29
to the action
2:30
some days we took baby steps other days
2:32
we had to take a step back and that's
2:34
perfectly fine remember we're not in a
2:37
race here we're building a foundation
2:39
for lasting behavioral change set up
2:42
specific times for controlled exposure
2:43
to neighbors making it part of your
2:45
dog's daily schedule this is where being
2:48
a creature of habit really pays off dogs
2:50
are like tiny furry clockwatchers they
2:53
thrive on routine in my neighborhood I
2:55
notice most people walk their dogs
2:57
around 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. so I
3:00
started sitting with Luna on our porch
3:02
during these times armed with treats and
3:04
praise it's like going to the gym you
3:07
don't get buff after one session the
3:09
consistency is key make these training
3:11
sessions as regular as your morning
3:13
coffee and you'll start seeing results
3:15
faster than you can say good boy or good
3:17
girl and by the way if you are enjoying
3:19
the video so far do me a quick favor hit
3:22
that like button it really helps support
3:25
the channel and it only takes a second
3:28
give your dog something else to do in
3:29
instead of barking like sitting lying
3:31
down or going to their bed now here's a
3:35
game changer that worked wonders with
3:36
Luna you see dogs are like kids at a
3:39
birthday party they need something to do
3:41
or they'll make their own fun when Luna
3:43
used to bark at neighbors I taught her
3:45
to grab her favorite toy instead it's
3:47
like redirecting a toddler from drawing
3:49
on walls to drawing on paper the key is
3:52
to make the alternative Behavior more
3:54
rewarding than the Barking I call it the
3:56
busy dog happy neighbor technique some
3:59
of my clients have taught their dogss to
4:00
play the quiet game and let me tell you
4:03
it's hilarious watching a dog try to be
4:04
sneaky quiet for a treat control what
4:07
your dog can see and hereby adjusting
4:08
blinds using white noise or creating
4:11
safe spaces think of this as creating
4:13
your dog's personal zen garden just like
4:16
how we might close our office door
4:17
during a noisy party we can help our
4:19
dogs find Peace by managing their
4:21
environment Luna has her special Chill
4:23
Zone a Cozy Corner with her bed where
4:25
the outside world doesn't seem so
4:27
overwhelming it's like having noise
4:29
cancelling headphones for your dog and
4:31
here's a pro tip that always gets a
4:33
laugh if your neighbors really trigger
4:35
your dog you can always put up pictures
4:37
of cats in the window just kidding but
4:39
seriously sometimes a simple visual
4:41
barrier can work wonders no when to call
4:44
in a professional trainer or behaviorist
4:46
especially if the Barking is severe or
4:48
stress related let me be straight with
4:50
you sometimes we need to call in the big
4:52
guns even as a professional trainer I
4:54
worked with a colleague when Luna
4:56
developed some unusual barking patterns
4:58
it's like going to the the doctor sure
5:00
WebMD might tell you what's wrong but
5:03
sometimes you need an expert's eyes on
5:04
the situation a good trainer isn't just
5:07
there to fix the problem they're like a
5:08
coach teaching you to be your dog's
5:10
personal bark busting superhero and
5:12
trust me the investment in professional
5:14
help is way cheaper than those noise
5:16
complaints from the HOA stay consistent
5:19
with training and be prepared for
5:20
occasional setbacks which are normal in
5:22
the learning process all right here's
5:25
the real tea as my teenage daughter
5:27
would say training isn't a oneand done
5:29
deal it's like maintaining a garden you
5:31
need to keep watering it pulling out
5:33
those weeds of bad habits and nurturing
5:35
the flowers of good behavior Luna still
5:37
has her moments especially when the new
5:39
neighbor kid got a squeaky Pogle stick
5:41
don't ask but because we've built such a
5:44
strong Foundation we bounce back quickly
5:46
remember your dog isn't trying to be
5:49
difficult they're just being a dog
5:51
celebrate the small victories laugh at
5:53
the setbacks and keep moving forward
5:55

5:57
