I am a Dachshund. And being a Dachshund means that I do have one distinct trait (ok aside from being short) that makes me like all the other Dachshunds out there…..I like to bark. Not just an occasional alert bark to let you know someone is at the door, more like I could sit and bark out the window for a good solid hour at the same thing.
Does your dog like to do this too? Yeah, it’s pretty fun right?
Well apparently I’ve been informed that the humans don’t really like all that barking. (shocker right?) Sometimes when I’m barking the humans like to join in too by yelling at me to stop. But did you know that when you do this I just think you’re barking with me, which reinforces that I’m doing a good job and we should definitely be barking at something!
Recently my parents were introduced to a new product called Bark Solution that’s supposed to help the humans in telling us dogs that it’s not really appropriate to be barking.
Now I’d never enforce a product on my blog that was ever cruel or inhumane to animals, which lets face it, a lot of those “barking solutions” out there are just that (shock collars, sprays, etc), but Bark Solution is none of those things.
Bark Solution is simply a metal can filled with things that make a loud racket. So all you have to do when your dog is barking (and you don’t want them to be) is shake the can to interrupt their barking pattern.
Now us dogs, we’re designed to protect the humans (goodness knows they aren’t very good at protecting themselves), so the Bark Solution isn’t going to stop your dog from barking all together. But I did notice that when my parents shook it, it would distract me enough that eventually I sort of forgot what I was barking at all together.
*A helpful tip my parents found was that if they sort of snuck up on me with the Bark Solution it worked quicker in interrupting my barking pattern.
So if you’re looking for a way to humanely cut down on the amount of barking your dog does (without having to use harsh products or spending your day yelling at your dog), then you might want to check out Bark Solution.
My parents loved that it kept them from having to yell at me to stop barking all day, and lets face it, that doesn’t really work anyway.
You can also purchase this product on Amazon.
And P.S. isn’t the super fun retro packaging so cool too!
Now for the best part….
