Why do Dogs Bark so Much?      Dogs bark excessively for numerous reasons such as loneliness,      frustration, frequent neighborhood activity, hyperactivity, etc.      The following suggestions may be helpful in controlling excessive       barking: Give the dog attention and exercise daily. If the dog barks because of frequent neighborhood activity, try to remove the dog from the activity by possibly keeping the dog in the house or garage, or other location isolated from the source of disturbance. Dogs frequently bark while left outside alone on the property. If you must leave the dog unattended, keep the dog inside the garage or house whenever possible. Consult your veterinarian on the possible causes for the barking. Explore training services listed in the Yellow Pages under "Dog Training."   Try using Citronella Spray as a way to train your dog not to bark. Many vets recommend this type of product because it is not harmful to the dog. Because all dogs hate citrus, the use of this spray, which is harmless and non-toxic, will help train the dog not to bark.
