What is the best way to stop my dogs barking at night and early morning2007-11-25 2:52:34

They fight with each other quiet a bit too. They get treated the same feed the same, but feed separately otherwise one dog doesn't get any.

Answers:

It sounds like there might be a dominance problem. Are they both the same sex and not spayed? Is there other dogs around your house that bark too? My dogs bark a lot when the others get going outside and if they bark inside they get popped on the nose and told no. They also make collars for dogs to stop barking, some shock and others spray out a scent that dogs don't like to teach them not to do it.

This sounds like territorial barking. If they aren't spayed/neutered it might be best to do that.

One very effective method of training dogs to stop barking is to make a distraction. The exact moment they bark, try shaking a tin can filled with small, solid objects like beans or marbles. Then, after they stop, praise them/give them treats/pet them/play with them.

Muzzle them as you please. That keep them shut.

It depends on the breed. If they are a breed like cairn terriers there isn't too much you can do as it is instinctual and very difficult to break.
