Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 7
Does the family dog's barking disturb you and your family's peace? In this 4-week self-paced course, we will explore ways to control and prevent dogs from excessive barking. We will also address why dogs bark and the different barking behaviors. Teacher will present ways to extinguish or reduce excessive barking in dogs and puppies through lecture, slides and discussion.  Teacher and leaners will discuss, and trouble shoot ways to prevent such barking. Topics include how to stop your dog from barking at the door, people, other dogs and strange things or noises.  Learners only need to have barking dogs, but not really a requirement! They are free to learn about barking behaviors.

Learning Goals

Learners will identify why dogs bark and how to reduce or minimize dog barking in their homes and neighborhood.
