Tips on reducing nuisance barking:
When your dog is alone:
If your dog is going to be left on it’s own for a period of time the following suggestions may assist in occupying your dog’s attention during his or her time alone.

• Food toys such as Buster Food Cube, Kong Toy.

The Buster Food Cube uses dry food and should be given to your dog just before you leave. On arriving home take the cube away from your dog until the next time your out and the dog is on its own.
Bones: A tip when purchasing bones, have your butcher cut the bone in to 4 pieces. eg;
Cut bone in half and then long ways to expose the marrow in the centre of the bone. This will occupy your dog for hours reducing boredom and assist in the prevention of nuisance barking.
Important: Never give a dog a cooked bone of any type as these will splinter and get caught in your dog’s throat or be ingested causing serious problems to your dog’s health.

• Exercise: If you have planned to be away from your dog for some time (day trip) take your dog to a park or walk and give them plenty of exercise, this will help by stimulating your dog both mentally and physically tiring them encouraging them to relax when they get home.

Positive reinforcement
Positive reinforcement increases the probability that a desirable behavior will be repeated. Your dog must be rewarded when he stops barking in order to encourage this no-bark response.
 Use food, toys, or any other object or activity your dog loves and which you introduce at the exact moment he stops barking. It is up to you to find out your dog's favourite rewards. Reinforcement consists of any reward the dog craves, anything he will be motivated to obtain (food, play, affection, attention, toys etc.) combined with your voice, giving a verbal praise like "GOOD DOG”. This "Good dog" tells him at precisely what moment he completed a correct response. Praise your dog by saying "Good dog" followed by a reward. He will anticipate the reward after praise and react happily. In order to intensify the motivated behavior you could reduce quantities of food at mealtime and use them for his training instead. After a couple of weeks, once the link is solidly established and the barking has diminished, it is recommended to replace these systematic reinforcements by sporadic rewards.
