Many netizens find the most troublesome problem when taking their dogs out for a walk is that the dogs bark wildly in public places, as this easily affects the people around. Therefore, we need to strengthen the training of dogs to stay quiet in public places in daily life. Today, the editor of Boqi Network has summarized three methods, hoping to help those in need, come and have a look.

It's great when at home, but when in a hotel, dogs find everything around new, frightening, or interesting: this means they will bark more frequently than at home, and the neighbors won’t hesitate to complain to you or the front desk about their barking. Too many travelers with dogs have to find another hotel because of the dog’s barking.

To help dogs adapt to society, they must understand that barking in public places is inappropriate behavior. Yelling "quiet" at them often doesn’t help, because dogs see it as competing with them for who is louder, and they will bark louder. Here are three suggestions that may be effective.

1. When there are noises outside the door or strangers come in and your dog begins to bark, praise it after it barks once or twice. Actually, one or two barks are reasonable, and you can use them to alert possible intruders. Your dog will understand through your praise that you heard its barking and are happy—this will prevent it from barking repeatedly.

2. After praising it, immediately give the command "sit, quiet," which will shift your dog’s attention to you.

3. When it sits down and stops barking, give it some food. This will fill its mouth so it cannot bark, and it is also a form of praising its quiet behavior.

Doing the above once or twice a week is enough for your dog to learn to obey commands to stop barking and stay quiet. Dogs won't learn this overnight, so you need to train it at home before traveling.
