Normally excessive barking from your dog is a result of him being bored.
Your dog is accustomed to a lot of attention so he doesn't know how to behave when he is alone.
Barking for your attention is one reason, but this can also be a result of him not having enough food or water, or it could be because he spots another animal and has decided to start having a barking fit.
If your dog has enough food and water at his disposal and there is no other animal for him to bark at then he is most likely behaving this way just to get your attention.
To stop a barking dog you must not give them treats or pet them whenever they wish.
Some dog owners feel it's necessary to do these things every time their dog feels neglected.
However, when training your dog to stop barking you must teach him that behaving this way just to get your attention does not work.
If you give into your dogs barking every time then he will learn that this behavior brings him results.
Yelling at your dog won't work either because he will look at your yelling as a form of barking.
Thankfully, if you want to stop a barking dog then there are some effective training methods you can use.
Ignoring Method: Since responding to every bark is teaching your dog that creating a lot of noise gets him what he wants.
You should put your him in a crate, box, or separate room when he begins acting this way.
It may be a difficult thing to do, but ignore his barking and once he his silent reward him with a praise or treat.
Also, if you use commands such as "Quiet" or "Hush" and then reward him when he gets quiet it will teach him good behavior.
Water Method: Some dog trainers don't believe in this training method but it is an option that works.
If your dog is excessively barking then try gently throwing or squirting some water in his face.
This act will stop him since he won't like water in his face.
Your dog might still continue with this bad behavior, but after a few times of throwing water in his face he will get the message.
Your dog will begin to associate barking with a spray of water to the face.
