Barking Dogs at Night Recently I heard of a way to stop those dogs who are barking at night ... and it's not dangerous to the animal. (You just have to be dressed and ready to go out to do something about it. Usually the dogs are barking after the person being annoyed is already in bed.) I saw this on a Japanese TV program, with instructions by dog trainers who made house calls to help people know how to control their dogs better.

Fill a spray bottle with 1 part vinegar to 1 part water (for example, 1/4 cup vinegar and 1/4 cup water). When the dog starts barking, simply spray the vinegar water in the direction of the dog ... not in it's face. The smell will cause the dog to have to breathe in more deeply, and it only takes a couple of times to train the dog to stop barking. This works best if the owner of the dog uses this method, as the dog would normally bark more at strangers.

House dogs that barked every time the doorbell rang were trained to stop barking in less than 5 minutes - and it worked there after, too. They would ring the bell - the dog would bark, the owner would spray once in the air above the dog's head, and the dog immediately stopped barking ... without the owner having to say a word! They waited a few minutes, and repeated the process. The third time they rang the bell (a few minutes after the second time), the dog did not bark.

My friend found a way to stop a dog from barking in the middle of the night. She got up, got dressed, and walked the neighborhood until she found the barking dog. Every time the dog barked she rang the doorbell. She said if she had to be up, so should the owners! After a few times of ringing the doorbell she heard the backdoor shut and no more barking dog. She said they never came to the front door to answer the doorbell. Gotta laugh but it worked!

See kellahelina oma on päris naljakas viis ja ma kaldun arvama, et töötab ka
