How to stop a barking siberian husky
When your husky is barking, the first step to take is to see if the behavior is appropriate. Most of the time the barking is excessive and can be controlled; however, it is guaranteed that it is your responsibility to provide for the needs of your Siberian husky. If you feel that your husky’s barking is excessive or needs to be controlled, you should ask yourself the following three questions:
When does my husky bark? What does my husky bark at? Are there specific triggers for my husky barking?
One method that does not work to prevent your Siberian husky from barking is to yell at him if he is barking because he is protecting his territory or is alarmed. If you yell at your husky in specific cases, it can result in biting or other forms of aggression. You want to train your Siberian husky to be good, not bad. Also, when you yell at your husky, he doesn’t understand what you’re saying and while it may stop the barking, it doesn’t fix the reason why they were barking. To better control and even stop your Siberian husky from barking, you need to understand why he’s barking.
It becomes your job as a leader to build or create an environment in which your husky doesn’t feel the need to defend himself. You must take control of the home and become the alpha leader. Your role is to show your husky that you are in charge of protecting that specific territory. Specific things you can do around the house are to close the blinds to hide the mailman, install fencing that prevents your Siberian husky from seeing out of the yard, and make sure to prevent the husky from having open access to windows. Stop barking dogs with anxiety
How do you stop your Siberian husky from barking when he has anxiety problems? It’s important to understand that barking can be the result of something much bigger. The husky wants your attention and will often bark until he gets the attention. Most of the time, his husky performed an action for which he has rewarded him in the past and wants that reward again. When you come home with your barking husky, he usually gets very excited. You usually pay attention to them right away when you return home. To prevent your husky from associating your return with attention, which may be the cause of his anxiety, ignore him for 10-15 minutes when you get home.
Lastly, to control your husky’s barking, you must teach him quiet commands and how to speak. By creating these commands, you will be able to better control your Siberian Husky’s behavior. You will be able to control his barking when it is not necessary, but when it is necessary your husky will not be afraid to alert you. If there’s an intruder, you’ll want your husky to alert you, but if he’s a relative or family member, you may not want to.
A barking Siberian husky doesn’t have to be a burden to the community. If you start early enough, you can stop your Siberian husky from barking and avoid angry neighbors who complain that his beautiful, precious husky has been barking all day.
