It happens that the fear and anxiety of a dog is associated with its emotional state, a sense of insecurity. Closer communication, even tone, calm friendliness of the owner will help the dog to be less anxious. Sometimes, sedatives prescribed by the veterinarian are additionally required. And besides, the animal will be nervous and alarmed if loud tense conversations, screams, and other manifestations of the conflict are often heard in the house.

If the habit of barking is already deeply rooted and you can’t get rid of it in gentle ways, don’t forget: any reputable pet products website offers anti-collar collars. In this category there are models that splash water (it is recommended to add natural flavors, for example, citrus oils to water), models with vibration, and the toughest version - with an electroshock device. Be careful: shock devices can not work well on long-haired breeds, and when they work, they can increase the animal's nervousness. Vibrating devices are effective for the first several times, and then their effectiveness may decrease. Then they can be temporarily removed.
