How to Dog Anxiety Training guide. Learn how to train dogs with anxiety at your neighborhood Petco.
Choosing the best dog training treat all depends on your dog's preference and what environment you will be training in. Take a look at these recommendations from Petco positive dog training experts.
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.

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.
I suggest you try a citronella bark collar as the first option. They work well in most cases and are not harmful. This is not a shock collar. This video should explain more about them and how they work. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXwstVpzALY&t=102s )
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. You can search for one in your area here: www.dacvb.org
There are many different training methods for helping dogs to stop barking. Repetitions, consistency, and positive reinforcement are the three mainstays of training for almost all aspects of canine behavioral modification. Since she is stopping immediately sometimes, she is either recognizing your desire for her to stop or there is something that is occurring that both you and her are unaware of that is making her stop. You will have to think hard about the times that she stops and the times that she doesn't, and consider what may be different. If you are able to figure that out, training her will become much easier. Since I am assuming the majority of the barking occurs while you are walking Snowball, the best thing you can do is reward any positive behavior you see while you are partaking in this activity. Carry a small pouch of dog treats with you at all times. If Snowball starts barking and going towards whatever the stimulus might be, stop movement, have her her heel, and t
