Stop the Barking
A force-free plan to quiet a dog that barks at nothing, guards the window and doorbell, demands your attention for hours, or won't settle when left home aloneBy Imad Muratspahic
Length3h
About this audiobook
Every time someone walks past the window, your dog explodes. The doorbell sets off a full minute of frantic noise. He barks at a shadow, at a sound you can't even hear, at you for hours until you finally give in just to make it stop, and the neighbors have started to leave notes. You have tried shouting, ignoring it, and whatever a stranger online swore by, and none of it lasted. Stop the Barking starts with the thing most advice skips: not all barking is the same, and 'just ignore it' fails because it is the wrong fix for four out of five kinds of barking. This book sorts nuisance barking into the five patterns owners actually live with—alert and territorial barking at the window, doorbell and fence; barking at seemingly nothing; demand barking aimed straight at you; boredom barking from an under-stimulated dog; and barking when you leave the house—and gives you a specific, reward-based protocol for each. This is a force-free guide. It does not use or recommend shock collars, spray collars, or 'show him who's boss' confrontation, and it explains plainly why those tools so often make barking worse.
