How To Train A Dog To Stop Alert Barking

Learn how to train a dog to stop alert barking in this video tutorial.

Alert barking is the kind of barking that a dog does when the mailman walks by the house, or when the doorbell rings, or when the dog hears something that they think is a threat.

Alert barking is usually a deeper and slower sounding bark.

In this video you will learn how to train a dog to stop barking by teaching the the quiet command.

The first part of training your dog not to bark is actually teaching him to bark on command.

Once you train your dog to bark on command, you can then train him on command to stop the barking using the word quiet or what ever word you choose to use.

I tried this with my dogs and pieces of ham for like 5-10 minutes and they quickly realized I didn't want them to bark, I'll continue this thanks alot!! ❤

Nice to have a teaching video without the sound of dogs barking 😁 those always set off our very alert little mutt

I tried this. Consistently. After a week, when I thought it worked because i was going downstairs to make him "quiet" I noticed he wasn't barking at anything anymore but barking more and more often just to make me go downstairs and give him a treat

Kudos to Bright Dog Academy. My dog would go absolutely BARK CRAZY every time my neighbors walked there dogs past our living room window. Bark, Bark, Bark, Bark, etc. I was constantly yelling STOP IT!!! And then I literally just kept the blinds drawn all day just to get peace. It's only been 3 attempts and she's already getting it. Thank you BDA!!! Love the fear behavior training video too. (And I went lol)

You saved our lives.
No one has demonstrated a method this clear and simple and we've scoured the internet.
Can't thank you enough <3

Glad I watched this. The article I read said to say “quiet” only when they start barking. Saying it once they stop makes much more sense

Brilliant and I love that you state it takes 2-3 weeks.

Great advice. I’m going to try this. But what happens if after he’s quiet and gets the treat then starts barking again? Should I repeat the process or after he’s treated remove him from the ‘bark trigger’ to avoid that.

The best is to have the patience’s while training my little Yorkie, but I haven’t found a way to stop his barking. This is so great! Thank you!

Even though the barking sounds of Alex aren''t quite necessary, Alex has actually made a really neat video as the use of a white board let us follow the instructions and imprint them mentally at the same time. It is far clearer than the use of embedded sentences that get left behind as the video moves on. And even better than the video is that his suggestions actually worked with a dog a looked after for a friend! Congratulations and thanks! Will search for more videos!

Hi, thank you for the video. It’s really useful. How can we train them to stop barking when we are sleeping?

[chibywallah]

I really like your dog training videos! Thank you for sharing!

[lovepeaceandhappinesstheha]

This is an awesome technique ! I haven’t found a video quite like yours, which is such a good thing because a lot of them are super confusing or it’s not an instance where it applies to me so this one actually does I’ll have to let you know how it works out for me thank you so much for your expertise

[greenthumb]

Great advice. Finally some real ideas on how to control alert barking

[montezlivingston]

I think this guy is pretty good with his knowledge of training.. for the people that don't agree why comment in the first place!

This sounds totally doable. I am going to try it, my little dog picked up the barking from neighbor's dog and became more and more yappy. Then our big dog moved in and now she is picking up the barking from the little one. It's a chain reaction here along with neighbor's dogs. Definitely trying this.

My roomies dogs (they have 3 indoor dogs) bark at everything. The house is at the end of a private road so we dont get many cars driving down the gravel road. Their chihuahua barks at everything & i mean everything... neighbors across the street outside mowing, ups delivery pulls in 3 houses down. It dont matter. It starts to bark & gets the 2 labs barking. It doesnt stop barking till after the person is done mowing or that ups truck leaves. If my roomie pulls into the driveway its really barking & wont stop till shes actually inside & shutting the front door. Theyll even bark at squirrels or wild animals in the yard. Ive even seen them barking at birds in the neighbors yard. Everyone just yells "shut up" or something like that & that chihuahua doesnt respond to them yelling until whatever got them barking leaves the neighborhood. I can imagine the neighbors get quite annoyed...i get annoyed too but when i ask my roomie or her hubby "why isnt anyone training these dogs to stop?" I get laughed at and many times their responses are "oh its just Diva being diva" (the chihuahua name is Diva. Most of the time if someone yells "no bark" or "shut up", normally both of their labs stop, its just the chihuahua that doesnt. Surprised that dog hasnt lost its voice from the constant barking when she starts.

Since these arent my dogs, what can i do to get this dog to chill out on the alert barking? I know their owners (my roomie) isnt going to train them. They rarely play with them. I never see these dogs go for a walk either unless me or my son takes them walking so they rarely see whats outside past the dirt road were on.
