Never Yell Or Use Your Dog’s Name as Punishment. Do not scream at your dog as this flies in the face of what you feel like doing. Yelling at your dog does not work because it will just get him more stressed or it will only increase his energy level and how excited he is about the situation.

Excessive barking over a prolonged period of time can result in damage to the dog’s vocal cords, resulting in laryngitis where the larynx inflames and becomes sore, plus a hoarse bark. So, there you have it; dogs can damage their vocal cords by barking excessively.

Don’t punish your dog if the barking is due to fright or separation anxiety. You may have the opposite effect of increasing his anxiety, and therefore, his barking. A Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist or Veterinary Behaviorist can give you specific directions for correcting this behavior.

Dogs don’t handle boredom well. If the dog is alone all day in the house or left alone in the yard for long periods of time, he may develop unwelcome compulsive habits, such as barking. If the dog sees or hears lots of activity outside, he may become excited enough to bark.

Barking for a short period of time (up to 5 minutes per hour no more than 4 times a day) between 9am and 9pm should be acceptable for any neighborhood or neighbor. What if they bark more often? If a dog is barking more often there may be a problem. A dog will bark out of boredom or for attention.
