Is your dog’s barking causing problems at home or with your neighbours? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Excessive barking is a common issue for many dog owners, but we’re here to help.
In this short course, we will discuss the common reasons that dogs may bark, and how to identify the cause and motivation for your dogs’ barking. Knowing why your dog is barking is the first step to implementing a successful intervention. We will discuss targeted solutions for each type of barking, that give you practical tips and exercises to take home and implement straight away.
We will also discuss common ‘quick fix’ solutions and why they are not considered to be an effective or humane solution.
Join us for a comprehensive seminar with our qualified Animal Behaviour Consultant, Jade Currie. You’ll learn effective techniques for managing and reducing barking behaviours and will have Q&A time at the end of the seminar.
