Press Release Summary = While some barking and other vocalizing is perfectly normal,
in many cases barking, howling and whining can become problematic. This is
particularly important for those living in apartment buildings, or in closely spaced
homes. Fielding complaints about barking is not the best way for you and your dog
to meet the neighbors.


Press Release Body = Anyone who owns a dog or puppy will eventually run into the
need to eliminate unwanted habits. While most dogs are eager to please their owners
and smart enough to do what is asked of them, it is important for the owner to
properly communicate just what constitutes acceptable and unacceptable behaviors.



Each type of unacceptable behavior requires its own specific cures, and in most
cases the cures will need to be tailored to fit the specific personality of the dog.
Every breed of dog has its own unique personality characteristics, and every
individual within that breed has his or her own unique personality.



Whining, howling and excessive barking
Let's start with one of the most frequently encountered problem behaviors in both
dogs and puppies. While some barking and other vocalizing is perfectly normal, in
many cases barking, howling and whining can become problematic. This is
particularly important for those living in apartment buildings, or in closely spaced
homes. Fielding complaints about barking is not the best way to meet the neighbors.



Some tips of dealing with excessive whining, barking and howling include:


. If a puppy or dog is howling or whining while confined to its crate,
immediately take it to its toilet area. Most puppies and dogs will whine when they
need to do their business.


. It is important to teach a dog or a puppy to accept being alone. Many dogs
suffer from separation anxiety, and these stressed dogs can exhibit all sorts of
destructive and annoying behaviors. It is important to accustom the puppy to being
left on its own, even when the owner is at home.


. Always strive to make the puppy or dog as comfortable as possible. Always
attend to the physical and psychological needs of the dog by providing food, water
and toys.
. If the dog is whining, check for obvious reasons first. Is the water dish
empty? Is the dog showing signs of illness? Has his or her favorite toy rolled
under the furniture? Is the temperature of the room too hot or too cold?


. Do not reward the puppy or dog for whining. If the dog whines when left
alone, for instance, it would be a mistake to go to the dog every time it whines.


. After it is ensured that the dog's physical needs are being met, and that
discomfort is not responsible for the whining, do not hesitate to reprimand the dog
for inappropriate behavior.
