hi welcome to my channel I'm your host G
0:04
and today I'd like to talk about how to
0:05
stop dog barking when on walks are you
0:08
tired of dreading your daily dog walks
0:10
do you find yourself apologizing to
0:12
neighbors crossing the street to avoid
0:14
other dogs or walking at Out hours just
0:16
to keep the peace you're not alone
0:18
millions of dog owners struggle with
0:20
excessive barking during walks turning
0:22
what should be an enjoyable bonding
0:23
experience into a stressful ordeal I
0:26
know exactly how you feel I was once in
0:28
your shoes with my Mal Luna who thought
0:30
her mission in life was to alert the
0:32
entire neighborhood about well
0:35
everything but here's the thing your
0:37
dogs barking isn't random and it's
0:39
definitely not personal in fact through
0:41
my years as a professional dog trainer
0:43
I've discovered that most reactive
0:45
barking follows specific patterns that
0:47
once understood can be effectively
0:49
managed what if I told you that the
0:51
solution doesn't require expensive
0:53
gadgets harsh training methods or giving
0:55
up your favorite walking routes what if
0:57
you could transform your daily Walks
0:59
from a source of anx into something you
1:00
and your dog actually look forward to
1:03
every dog barks for a reason and the
1:05
first step is identifying what sets your
1:07
Pup off on walks whether it's other dogs
1:09
people cars or specific sounds you know
1:13
Luna my males used to bark at literally
1:16
everything that moved it was like she
1:18
thought she was a security guard on duty
1:20
keeping me safe from dangerous things
1:22
like leaves blowing in the wind yes
1:25
leaves but once I started paying
1:27
attention I noticed she mainly barked at
1:30
things that surprised her it's like when
1:32
you jump at a horror movie except Luna's
1:34
horror movie was just the neighbor
1:36
garbage bin understanding these triggers
1:38
is like being a detective except instead
1:40
of solving crimes you're solving the
1:42
mystery of why your four-legged friend
1:43
thinks the mailman is Public Enemy
1:45
Number One before tackling The Barking
1:47
issue your dog needs to master basic
1:49
commands like Sit Stay and look at me in
1:52
a quiet environment think of it like
1:54
building a house you wouldn't start with
1:56
installing fancy chandeliers before
1:58
laying the foundation right right the
2:00
same goes for dog training Luna had to
2:03
learn her ABCs before writing
2:04
Shakespeare if you know what I mean when
2:07
I first got her she couldn't tell sit
2:09
from salami but we worked on Basics
2:11
every day it's like going to the gym you
2:13
don't start with heavy weights you build
2:15
up gradually and just like you wouldn't
2:17
try to learn calculus in the middle of a
2:19
rock concert your dog can't learn new
2:21
behaviors in chaotic environments
2:23
teaching your dog to focus on you is
2:25
crucial this command breaks their
2:27
attention from potential triggers and
2:29
redirects it to you I call this the
2:31
paparazzi technique because you want
2:32
your dog to look at you like you're the
2:34
most interesting celebrity on the red
2:35
carpet when Luna and I started this
2:38
training I used treats like I was
2:39
throwing dollar bills at a club except
2:41
much healthier and dog appropriate of
2:43
course the goal is to be more
2:45
interesting than whatever is triggering
2:47
them you know how some people can't take
2:49
their eyes off their phones that's how
2:51
you want your dog to be with you minus
2:53
the social media addiction reward quiet
2:56
Behavior immediately and consistently
2:58
never punish barking as it it can
3:00
increase anxiety and make the problem
3:01
worse here's where many people get it
3:03
wrong they focus on stopping the bad
3:05
behavior instead of rewarding the good
3:08
it's like if someone only told you what
3:09
you're doing wrong at work but never
3:11
praised your achievements how motivated
3:13
would you feel when Luna manages to walk
3:16
past another dog without turning into a
3:17
tiny furry megaphone she gets treated
3:20
like she just won the Nobel Prize for
3:21
good behavior and let me tell you this
3:24
method works way better than my old
3:25
technique of saying shund times which by
3:28
the way just made me sound like a broken
3:30
tea kettle and by the way if you are
3:32
enjoying the video so far do me a quick
3:35
favor hit that like button it really
3:38
helps support the channel and it only
3:40
takes a second start with triggers at a
3:42
distance where your dog remains calm
3:44
then gradually decrease the distance as
3:46
they improve this is called
3:48
desensitization picture this if you're
3:50
afraid of spiders you wouldn't want
3:52
someone throwing a tarantula on your lap
3:54
right away right same goes for Luna when
3:57
we started working on her fear of
3:58
skateboards we began so far away from
4:01
them that she thought they were just
4:02
weird moving dots in the distance day by
4:05
day we got a little closer like playing
4:07
the world slowest game of red light
4:09
green light at first Luna thought I was
4:11
crazy for making her watch skateboards
4:13
from half a block away but soon enough
4:15
she was so bored with them she'd rather
4:17
check if I had treats in my pocket than
4:19
bark at the local Tony Hawk a tired dog
4:22
is more likely to stay calm during walks
4:25
make sure your dog gets enough physical
4:26
and mental stimulation before training
4:28
sessions you know that saying a tired
4:31
dog is a good dog well it's true when
4:34
Luna doesn't get enough exercise she
4:36
turns into what I like to call a furry
4:38
firecracker ready to explode at the
4:40
slightest provocation but after a good
4:42
play session or some backyard Zoomies
4:45
she's more like a fuzzy philosopher
4:47
calmly contemplating the meaning of life
4:49
instead of barking at every squirrel in
4:50
the neighborhood it's like trying to
4:52
deal with a toddler who's had too much
4:54
sugar versus one who's just had a good
4:56
nap the difference is night and day
4:59
everyone in the household must follow
5:00
the same training rules mixed messages
5:03
will confuse your dog and slow down
5:05
progress let me tell you about the time
5:07
my mom visited and kept saying it's okay
5:09
it's okay every time Luna barked at the
5:11
neighbor's cat meanwhile I had spent
5:14
weeks teaching Luna that barking equals
5:16
no attention it was like having two
5:18
driving instructors one telling you to
5:20
stop at red lights and the other saying
5:21
red means floid poor Luna was more
5:24
confused than a penguin in a desert
5:26
remember dogs don't understand sometimes
5:28
it's okay to bark they need clear
5:31
consistent rules just like how you can't
5:33
tell a child it's fine to eat cookies
5:34
for breakfast but only on Tuesdays when
5:36
it's cloudy when to seek professional
5:39
help if your dog's barking is severe
5:41
persistent or causing significant stress
5:44
don't hesitate to consult a professional
5:45
dog trainer or behaviorist listen
5:48
there's no shame in calling in the
5:50
experts before I became a trainer I was
5:53
just a guy with a very vocal mtis who
5:54
thought barking management meant saying
5:56
Qui louder than the dog professional
5:58
help is like getting a personal trainer
6:00
at the gym sure you could figure it out
6:02
yourself but an expert can FasTrack your
6:04
progress and correct mistakes you didn't
6:06
even know you were making they're like
6:08
the GPS of the dog training World
6:10
they'll help you navigate the quickest
6:11
route to a peaceful walk while you might
6:13
be taking the scenic route through
6:14
frustration Avenue in bark Boulevard if
6:17
you are having difficulty identifying
6:18
the triggers there is an interactive
