The best way to keep your dog from barking is to give them plenty of exercise, playtime and mental stimulation. Make sure they have a safe environment where they can feel secure, such as a fenced yard or an enclosed area. Reward positive behavior with treats, praise and toys. If necessary, use calming products like citronella candles or ultrasonic devices to help reduce excessive barking.
