</div>
<p>The <a title="super bark stop ultrasonic" href="http://stopbarkingdogblog.com" target="_blank">Viatek Super Bark Stop</a> is an ultrasonic indoor/outdoor device.</p>
<p>It is used to control (and sometimes eliminate) nuisance barking without electric shock or other inhumane methods.</p>
<p>When the dog barks, the device emits an ultra high frequency sound that is irritating to the dog, and in most cases, the barking will cease at least temporarily.</p>
<p>This device is more humane than shock collars and can be helpful in behavior modification training. If you can get the model close enough you can quiet the neighbor&#8217;s noisy dogs, without having to call them up in the middle of the night! (about 15 feet is maximum effectiveness)<span id="more-905"></span></p>
<p>It can also be useful in controlling your own beloved pooch while you are away from your home or apartment, when excessive barking may draw the ire of<em> your</em> neighbors.</p>
<h2><strong>Success Rate of Ultrasonic Devices</strong></h2>
<p>It does not work for all dogs and all situations; for example, you may not be able to get it close enough to the neighbor dogs, or your dog may be hard of hearing &#8212; however, the manufacturer does offer a satisfaction guarantee.</p>
<p>There is a handheld version of the device, as well as two larger units for indoor or outdoor use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2>Stop Your Dog From Barking</h2>
<div id="attachment_1223" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://stopbarkingdogblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/barking-dog1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1223" title="barking-dog" src="http://stopbarkingdogblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/barking-dog1-300x225.jpg" alt="Stop Your Dog from Barking" width="300" height="225" /></a>

</div>
<p>You just got a new dog. Your excited about it and have decided on a name. Now that you have it home you have to train it.</p>
<p>One of the first problems most dog owners have is teaching their dog when it is okay to bark and when it is not okay to bark. In this article we will take a look at a few ways you can get started training quickly.</p>
<h2><strong>Positive Reinforcement Techniques</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Positive reinforcement</strong> is the first thing you have to make your dog understand. When it doesn&#8217;t bark upon your request it will be rewarded with a treat. If your dog does not obey your command then you will not give it a treat.</p>
<h2><strong>Why is Your Dog Barking?</strong></h2>
<p>Is there a reason your dog is doing all that <strong>barking</strong>? This is the most important question you need to ask yourself. If you know why your <em>dog is barking</em> you can train it much more easily. Is your dog just bored? Do you have a lonely dog? Are your neighbors teasing it while he is outside? Find out the reason and then address that reason.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important that you assign your dog a command for when you want it to stop barking. For example, you could say “<strong>No Bark</strong>”. Make sure that you assign your dog a certain behaviour to go along with the command, also. You may want your dog to sit or go lay down upon your command.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://stopbarkingdogblog.com/go/citronellaspraycollar/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>&gt;&gt;Order Citronella Spray Collars Now. Low Prices And Fast Delivery&lt;&lt;</strong></span></span></a></h3>
<h2><strong>Crate Training</strong></h2>
<p>The third tip is to crate train your dog. The crate can be used to put your dog in if he doesn&#8217;t obey your command. This is a great way to handle things if your dog barks at people who come to the door. On the other hand this won&#8217;t work if your dog is bored and lonely.</p>
<h2><strong>What Is Acceptable</strong></h2>
<p>The fourth tip is to decide how you want your dog to really respond. Many people do not like it when their dog barks at someone who comes to the door. But how bad really is that? Your dog is simply trying to warn you. You may want to allow your dog to bark three times and then respond a certain way. For example, you could let your dog bark three times and then go sit by the door.</p>
<h2><strong>Anti Barking Devices</strong></h2>

	<a href="http://stopbarkingdogblog.com/go/citronellaspraycollar/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-1065    " style="margin: 2px 1px;" title="citronella spray collar" src="http://stopbarkingdogblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/citronella-spray-collar.jpg" alt="citronella spray collar" width="210" height="210" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Citronella Spray Collars</p>
</div>
<p>The fifth tip is to use a stop barking collar if nothing else seems to work. Shock collars are not as bad as most people think they are because you do have some control over the amount of shock. Keep in mind that there are other types of collars you can use besides a shock collar.</p>
<p>Teaching your dog <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-stop-dog-barking-1">how to stop barking</a> isn&#8217;t going to be easy. You should get started right now before your dogs barking gets even worse. So, put a few of these <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/Dog-Bark-Training">stop dog barking techniques</a> to good use before things do get worse.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2>&#8220;Is my dog barking too much due to <strong>S</strong><strong>eparation Anxiety</strong>?&#8221;</h2>
<p>Canine <em>separation anxiety</em> refers to your puppy or dog&#8217;s fear as a result of being separated from you &#8212; the pack leader.  This specific nervous condition becomes worse and worse, without training or behavioral intervention, and will begin to happen every time you leave the house.  It may even begin to happen every time you leave the room.</p>
<p>Since dogs are pack animals, by nature, your dog feels most secure and comfortable when he is part of the pack.  His pack may be headed by a human, but it&#8217;s all the same to him.</p>
<h2><strong>&#8220;So my dog is anxious.  Why is this such a problem?&#8221;</strong></h2>
<p>The resulting behaviors, caused by separation anxiety, will be things like <a title="stop barking dogs" href="http://stopbarkingdogblog.com" target="_self">excessive barking</a>, whining, chewing up everything in sight and going potty (on purpose) in the house.  Your dog may exhibit just one of these symptoms, or maybe all of the symptoms. Excessive barking is very likely to be one of the main manifestations. Not sure if your dog is barking and whining while you are out?  Your neighbors may be able to fill you in!</p>
<h2><strong>&#8220;What can I do about Separation Anxiety?&#8221;</strong></h2>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 180px">
	<a title="blondie 020" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7363473@N07/2841626694/"><img style="margin: 5px 9px; border: 0pt none;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3046/2841626694_27b79b2d36_m.jpg" alt="Crate Training" width="180" height="240" border="0" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Crate Training</p>
</div>
<p>One of the recommended methods for alleviating the problem is to <strong>crate-train</strong> your best friend.  You will most likely have to help your pooch overcome his apprehension about his new &#8216;house&#8217;, so plan on spending some time on this in  the beginning. Place the <a href="http://stopbarkingdogblog.com/dog-training-tips/training-a-puppy-the-crate-method/">crate </a>somewhere where he will feel safe and comfortable to enter and also exit.  Leave the door open at first, and let him get used to coming and going as he pleases.  Never, ever drag him or force  him into the crate.  It may take a few days for him to feel okay about his new digs.  Over time, he should actually begin to prefer the crate as a place to sleep, relax or get away from things that make him nervous or uncomfortable.</p>
<p>Once he is comfortable with coming and going, begin to shut the door for 5-10 minutes at a time, while you remain in the room.  Praise him, but don&#8217;t coddle him and feed his insecurities.  Gradually increase the time spent in the crate, with the door latch closed.  Leave the room for awhile and then return.</p>
<p>Always praise him for good behavior.  Don&#8217;t reward whining or panicked behavior.  Act calmly yourself, as if nothing should be bothering him. Reward his calm, quiet behavior with a treat or positive words.</p>
<p>Plan to work with him over a period of several days, before just locking him in and leaving for work.  Practice asking him to get into his <strong>crate</strong> and then getting your keys and leaving the room.  Eventually, leave the house for a couple of hours, while you go to the store.  Soon, he will be ready to accept his <em>crate</em> for an entire day while you are gone to work.  Always, always make sure that he has had the opportunity to relieve himself prior to locking him into the crate for an extended amount of time.  If you have worked up gradually to this point, your dog should no longer be barking excessively, whining and acting out when you leave. He will feel safe, secure and calm inside his crate.</p>
<p>If all goes well, the barking problem that is a result of separation anxiety will be resolved.  And won&#8217;t your neighbors be happy?!</p>
