Dog Barking At Night

Is the dog barking at night almost more than you can stand? Is it your dog or the neighbor dog? That really makes a difference. Dogs naturally bark, but barking at night or just uncontrolled barking is a huge nuisance.

Dogs bark for several reasons and the best way to deal with barking is to understand why the dog is barking. Now if it is a neighbor dog you may have no control over the dog. In this case, you can try talking to the neighbor. But of course, they probably don't know what to do. Sadly, excessive dog barking is usually a result of a failure of training. But convincing your neighbor to train the dog not to bark is a tough sell.

Dog Collars

One option for dealing with the neighbor dog barking is an ultrasonic noise generator. These noise generators blast out noise not audible to humans. If the dog starts barking, the noise starts until the barking stops. Many dogs cannot handle the noise and will not bark to avoid the racket. But it doesn't work with all dogs. Some dogs just keep barking. The noise generator may work for your own dog too as an option.

If the barking dog is yours, the best approach is to think about the dog's situation. Dogs bark at night for one of several reasons, or a combination of reasons.

Boredom is one main cause of barking. During the day, your dog may have plenty of stimulation and activity, but at night boredom may set in and so may the barking. Never forget that the barking does not bother your dog. At least as long as no negatives are linked with the barking by you! Dogs are social creatures and if your dog has no interaction with your or other dogs the yapping may start. Is there a way to make sure the dog has plenty of interaction and play so night time is not a problem?

Another potential cause of night time barking is lack of exercise. Many dog owners underestimate the exercise required by their pet. Breeds vary greatly in exercise needed. Your under exercised dog is a bundle of energy just looking to go. Too much energy comes out as noise. More exercise for dogs means less energy for barking.

Another common night challenge is loneliness. This is related to boredom but a little different. Loneliness also includes some fear. The dark is scary to your dog like it is to some people. Barking is that expression of loneliness and a little fear. Deal with loneliness by letting the dog stay with you or putting the dog in a place with a secure feeling. This may be as simple as closing your dog in the dog house over night.

You can get dog training aids including barking dog collars, but the best way to start dealing with noisy dogs is to understand and deal with the real cause for the barking.
