Some dogs just love barking at people and other dogs from inside their home. Dogs will peep through windows, doors and even holes in fences just to get a glimpse of someone walking by. Barking is not only annoying, but it’s also not fair to the passerby. Stop dog barking from inside with these management tips.
By far, dogs enjoy barking at passersby from windows. For windows facing any type of foot traffic, try these tips. Applying these tips will prevent your dog from seeing passersby, which manages his behavior:
Most doors are made of solid, wood or metal, but many contain glass accent panels to provide more light into a room. Apply decorative opaque window film to window panels. Most films can be easily removed, if needed. Also, try frosting windows with DIY products from craft stores. A simple solution is to install curtains, but most dogs learn to push the fabric aside when they hear the UPS at the door.
Once your dog’s environment has been managed, meaning she’s no longer able to practice barking at passersby, it’s time to train her to do something else instead of bark.
Continue to practice every time your dog hears something. Ideally, call her to you before she starts barking and reward generously when she returns to you.
