Barking Driving You mad?

In: Pets

27 May 2009

The dog which barks unnecessarily is a pain to live with and agony to live next door to. Some dogs bark because their guarding instinct is very strong and they feel it necessary to alert you to every little noise. Some dogs bark because they are nervous and the sound of their own barking gives them confidence . Some bark because they like the reaction it provokes in you and some bark because they have not been taught not to. It is quite normal for a dog to bark if he hears a strong noise during the night. Continuing to bark after an acceptable time is what you want to deter.

We all love our dogs, they can be the almost as precious to us as our children, but can come to hate the non stop barking that comes with them. It never fails that whenever we are doing something important, like being on the phone with an important call, they start yapping away at a kid getting off the school bus.

A lot of people dream of owning a “wonder dog”. We adopt that puppy we fall in love with at the kennel, thinking that they will be another Lassie or Rin-Tin-Tin. However, things are a little different when we get our new pet home. Your puppy is incredibly excited, running all over the home. After a while, they stop and look at you affectionately, a puddle forming underneath.

Dogs have a lot of team spirit. This is often referred to as their “pack” instinct, but I like to think of it in “team” terms. Team consciousness and the canine psyche have a lot in common. Teams focus on winning; each player works for it, wants it, thinks about it, and strives for it. There are also some other, less obvious factors that determine a team’s success. Three come to mind immediately: cooperation, structure, and mutual respect. Without these, even a group of phenomenal players would be pure chaos. A good team is organized so everyone knows who’s in charge and what’s expected from them. And should someone get in trouble or become hurt, he can trust that another teammate will help out.
