Excessive Dog Barking: Causes, Solutions & Training Tips
Persistent barking is a widespread behavior concern that many dog owners struggle to manage. While barking is completely natural, constant or uncontrollable barking can become stressful for both owners and neighbors. The key to solving this problem isn’t just stopping the noise—it’s understanding why your dog is barking in the first place.
What Is Excessive Barking?
Dogs bark as a form of communication—it’s how they express emotions, alert you, or respond to their environment.
However, barking becomes “excessive” when:
It happens frequently or for long periods.
It disrupts daily life or sleep.
It signals an underlying problem (stress, boredom, etc.)
Why Do Dogs Bark Excessively?
Understanding the root cause is critical because every type of barking requires a different solution.
1. Attention-Seeking
Dogs quickly learn that barking gets your attention—even negative attention works.
👉 Example: Barking when you’re on your phone or working
2. Boredom & Lack of Exercise
Dogs with too much pent-up energy often bark out of frustration.
👉 Common in high-energy breeds or dogs left alone for long hours
This on-line company is such a good find. They provide quality products at a good price with delivering them efficiently. Definitely recommend purchasing from them.
Two sweet girlies decided to make our deck their home. Mosquitoes are a big problem where we live and we had to get them protected. This was the best bang for the buck. I’ve ordered from 79Pets several times and while delivery is not fast it is very consistent.
As a retired veterinary technician I was extremely happy to finally see a flea and heartworm medication that actually does tapeworms too!!!!!!! This is a 1st to my knowledge....I live in a tropical climate where fleas never die so this is heaven sent.
Great price, authentic quality and reliable shipping. Shipping takes a bit longer, since it is being shipped from abroad. But still a reliable service.
After Seresto collars failed to get rid of fleas, I didn't know where to turn. I saw a post on a page I follow (Kentucky Kitty Cats) saying that they use Nexgard Combo for the cats they shelter. I decided to try it and IT WORKS!
This is Lexi Marie! She was wondering why mom was so excited for buying flea medicine. I explained to her that we saved $100 and that she would understand some day when she grows up.
Last year, I made a visit to the vet. I told them that Kattie/cat had ear mites. They gave me an ointment costing $80canadian. I used it up and purchased another bottle. $160. total not including the cost of the vet visit. No results. The ear mites have been there for a long time. Canadian vets have control of what is sold in Pet stores and you cannot purchase off the shelf products not recognized by them.
I jumped at the chance to purchase your produce with a recommended 100% effectivity. I was willing to try, but was suspicions.
After a month there was still a little scratching but after 6 weeks, the mites are gone and the scratching is gone.
Thank you very much for this mite solution. I recommend it heartily. Harry
P.S. Do not tell the Canadian vets as they will outlaw your product.
En fait, c'est le seul produit dont mon chat "Winston" ne soufre pas de problèmes cutané et perte de poils, le "Révolution plus" fait très bien le travail, merci.
