Excessive barking is a commonissue fordogs, often disrupting the household peace. At Royvon, we tackle this challenge with effective training methods designed through decades of trial and error.

Our approach aims to reduce unwanted excessive barking by teaching your dog alternative communication strategies, resulting in a quieter and more peaceful home environment.

So, don’t wait; let’s discuss how we can help your furry friend improve their character.

Excessive barking usually signals various underlying issues, such as attention-seeking, fear, aggression, defensiveness, possessiveness, and more. It’s crucial to understand the context behind this behaviour so we can adopt effective training measures.

Dogs may bark excessively in various scenarios, each with its own set of triggers and underlying causes.

• Unexpected noise – Many dogs instinctively bark at the sound of doorbells or the arrival of guests, acting as an alert system.
• Environmental stimuli – Specific sounds like thunder, fireworks, or construction noise can provoke a barking response.
• The sight of unfamiliar people or animals – Visual stimuli, such as people walking by the window or animals crossing their line of sight, often trigger barking.
• Insufficient exercise and mental stimulation – In the absence of companionship or adequate mental and physical stimulation, dogs may bark to express their discontent.
• Protective instinct – Dogs naturally protect their territory and loved ones, barking at perceived threats or intruders.

• Boredom and loneliness – Dogs lacking regular physical activity and mental challenges are prone to express their frustration and excess energy through barking.
• Anxiety disorders – Some dogs suffer from anxiety disorders, such as separation anxiety or generalised anxiety disorder, which can lead to excessive barking as a symptom of their distress.
• Socialisation deficits – Dogs that haven’t been adequately socialised may bark excessively out of fear or aggression towards unfamiliar people, animals, or situations due to their inability to appropriately interpret and react to social cues.
• Learned behaviour – Excessive barking can also stem from learned behaviour, where dogs have been inadvertently rewarded for barking in the past, reinforcing the behaviour as a way to gain attention or rewards.
• Hidden health issues – Excessive barking may be linked to underlying health problems, such as hearing loss, brain ageing in senior dogs, or conditions causing discomfort or pain, leading dogs to bark more than usual.

Taking time to monitor your dog’s behaviour can help you understand where the problems stem from and determine if your dog is exhibiting unusual behaviours. If any of the previously mentioned issues apply to your case, please don’t wait; contact our experts, and let’s discuss how we can help!
