20: How to Stop Excessive Barking & Understand What Your Dog is Telling You – with Linda Michaels

The Doodle Pro® Podcast: Positive Training Tips for a Calm & Well-Behaved Doodle

🐾 Is your dog’s barking driving you crazy? Want some peace and quiet?

In this episode, I’m joined by renowned trainer Linda Michaels, author of Do No Harm Dog Training & Behavior Manual and creator of The Hierarchy of Dog Needs®, to help you understand why your dog is barking and how to stop it—without punishment or outdated techniques.

💡 This episode answers questions like:
✔️ How do I understand why my dog is barking?
✔️ Why does my dog bark for no reason?
✔️ How much barking is normal for a dog?
✔️ Will a dog eventually stop barking on its own?
✔️ Should dogs be allowed to bark all the time?
✔️ Do bark collars (citronella, vibrating, or shock) work?
✔️ Are squirt bottles or coins in a can effective for stopping barking?

🐾 In this final part (Pt. 3) of my interview with Linda Michaels, we apply advanced psychology and neuroscience to help you bring calm and quiet back into your home.
