What are the best ways to keep my dog from barking?

1.  Establish a consistent routine for feeding and exercise, so your dog knows when it's time to be quiet.
2.  Use positive reinforcement techniques such as treats or toys to reward good behavior.
3.  Try using calming music or white noise in addition to verbal commands to help your dog stay focused on you.
4.  Practice desensitization with your dog by gradually increasing the volume of sounds they hear around them.
