When you own many dogs who bark excessively, that’s a big problem. It can happen anytime, such as when as loud vehicle passes by your house, or when a cat is nearby. The outcome is still the same annoying barking. The situation is a migraine if you love silence in the house. Here are four steps to stop dogs from barking.

1. Take time to observe your dogs’ environment and behaviour. This will allow you to see what events or situations trigger their simultaneous and incessant barking. You can decide on your next course of action based on the info you gather. Such as whether to move your dogs to another area of the house, or get an ultrasonic remote dog trainer, which emits a high-pitched sound to disrupt the dogs when they bark.

3. Shop for a bark collar for your dogs There’s an outdoor dog trainer device you can install outside your house, but the problem is you can’t take it with you when you walk the dogs. It’s not designed to be easily removable once installed. The alternative is to use a no bark collar on each of your dogs.

3. Finding the right type and size Since you don’t want multiple trips to the vet store, it pays to note down the sizes of your dogs. Choose from a range of sizes for small, medium, or large dogs. The three kinds of collars, depend on the mechanism used to deter barking - spray, static, and ultrasonic. Depending on the type a collar can let out a sound, a vibration, a low shock, or a scent.

4. Start spending time to train your dogs Your dogs might not be comfortable wearing collars, so don’t leave them unsupervised while wearing it. In time, they might not notice it’s around their neck. Be observant, and note if they adjust to the stimulus of the collars; you may need to increase or decrease the intensity of the stimulus.

You may want to talk to veterinarians and dog supply staff to check if you understand correctly how to use the collars you bought. It’s also a wise policy to not dispose of the instructions and read them carefully. Observe these steps closely to stop dogs from barking.
