Now having a labrador could be one of The best experiences in life but if they Non-stop bark it can turn the joy of Your life into a chore of your life so In today’s video i want to teach you Exactly how you can stop your labrador From barking to help them become the Dream canine companion that you’ve Always wanted so when it comes to Stopping your labrador from barking it Can be a Infuriating behavior it can be a really Frustrating Behaviour to get on top of but it Absolutely doesn’t need to be you just Need to follow my basic three steps and You absolutely can get there now i am a Balanced training advocate so i do think It’s incredibly important that not only Do we teach our dogs what it is that we Do want from them but that it’s also Important that we teach them what it is That we don’t want from them because Without that ability of communicating Yes do this no don’t do that dogs become Confused and they start making decisions For themselves which often looks like Things like your labrador excessively Barking your labrador excessively Pulling your labrador becoming reactive Or even aggressive you have to have the Ability to teach them what we do want And what we don’t want and to do that For barking we follow three simple steps
The first step is correcting the Undesirable behavior so when they’re Barking when they shouldn’t be we need To have the ability to say hey Stop doing that there’s a variety of Different ways to do that and frankly Every single labrador is different at The severity that they need in order to Understand that message some dogs with a Really firm verbal correction of a shush Or a would be enough to snap them out of It and get them to stop the barking and Understand that it was the barking that Was unacceptable some dogs might need Pet corrector spray some dogs may Require corrections from something like A slip lead but either way we have to Find their way to firmly assertively Swiftly but from a place of love and Care because we want our dogs to be Well-behaved well-balanced well-rounded Canine companions to correct the Undesirable behavior of barking but what Is really good is that if you follow my Next two steps the amount that you need To correct the behavior can be minimum And then we can move to a place where we Are rewarding and reinforcing the dog The vast majority of the time instead of Constantly having to challenge and Correct behaviors good that’s it Yes Good Good dogs so the next step guys after
We’ve corrected the undesirable behavior Because we love our dogs because we’re Fair to our dogs because we want our Dogs to succeed is that we need to Redirect our dogs to the desirable Behavior instead we need to help them Understand no don’t do that but i want You to do this instead and when it comes To barking i have two main ways to do That a lovely sit and stay command or a Place command depending on the situation That we’re in that’s causing the barking If you’re out and about on a walk or you Just stood out in public and your dog Decides to bark and you deem it to be Unacceptable you have to correct them And let them know that’s unacceptable But while we’re here i just need you to Sit Stay and stay with good manners quietly And patiently that’s what we’re going to Redirect them to maybe you’re in the House and the barkins every time Somebody goes past well in that Situation we’re going to correct the Barking but then redirect them to the Place command and we will have been Working on this sit-and-stay drill Separately in a very fun food-based Positive way we would have been working On the place command in a very fun Food-based positive way But we’ve corrected the undesirable Behavior and now redirecting to the
Desirable one which then takes us on to Step three which is the good part is the Fun part it’s the part that we all want And that is to reward The desirable behavior so when we have Redirected the dogs to the desirable Behavior we say yes and we praise and we Reward that with food toys treats Whatever it is that our labradors love We communicate to them this thing that You’re doing now that’s what i want to See this is great that thing you did a Minute ago that’s not acceptable i can’t Allow it it’s no different from Raising your children as parents Properly it’s no different from being a Good fair boss in a new work environment We have to let the people who we’re Responsible for or our labradors that We’re responsible for understand what it Is that we do want from them and what it Is that we don’t want from them and if We do that effectively the undesirable Behavior in this situation barking will Come down and down and down and down and Down because we’re punishing and Correcting that behavior however the Desirable behavior of sit stay with nice Manners Place commands stay quietly patiently With good manners happens more and more And more and more and more so bad Behavior 100 Good behavior 0
Through repeating this process We swap over So the need to correct our dog becomes Minimal or non-existent and the re the The desire the requirement to reward Reinforce and praise our dog becomes Higher and higher and higher and that’s Why my system has become so successful And effective that’s why so many people Have been able to have huge amounts of Success so make sure you treat your Labrador With rules boundaries expectations from A place of love kindness and empathy Because we want them to succeed we want Them to have a happy healthy life and we Want our lives to be happier because They’re in it and to do so they have to Be well balanced well-rounded Well-behaved just like children if You’re a parent just like your employees If you’re an employer it’s an incredibly Important part of the process and we Lead our dogs because we love our dogs Guys i hope you enjoyed that video if You want to learn more about one of my Favorite breeds in the world the Labrador retriever make sure you Subscribe to this channel because it’s Exactly what it’s designed to do and i Can’t wait to see you on the next Episode
