Spitz barking loud
 

My spitz male 1.5 years old bark very loud at motorcycle sound of postman passing by (HEM!) Any suggestions how to teach him not to behave in this way. Quite annoying to neighbours. He also bark loud at other dogs passing by.

Hi Frank,

Most dogs will bark at anything that seems foreign to them. That's what they do. They are dogs. However, barking can be a problem if it becomes excessive.
To help you address your problem, I need to know a few more details related to your dog's barking problem. Is he crated/chained while he is barking at these people? Has he had any bad experiences with any of the people/dog he's barking at? Does your dog know any basic commands? Sit, Stay etc?
Before we can address the barking, we need to first identify the triggers that are causing the barking. Once we have the triggers, there are techniques that we can use to easily fix this problem.

Sounds like its time for No bark control. I had a dog who no matter what I did, would bark at ANYONE or ANYTHING that he wasn't comfortable with. We got one, and it is very humane and has stopped his excessive barking! Good luck, this is a tough one!{wink}
