Boston Terrier Barking

How To Stop Boston Terrier Barking

It is very common for Boston Terrier puppies to start barking at different things when they are excited or frustrated. This behavior can be very disruptive to both you and your neighbors. You will want to get an explanation as to why your Boston Terrier starts barking at the doorbell, the car door, the laundry hamper, or even the mailman.

He may seem like a very calm and patient dog but when he gets excited, he can be destructive to his home and those around him. This article will give you the information you need on how to deal with this type of dog.

Boston Terrier barking usually happens when they are excited and this is common to all dogs. They want to be able to communicate with their owners and be let out so they can play with their brothers and sisters. Boston Terriers tend to be quiet dogs and therefore have a very low barking tendency. Even when they do bark, it’s usually a soft low woof instead of a high pitched bark. But, sometimes, certain situations could trigger them to a much more constant braking response.

A good way to determine if your Boston Terrier is barking due to something that you’ve done to disrupt their normal behavior is to give them a “quiet command” followed by a reward afterward.

For example, you can tell them to stop barking at the door before they enter by giving them the “door” command followed by a treat. They will then understand that whenever you tell them to stop barking, you mean giving them the “door” command and a treat.

By using this “do not disturb” order each time, you will teach your dog that this will happen when he goes into his “home.” This is a much better way to deal with this type of dog than resorting to hitting them or yelling at them because they keep barking at nothing.

Another reason why your Boston terrier might be barking excessively could be that they are bored. Most Boston terriers love to play with toys or other small animals. But, if they’re constantly bored, they may start barking non-stop. It’s important not to punish your dog for barking as this will only make things worse. Instead, take some time out of every day to play with him and show him how great playing with you is.

To determine what is causing your dog to bark excessively, try to think back to the times when you were angry at him.

Did your dog become completely silent during those times? Was he completely beside himself? If so, there’s a good possibility that your Boston Terrier is having a psychological reaction to a past trauma that it might still be processing.

Training your Boston terrier should not include physical punishment, but rather a praise and positive reinforcement. Once you have figured out the cause of his barking, the key to solving the problem is to teach your dog that it’s okay to bark.

There are several different ways to teach your dog this, such as using the clicker training method. Clickers are small electronic devices that you affix to your dog’s collar with a rubber ring. When the sound of the clicking sound is heard, the corresponding command is issued and your Boston terrier starts to bark.

Another type of training is through voice instruction.

A voice instruction technique that works well with this breed of dog is to say “Good Boy” each time your Boston terrier barks. This will associate the sound of your voice with non-barking and positive behavior. Once your dog learns to associate the sound of your voice with good behavior, it will be much easier to curb his excessive barking.

While these terriers are very loving and devoted, they can often be stubborn and hard to discipline. It can take a bit of patience and commitment to get this breed of dog under control. The reward for all of your efforts is a dog that stays on your side for years to come. With some dedicated and frequent training, Boston terriers can quickly become one of your best friends.
