Stop Dogs from Barking to get Attention

Some dogs know exactly how their owners behave. Most dogs do not work for a living and since they have nothing else to do but sit and watch you, they may have you quite figured out. Your dog might know exactly what to do when he wants something and they usually do this by barking at you until they get what they want. When a dog barks for your attention it usually means that he is not clear about who is in charge in the house and may have not been taught the rules as to which his place is in the house. One thing that works well with these demanding fellows is to ignore them when they are barking, and start paying attention to them and rewarding them when they are being quiet. Walk away from the dog, or turn away from the dog to let him see that this barking is not acceptable. If the dog is used to getting his own way, this training might take awhile, but it is faster than yelling at him.
