This is the puppy training podcast episode 140, a discussion on barking with our team of trainers.

This podcast is designed to help you on your journey of becoming best friends through love and learning as you train your own dog from home.

And I'm here to help you every step of the way.

This is the puppy training podcast and I'm your host, Amy Jensen. Hey everybody. Welcome to the podcast. I'm so glad you're

here. Today I have something fun for you. My team of trainers, we meet every month to discuss business

and clients and topics, training discussions.

And I recorded this month's discussion on barking.

So I'm going to let you listen in.

Here we go.

What questions have you come up lately about barking?

I'd say I've been getting a lot of attention barking or what we would call demand barking.

So that's when your dog is barking or what we would call demand barking. So that's when

your dog is barking at you for something that they want. Yeah. So that's important. What age does that

start happening? The attention barking, the demand barking. It is when they first come home and it works for

them. I mean, we know that it works. I'm going to do it again. So it only takes

one time of now responding with giving a treat or putting their food bowl down. And I think

you've created a little monster there already. Unintentional rewards too. So even making

eye contact with them or shushing them, things that are so

minute can definitely keep that progressing. I also get a lot of, you know, just families not being on

the same page. I had a call yesterday where, you know, wife was, I'm really good at ignoring and it works for

me and then my husband can't stand it.

And in five minutes, he's like, be quiet. And then the dog is continuing to bark at him.
