If we find a way of rewarding what we want them to do and showing them what we want them to do,

rather than punishing the thing we don't want them to do, we're more likely to be successful.

Welcome to the Absolute Dog Sex and a Squirrel podcast. I'm Lauren Langman. I'm one of the world's leading dog trainers and it's my mission to help owners become their dog's top priority.

In each episode, you'll discover how to gain trust and communicate with your dog like never before,

creating unbreakable bonds that make you the

most exciting part of their world. So I'm joined by the lovely Linda. Linda, you were just talking

about a client that you had recently who had a dog that is barking at windows and actively, in fact,

I said it was, this dog was barking at windows and actively annoying the household.

Yes.

Making the household difficult.

Making the household stressful.

Making the household chaos, noise, energy changes, frustrating.

Like, it's not nice for anyone.

No one enjoys that.

No.

It's not nice for the dogs, actually, either.

But people get very, very frustrated by it.

And you see it quite a lot, don't you? It's very common. You know, you walk about place and dogs will be barking at the window.

So, yes, and it's something that crops up quite regularly with clients that the dog barks at the windows and they don't know how to stop it.

And the way that they mostly try to stop it is by telling the dog off.

So interrupting it with some sort of punishing voice and telling it to come away.

And then the dog goes back and does it again.
