STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Puppy barks are beyond cute; adult dog barks, not so much
  • Barking is a natural canine behavior, so if you have a dog who likes to bark a lot, the goal is not to punish barking, but to reward silence
  • It’s best to nip puppy barking early, but even older dogs can be trained not to bark excessively
  • Crate training, plenty of exercise, a consistent daily routine and ongoing socialization can also be very beneficial in helping your dog break the barking habit
