Take Your Dog Out For Long Walks
If you find that your dog is barking at other dogs while on your daily walk, it might be because they are becoming energized or frustrated. If this is the case, try taking your dog for a long walk each day. A longer walk will help tire them out and prevent them from becoming too worked up. You can also try taking your dog for a jog and playing with them during the walk. If you take your dog out for a long walk each day, they won’t have as much energy left to bark at other dogs while on your daily walks.
Give Them A Treat To Calm Them Down
If you’re worried about your dog getting too excited, you can always practice training them to calm down using treats. Get a bunch of small pieces of cheese or something else your dog loves and show it to your dog before seeing another dog. Tell them “quiet,” and when they listen, tell them “good boy/girl” and give them some of the treats. This way, they will learn that when you see another dog, it’s time to be quiet and get rewarded.
Distract Your Dog
Another excellent way to keep your dog from barking at other dogs is by distracting them with something else. For example, you can get their attention by asking them to do tricks or letting them sniff around other areas. When your dog is enjoying something else, they won’t have time to bark at other dogs!
