Hello. Recently I recieved a note from my neighbours that my dog had been barking fro more than an hour. Casper always barks when the apartment is empty. The vet gave me organic "medicine" which should calm Casper when he is alone but it didn't. I
Barking can be a very difficult behavior to control as you know. It sounds like you have tried many options. There are collars and devices that can help control barking. The collar options include shock collars with give a static correction when the pet barks, vibrate when it detects barking or spray collars that squirt fluid when pets bark. There are also devices that you place in the home that will emit an ultrasonic sound that pets don’t like when it detects barking. I recommend to read the product reviews carefully. You don’t want a product that malfunctions or gives unneeded corrections. You could also work with a trainer who may be more successful. Best of luck! I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Is there a special food or supplement I could give Copper for anxiety? I cant even let her out on her leash without her barking at people, or take her anywhere cause she runs. I have tried walking her to wear her out, but she just barks at everyone a
Hi there. You could try a daily natural calming supplement such as Zylkene or Composure, if you want to. An Adaptil pheromone collar can also be helpful for mild anxiety issues. If these things don't help, you may want to consider seeing a veterinary behaviorist to discuss a more comprehensive treatment plan for her anxiety issues, which may include prescription medication if needed.

What is a good option for stubborn barking dogs other than "shock collars"?
There are collars that have a small aerosol spray canister attached to them that give a short burst of a citronella spray to deter the dog from barking. Some people find this more appealing than the shock collar. I have used a shock collar in my own dog and I can honestly say it is not that bad. It does not hurt the dog, it just gives them an odd sensation. And most dogs will learn very quickly not to bark when they have the collar on. It took my dog less than a day to get used to it. He only barked once or twice before he learned to not bark while he had it on. It was a lifesaver for us! But you should choose whatever you feel most comfortable with. What works for one dog may not work for another. I hope this helps. Good luck.

My 5-year-old English bulldog really enjoys his walks, but any time a car goes by he starts pulling towards the car very aggressively and he barks like crazy. I am really afraid that he will get lose and get hurt. Apart from that, the rest of the tim
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. I would recommend using corrective collars like a pinch collar or gentle leader. These can help stop the pulling behavior. You may also look into the low voltage shock collars. These collars emit a small shock that is similar to being snapped by a rubber band. You can use this to correct the behavior and these collars can all be found online or at your local pet store. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

My dog is 7 months old and it whinnes and barks all night and it's also shows aggression if my parents take it's toy and it got red(partially) eyes
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Usually these behaviors can be corrected but this usually requires in person training by a qualified dog trainer. I recommend you consider contacting a qualified dog trainer to work with you in person. Good luck and have a good day!
