She whines and barks when I put her in her cage. I’ve heard of those barking things. Do they work. Should I get one? She also pees in her kennel when I go to get her out. Is it because shes so excited. Please help!!!
Well, there are things you can do that may help with the barking and whining, but since she is a puppy she may continue to do it for a while. First of all, do not get those training collars, they are not appropriate for a puppy. Exercise her and wear her out before you put her in the kennel so that she is ready for a nap. If she is very young, a warm water bottle wrapped in a towel may comfort her (mimics feeling of sleeping with warm littermates). A ticking clock wrapped in a towel may also help (mimics sound of mom’s heartbeat). Always offer her a treat or fun toy when you put her in the kennel to associate it with good things, and place it somewhere that she can see what you are doing if you will be home when she is in the kennel. If you will not be home, soft music in the background can be calming. As for peeing when she sees you, she is probably very excited. This may improve as she gets better control of her muscles. Try to speak in a low, calm voice when you approach her to keep her calm. Good luck!

Retail Price: 79.99

With five dogs, it’s almost impossible to keep them from barking at EVERYTHING! It only takes one of them to start and then all the others join in. I ordered the Outdoor Bark Control Birdhouse based on the customer reviews. I was a little skeptical if this would really work. Well, not only does it work outside, but the dogs actually bark less inside as well. I think they are learning that they don’t need to bark all of the time. They still bark if someone comes to the door, but it sure is nice to have them stop barking at cars going down the road!! Order your Outdoor Bark Control Birdhouse today!

Barking is a natural method of communication for puppies and dogs.
They bark for all kinds of reasons and you need to understand the reason for the barking before you can correct it.
Also, your puppy must know that you are in control before you can start to correct their behavior.
Excessive barking can put a lot of stress on you, your family, and even your neighbors.
I have found an article with some excellent puppy tips on how to stop your puppy from barking. Read the full article here.
