Are they a dog doorbell?
Does your dog bark excessively when the doorbell rings or when visitors arrive? If so, you're not alone. Inappropriate barking can be one of the most frustrating behaviours for dog owners to deal with. Here are some tips to help you manage this issue effectively.
First, it's essential to identify whether your dog's barking is a pattern behavior or a stress behaviour. Pattern behaviours are easier to fix with training and positive reinforcement, while stress behaviours require a different approach.
Training and Positive Reinforcement
For pattern behaviours, you can use positive reinforcement with treats to train your dog. Keep your dog on a leash and offer treat rewards for focus and obedience while someone rings the doorbell or enters the home. Training sessions should be short, around 10 minutes, to keep your dog engaged.
Managing Stress Levels
If your dog's barking is stress-induced, consider using products like our Soothe + Calm Day Spray to help manage their stress levels. Apply the spray to their bed or your hands and rub it on them 5-10 minutes before expected stressors like visitors arriving.
When to Consult a Vet
If you believe your dog's barking is due to anxiety, consult your vet for further advice. Some dogs may require medication alongside natural supplements to manage their mental health effectively.
Halloween Pet Costumes
Halloween is a time for spooky decorations and creative costumes, even for our furry friends. However, dressing up pets can add stress to their lives, particularly dogs, who may find the unfamiliar clothing uncomfortable. Recognising signs of stress, like panting or avoidance, is crucial. As responsible pet parents, we implore you to consider the alternatives to ensure a safe and enjoyable Halloween for every member of your family.
