How to make a dog stop barking?

 1. Exercise Quietness Method

Dogs are most likely to howl in the sky when they are bored. This is the same as when you sit downstairs with girls and sing songs before graduating from college. In one sentence, they are full. So exercise is a good way. Exercise can consume your dog's energy and make him mentally satisfied. What a tired dog likes most is a good nap.

Note: If you are not a retired member of the Ma Jiajun, please do not try this trick against spotted dogs and golden retrievers, otherwise you will die miserably. Remember, good is good!

 2. Turn a blind eye to the law

I don’t know if you like speaking to a wall, but experiments tell us that some dogs will shut up and become quiet after the audience leaves. Therefore, when your dog keeps barking in front of you because he is acting coquettishly, you can turn around and leave. The dog will feel that he is asking for trouble.

Note: For dogs who are super chatty and aspire to be lawyers, the success rate of this trick is zero.

 3. Sugar coating method

Sugar-coated bullets are very effective to a certain extent. A foreign animal behaviorist conducted such an experiment. When a dog barks, he shakes it.Ring the bell, and after the dog shuts up, take the snack and praise the dog at the same time. Over time, the dog will naturally calm down when it hears the bell again.

Note: A dog with musical talent who likes to sing model operas accompanied by ringtones lacks such free accompaniment.
