Non Stop Barking Female Dog...HELP!  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 88/100. panzerswifey (288) 4 years ago

My husband has a german shephard husky ...female and she barks non stop all day long. We have tried everything peanut butter, leaving extra food outside, running her around and she just will not shut up~!

As I type she is barking non stop and she does this for hours. My husband does not see a problem. The neighbors complain, I workrom home and have to have a completely quiet area and since she is non stop barking I cannot work.

What do I do?
How do I make her shut up? We have 2 other dogs and they do not bark unless strangers are coming to the house.
This dog barks at the wind. She is not neglected, the kids play with her, she is walked, we do everything.

Someone please give me good advice because that dog is driving me out of my mind!

Is the dog spayed? Also, is the dog allowed in the house...because I was thinking maybe she's barking to come in (?) Her hearing could be impaired too. Dogs who are even partially deaf will constantly bark. My Mom's dog barks all the time too...makes me crazy. He's hard of hearing and we think that's the cause. He barks to come in, so we let him in...then 5 mins. later he barks to go back out. And when my Mom goes on vacation for a week....he barks almost THE WHOLE TIME...and I'm the lucky one who gets to dog-sit...ha ha...she's leaving again in a week and I already know how bad he's gonna be


This is the barker

We let all the dogs in and out. as a matter of fact she will be barking and
if we try to bring her in she runs and we can't catch that big dog.

Her hearing is well she hears cars in the front driving up into or drive and she goes nuts. one day I cried all day because she would not shut up.
Someone told me give her peanut butter, well I did and she loved it.
She ate it and started barking and running, then came back for more peanut butter.
We do not know why she barks. I was going to buy a muzzle but I am not comfortable using a muzzle.
She is fixed could that be whats wrong with her?
My chihuahua is not fixed and she does not bark like that. but she does run away when we put clothes on her she finds a way under the gate and go and shows off.

And Sheva the barker barks and lets us know the chihuahua got out.
so her barking is good for somethings but not all the time..Like right no at 3am

Hmmm...it sounds like you've done everything right and you are a very responsible dog-owner. And having a dog spayed is always a GOOD thing...I thought maybe she was barking because she was going into heat every month...dogs that aren't fixed get restless and bark because they want to go wandering and looking for a mate. But she's fixed, so that's not the problem. Wow, your dog sounds really similar to my Mom's with the behavior. There are times when Blazer barks to come in...but when we open the door to let him in, he runs away and then starts walking/running in circles and barking. I told my Mom to get him dog tranquilizers...ha ha...and that's when she told me to shut up. But I really think they would help mellow him out a bit, I know they have dog Valium. When I see a dog barking, I take it as something must be bugging them or agitating them...I wonder if maybe they're just nervous or on-edge? That's all I can come up with. Maybe ask the vet and see what ideas he might have. Good Luck and let me know if anything works...because believe me, we have the SAME problem over here shocked. I've heard my Mom say things like, "That dog's gonna make me pull my hair out already"...it just never ends

Muzzle the dog when it barks. Leave it on for a few minutes and then take it off.

If the dog barks again, put the muzzle back on. Do this repeatedly and soon the dog will develop the capability to add bark + bark = muzzle.
Pretty soon you'll just have to say the word muzzle to stop the barking.
In a weeks time you can correct this problem. Take charge of your pet. You are the Alpha and need to keep thing in order. The dog just takes its clues from its owners and acts accordingly.
Teach the dog using a tool/reward system. You'll find they will be eager to learn.
Good luck with that and don't be afraid to be firm.
It was nice to meet you panzerswifey and welcome to MyLot.
