There is nothing worse than a dog that continually barks especially for no reason. If you have a dog that barks it is not only annoying to you but also your neighbors.

First of all, dogs need to bark. It is there way of communicating. They will bark if an intruder comes into their home, if they are in pain, as a greeting and when they are happy.

Sometimes however dogs will bark continuously. When this happens it is usually because the dog is not happy but it can be fixed. You can actually stop your dog from barking.

Dogs that bark for hours on end don't do it because they are happy. It usually means there is a problem and it could be any one of the following:

• boredom
• stress
• loneliness
• lack of attention
• lack of exercise

Remember that dogs are pack animals and when they are without their pack (namely you and anyone else living in your home) they get lonely, stressed and bored.

The same happens at night If you leave your dog outside or locked in a laundry or room. Again they are without their pack and many will bark or whine out of stress and/or lonelines..

There are a few ways to stop your dog from barking:

• exercise more regularly
• keep your dog in at night close to the family
• get another dog to keep him company (althought there is a risk that the new dog may bark just as much)
• provide toys to use while you are out

Dog training experts often have specific techniques they use to train their dogs that are not often revealed to the general public.
