MarcusB_33, do you think this approach works for older dogs too? I’m considering adopting an older rescue but worried about barking issues.

It’s brilliant that the article covers this. In my blog, I’ve discussed similar approaches and seen great results. Identifying triggers can be tricky but it’s a fundamental step towards a calmer, happier pet. Would love to see more on this topic!

Positive reinforcement is key, couldn’t agree more with the article. It’s all about consistency. Found that regular play time and walks made a huge difference. Kudos for highlighting that, really important for new owners to know.

This article on understanding what different barks mean is a lifesaver. I think my dog does a lot of ‘Boredom Barking’. Going to try out some of the tips mentioned. Thanks for sharing, Jodie!
