Why do dogs bark for attention? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First off, let us reiterate that it\u2019s completely natural for dogs to bark. It\u2019s really just annoying for us because of our low patience and weirdly sensitive ears. Usually, dog owners often complain that their dogs bark at other dogs, strangers, noises, or just at random things.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When barking gets excessive, it can become problematic for many people; from you and your sanity to members of your households, or your neighbors\u2026who will in fact start barking back at you if you don’t get it to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to know more about general barking, take a look at our guide on how to stop a dog barking<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, so here we go. Behold as we share our secrets on how to stop a puppy barking<\/a> for attention and why they might be doing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s keep it honest; barking for attention is probably one of the most annoying forms of barking. It\u2019s often high-pitched, persistent and is perfectly designed to get on your nerves and provoke a reaction. Your dog may be barking for attention for any of the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Boredom – A bored dog will look for entertainment, which is often in the form of you.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Meeting their needs – They may bark to let you know they need the bathroom<\/a> or that they\u2019re hungry<\/a>\u2026internal dinner clock never fails!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Raising the alarm – This one might actually come in handy sometimes. They might bark to alert you of something<\/a> they see as a threat.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In the crate – Yep, your dog might bark to express their dissatisfaction with being put in their crate<\/a>. They will let you know they\u2019re unhappy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to stop a dog barking for attention <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019ve ruled out them needing the loo, it being dinner time or intruders bashing through your house, then it’s fair to say that your dog is barking for your attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s simply their way of expressing they\u2019re having fun and want to engage with you. In this case, then you want to make sure you\u2019re reaching out to enrichment<\/a>, trick training<\/a>, and puzzle toys<\/a> in your pup\u2019s daily life to prevent boredom from kicking in and attention-seeking barking from kicking off.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But if your pup is already in the habit of barking for attention, you must first know we\u2019re not judging. Happens to the best of us, Secondly, here\u2019s what you can to do stop it: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ignore the barking <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Yes, we know it\u2019ll be difficult, but giving your puppy any attention is a form of reward for dogs, so you telling them to \u2018shush’ isn\u2019t actually helping at all. In fact, it might create a fantastic game of who-can-shout-the-loudest which you definitely don\u2019t want to get into. When ignoring them, your dog may bark longer and harder in order to provoke a reaction, but it\u2019s important to stay calm and patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Always reward them and give them attention when they stop barking <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Attention-seeking barking often comes in bursts with pauses, so those moments of silence are your golden chance to reward<\/a> your dog for staying quiet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Extend pauses in barking by delaying treating them a second at a time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Eventually, your dog will learn that barking gets them nowhere, and quiet<\/a> gets the attention they are looking for, so this is a great way of making this lesson stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Reward what you want to see or hear <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Throughout the day, always reward<\/a> good quiet behavior so this becomes your dog’s default setting rather than turning to barking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Provide entertainment and enrichment <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Remember that barking is most often driven by boredom. Our dogs\u2019 daily lives can get quite mundane if we\u2019re not careful of providing them with the stimulation they need, so getting them plenty of mental<\/a> and physical exercise<\/a> daily will be one of your main ways to prevent problematic barking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Look for patterns <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Are there certain times of day when your dog barks for attention? Is it when you just sit down for the evening? If so, pre-empt it by having a Kong<\/a> or a puzzle toy<\/a> ready for them to engage with. You might also think of spending some time grooming your dog<\/a> in front of the TV, that\u2019s always an option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ve got plenty more ideas and tips about stopping your dog from barking and training a quiet cue in this article. <\/a>We\u2019re flooded with good ideas everywhere, see?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When do I see a vet about barking for attention? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In most cases, barking is just normal dog behavior<\/a>. However, as with any new behaviors that come out of the blue or get worse over time, it could indicate an underlying medical issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We don’t mean to be pessimistic, but it\u2019s always worthwhile consulting your Vet<\/a> as they will be able to tell you if there is anything that needs further treatment or action. For example, your dog barking for attention may also be related to anxiety (like in the case of separation anxiety<\/a>) in which case your vet<\/a> can help with management<\/a> or treatment of anxiety-related issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
