The best way to get your dog to stop barking is to give them plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Provide them with interactive toys, games, and activities that they can focus on instead of barking. You can also try redirecting their attention when they start barking by offering treats or praise. Additionally, you may need to consider using a citronella collar or other sound-based deterrents in order to help break the cycle of barking.
