How to Stop a Siberian Husky From Barking
When your husky is barking, the first step you should take is to see if the behavior is appropriate. Most of the time barking is excessive and can be controlled; however, you are assured that it is your responsibility to provide for your Siberian Husky’s needs. 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. Yelling at your husky in specific instances can result in biting or other forms of aggression. You want to train your Siberian Husky to behave well, not misbehave. 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 they were barking. To better control and even prevent your Siberian Husky from barking, you need to understand why he barks.
It becomes your job as a leader to build or create an environment where your husky doesn’t feel the need to defend himself. You must take control of the household 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 shutters to hide the postman, 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 is important to understand that barking can be the result of something much larger. The husky wants your attention and often he will bark until he receives the attention. Most of the time, his husky did an action that he has rewarded him for in the past and wants that reward again. When you bring your barking husky home, he usually gets very excited. You usually pay attention to them right away when you get back home. To prevent your husky from associating your return with attention, which may be causing his anxiety, ignore him for 10-15 minutes when you get home.
Lastly, to control your husky’s barking, you need to teach him quiet commands and how to talk. By creating these commands, you will be able to better control the behavior of your Siberian Husky. 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 is an intruder, you will want your husky to alert you, but if he is a relative or family member, you may not.
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.
