A barking dog can pretty much keep your neighbors from talking to you. Either that or you just get dirty looks in passing. It doesn't have to be this way because believe it or not your dog can be reformed. It's all about training and the training he never received. Since your dog has his own language and doesn't speak yours you need to teach him specifics to let him know what he is doing does not

Where is everybody?A very big disappointment for Richard Barnbrook BNP mayoral candidate, this morning. After going to all the expense of hiring armour, horse and a green fluffy dragon suit, at 11.00am the man who hopes to get elected to the London Assembly on 1 May got on his horse (well pony) and led a parade – or rather a group that struggled to get into double figures – from the Broadway Theatre in Barking, down East Street and terminating at Barking Park.It was all over in 30 minutes, no masses of adoring flag waving crowds, in fact nobody at all other than the eight police officers on bikes with their Inspector.Dicky was not a happy bunny and was last seen heading for the Capt Cook to drown his sorrows.We wonder whether he has to declare the costs of this farce on his election e

by Adam Hunault Recently I had the pleasure of attending the Star Trek books panel at New York Comic Con. I was fascinated as the editor and a few authors described what was to come in Star Trek fiction. In middle school I read close to a hundred of these paperback novels. Maybe I should check these books out again, I thought during the panel, and snapped up a free preview of the upcoming novels. I opened it to the first page of Star Trek: Enterprise: Kobayashi Maru, by Michael A. Martin & Andy Mangels (or possibly Christopher L. Bennett, the preview booklet credits both in different places). I immediately remembered why I don’t read Star Trek novels.

Title: The Citronella Dog Collar - A Natural Way ForControlling A Dog's BarkingAuthor: Lee DobbinsIn this article we will look at a more natural way ofcontrolling a dog's barking compared to the more usual system ofshock collars. We are particularly going to look at thecitronella dog collar as a more effective type of dog barkcollar. In research carried out it has been found that thecitronella dog collar is twice as effective as many other typesof dog bark collars that are available especially the shockversions. This efficiency is put down to the use of thecitronella solution which is present in the collar. So when it comes to calming that "nuisance barking dog" then aspritz of fragrance under the chin has often been found to bemore effective than an electronic shock. This is

Title: Stopping the Barking Habit in Your DogAuthor: Patrick Carpen Stopping the Barking Habit in Your DogAll dogs will inevitably succumb to annoying habits. Mostof these habits are habits which affect you, the dog'sowner, and not everyone else. However, if you have a dogwho continuously barks, day in and day out, this isdefinitely a habit that will affect many more than justyourself. This is a habit that may come to such anout-of-control point in which your neighbors may becomequite perturbed, and this habit may even lead to somerun-ins with your local police force, which is definitelynot something you want to have to deal with.Initially, people began domesticating dogs in order to usethem as security or alert systems to give protection to thefamily who owned them. Now, su

Something truly amazing has happened to me in the last month. Let me explain.For about 32 seconds, I had ambitions of becoming a famous blogger who had thousands of people visiting her site daily (much like Pioneer Woman...but without the cooking and the photos...just the fans) to read her latest madcap adventure and then comment with much adoration and glee. I'd have companies contacting me for fabulous giveaways and people would come in droves to see what was going on over here.Then I realized it was work. (insert screeching record sound here) And I already worked full time at home, plus I homeschooled. So it wasn't working. Per se. Plus, I never wrote anything - because I was feeling like everything had to be witty and thoughtful and (gasp!) really well written. That's a lot of pressur

According to the AP, via MSG.com:Andy Pettitte made 47 throws on level ground Monday, two days after the New York Yankees left-hander was scratched from a scheduled start due to lower back spasms."I feel better," Pettitte said. "I felt good enough to go out there and throw." Pettitte threw for five minutes on a back field with pitching coaching Dave Eiland. "It's still tight," Pettitte said. "There's still a little pull back there when I try to get out over my front side. So we'll see how I feel tomorrow."If he is unable to pitch from the mound tomorrow, he will have to be pushed back from his April 2nd start in the Bronx. Instead of starting someone like Rasner or Karstens, I'd push Pettitte back to the 4th or 5th starter spot. If he can't go at that point, then I'd start Rasner or Kars

That is hopefully now fixed (blue play button below) and I've softened up my tone for the poor dogs in question as it wasn't totally P.C. (except for 'Brucey' - you I still hate with a vengeance!)I've mentioned dog themes in previous posts (e.g. post A and post B )I remember as a kid, our next door neighbour had this Jack Russell/Pitbull mongrel called Bruce (we called it Brucey after the tv host of the 'Generation Game' as like him it liked to talk(bark) a lot). Brucey liked to bark at the birds. He would chase them if they landed anywhere near the garden and even if they were perched 3 metres above in a tree, he would bark and bark until

Depending on where you live and what you consider good taste for your pet some barking is greatly appreciated. Stay at home mom or dads like the fact the Fido barks when someone has came to the door unexpected. They did a good job by alerting the owner of potential danger or maybe just the fact that there might be something out there that you needed to know about.I can tell you from my personal experience that our family dog saved me from a rabid raccoon that was camped out in our front yard. Now we lived in the middle of a small town and you would have never expected to walked out of your front door and straight into the jaws of a rabid animal. She followed me to the door and was whining and barking and made sure she was the first one out. The sad new is we lost. I was 12 at the time and

All dogs bark, it's their way to communicate a message. Dog barks for various reasons: to greet, to alert, out of boredom, to attract attention or when they are excited. Although some barking from is acceptable, too much barking is certainly annoying, especially for your neighbors and eventually leading to complains. The easiest way to stop a problematic barker is to control his barking while you are at home:Set up a situation where your dog will always bark. For example, you can ask someone to ring your doorbell or knock on your door.When your dog charges to the door and start to bark loudly, approach your dog, grab his collar and give the command quiet no shouting please, it doesn't help.If he stops barking, praise and reward. He's a genius and deserves it.When he continues barking, close his mouth with your hand, wrap your fingers around his muzzle use both hands if needed, and give the command for him to keep quiet.

Richard Barnbrook, the British National Party’s leader on Barking and Dagenham Council, seems to think that incurable and often fatal industrial diseases are a bit of a joke.Councillors at last month’s full council meeting were asked to approve a site for a permanent memorial to the many local victims of asbestos. Barking and Dagenham has one of the country’s highest incidences of asbestos-related diseases because of the former Cape Asbestos factory in the borough. Many of the people who contracted asbestosis or mesothelioma were wives of workers who washed their husbands’ overalls.The proposal for a memorial arose from a petition from local people, led by the Barking and Dagenham Asbestosis Victims’ Support Group and the trade union Unison. Councillors had been given a report in advance of the meeting and at the meeting the council’s Corporate Director of Customer Services outlined the background explaining that it had cost £1.2 million to make the area safe and that a me

To continue on the Bus Stop theme, I thought I’d share how I got my dogs to stop barking like maniacs every time the bus rounded the corner. But first a little background on how I came upon the solution: There is a woman I know who I aspire to be when I grow up. She is a retired Ph.d. psychologist and is well into her second career as a dog trainer. In my opinion, she ranks as one of the top trainers in the country. But she’s a private person, so if any of you live in western NC and need a good trainer, please contact me and I’ll put you in touch with her. We were talking on the phone the other day, when a UPS truck drove up. Naturally, her six dogs started barking. Instead of yelling at them to stop (which is what most people would do), she went outside and said to them, “So guys, something interesting out here? I see it’s the UPS truck. Thank you. Now let’s go inside.” I could hear all the dogs scurry inside. Instead of continue to bark (whic

I love dogs.I think they feel it, because every time there is a dog nearby he sees me and looks at me and we talk with the eyes and the expression of the face.I feel he understands me as much as I understand him.When I was little I always dreamed to own a dog , but, having a mother peculiar with cleaning and a spotless home, I could never bring one in the house.So, as soon as I went to live by myself, I bought one.I had a few dogs, but the one I loved best was my little Daisy.She was a puddle and was my shadow.Wherever I went she was with me.It was hard to teach her to sleep in her room, in her own bed.She loved couches and beds and especially she loved the places where I was.That is why once in a while you need dog gates, because they are the only way to teach them to stay away from precious couches and beds.As much as I love animals, I think we still have more rights than them.Not because they are inferior, just because we are more "civilized" and more "polite".We do not loose hair o

By: peterIt is a normal phenomenon for a dog to bark from time to time but sometimes this behavior intensifies the annoyance of many dog owners. It has been found that the habit which has been created in the childhood seems to continue to exist in their later stage if not treated well. There can be various reasons that cause unwanted barking which needs to be solved by canvassing the cause before you begin the program of retraining with the help of your animal behaviorist or veterinarian.Among the various causes of unwanted barking the most important is attention seeking barking. Your dog may have developed this habit in his younger stage to seek attention especially when he is left alone for long periods of time. If barking is suspected as an unwanted behavior then you can you can start to retrain allowing him to explore the world around him and taking an obedience class which is good mental exercise and will help you to better communicate with your dog. You can also take your dog in

I have been a really good dog this week as Mum has not been around during the day to take me for walks, so I have been staying with my Nan and she gives me about four short walks spaced out every few hours. I must say I have also been sleeping a lot, and then when Mum comes back I have lots of energy to tell her off and demand a very long walk with lots of barking and playbites.

I had clients that have “shake cans” on the sofa (to keep the dog off ), hidden under pillows and outside the door for visitors to shake as they enter the home to prevent jumping.. be sure to use a command with the shake of the can so that you will eventually be able to go sans can.. SHAKE CAN This is a wonderful NON physical & very effective CORRECTION tool. Take a cola can, put 10 pennies, bolts, screws, nails, etc.in the can. I really like metal on metal rather than stones or rocks. Put duct tape over the opening to prevent items from flying out. When your dog engages in a behavior you wish to stop, SHAKE the can ONCE. This is once UP/DOWN. You do not shake, shake, shake the can. If you do, the dog will quickly desensitize to the startle/stop effect of the sudden, unpleasant sound. When you use the shake can on an undesirable behavior, your dog will startle/stop the behavior & look around for the offending NOISE. Use this break in the behavior to give them t

Dogs in Mount Dora, Florida will need to limit their barking according to a new ordinance just passed by the City Council there. Fido can bark. Just as long as the dog is not yapping for longer than five minutes or sporadically for half an hour. That’s what City Council members decided Tuesday in their controversial efforts to modify Mount Dora’s noise ordinance to quiet barking pooches who bother their neighbors, but not make scofflaws out of dog lovers. “We don’t have any intention to form any task force to go after animals,” council member Michael Tedder said. “The true intent is to make the [dog] owners aware of their neighbors and their neighbors’ comfort.” After all, Mount Dora officials have long prided themselves on creating a dog-friendly community. The city opened a dog park in June. Downtown merchants — including a pet bakery on Donnelly Street — often leave water bowls outside their front doors for passing canines.

Dog barking sounds don't mean a lot to many people. For the most part, they are simply acknowledged as a sort of vocal exercises done by dogs, and those who aren't fond of these animals may even consider barking dogs a loud disturbance. However, they are much more than that. Dog barking sounds are actually a basic method of communication for dogs.Apart from that, there hasn't been a detailed explanation or better understanding as to why dogs bark and how they have managed to grow so different from their ancestor, the wolf. The latter also barks occasionally, but wolves in general much prefer howling as a way to communicate. This is a far cry from dogs, who appear to have a fondness for barking as often and as loudly as possible! Yet dogs share this fondness for barking with wolf cubs. This fact--along with many other similar physical features they share with dogs, as well as habits like the tendency to be submissive--has led experts to theorize on neoteny. Neoteny is a condition whe

I was sitting around here this morning eating an apple for breakfast contemplating what I was going to write about today and then it came to me. A voice with all the answers. Well … actually it was a bark. A series of them. Loud, shrill, and constant. I’ve heard them since this morning when they woke me up around 6AM. I heard them while I was trying to look over emails and get some work on a few other projects completed. I’ve heard them pretty much all day. So it’s time to rant, and I have a feeling what I’m going to say will be something that many people wish they could say to their neighbors. You know the ones. The ones that leave their dogs outside all day in the backyard so they can bark for hours at a time endlessly. First, I want to give you an idea of my living conditions. I’m currently self employed. Making little money at the moment, but I expect it to rise soon and once it does I intend to move out of the home I’m living i

He he, collies bark, which is no surprise. Levi is my most vocal dog. He is a sweetie with a ton of personality. This is a little video, just under a minute long, of him barking because he wants some dried chicken treats I just put up on the shelf behind the couch. He will do this for hours. Even if we are not home and there is something really good on the fridge, he will bark and bark, saying he wants some! I have seen him do it on the web cam. Goofball, I love my boy.

Honda have gone barking mad. I received an email from them today informing me that my name will be on their ‘Roll Call of Environmental Honour’, which means they are going to print my name on their new F1 car. Take a look at the intro sequence to their website, ‘My Earth Dream‘. Daft grandiose captions - “but we can do more than dream” - float above a picture of the earth, and then the car itself, in its earthy blue and green livery, zooms across the page. The bathos is extraordinary. Next time you see Jenson Button or Rubens Barrichello at the Grand Prix, look out for my name. It’s printed on the spoiler in 4pt lettering.

I was over at my Nan's house again yesterday - I think she likes having me there as a guard dog. Normally I walk up to her house and I go into the next door neighbour's garden first - these are the people who sometimes save a lamb bone for me. But yesterday something smelt different. The two dogs have arrived, they are staying for a week while their family goes on holiday. One dog, Ben, is a Border Collie, and the other is a Golden Labrador called Libby. The labrador is quite aggressive, which is unusual for a Labrador. She growled at me as soon as she saw me - cheek!! The Collie was a nice friendly dog, Mum seemed to like him and I had to give a little bark to remind her that I am her dog! The family are really enjoying looking after the dogs, and they are being paid, so they are very happy.

In some ways dogs can act very much like children. The child that whines and pitches a fit in the candy aisle of the grocery store often gets the candy that he wants, just so he’ll stop making a racket and embarrassing his parent. The dog that barks and acts obnoxious when you stop throwing the tennis ball often gets the ball thrown again, just so he’ll stop being such a pest. In both cases, being bad gets the desired result, so it is something that will be tried again and again, usually with great success.In dogs, this is called demand barking or nuisance barking and it is simply rude, pushy behavior. The dog may bark when he thinks it’s time to eat, if he wants you to throw his toy, if you’re not petting him, if he wants to come in the house, get out of his crate, or any other time when the dog isn’t getting his way. It is not at all acceptable behavior and taking a zero tolerance stand will make it go away. The key to getting your dog to stop demand barking is to completel

Why Is My Dog Barking? by Tom Selwyn When we communicate with the world we open our mouths and speak, either verbally or through body language.
