    Feb 20 2025

    Is your dog barking non-stop, and you find yourself yelling back—only to make things worse? You're not alone! Many people make the mistake of reacting instead of understanding why their dog is barking. In this episode, I’ll break down:

    ✅ Why dogs bark (it’s not just to annoy you!)
    ✅ Why yelling doesn’t work (it might actually make barking worse!)
    ✅ The different types of barking (alert barking, demand barking, anxiety barking, and more)
    ✅ The right way to stop barking using simple, effective training techniques!

    💡 Instead of yelling, learn how to understand your dog and fix barking behavior the right way. Trust me—your dog (and your ears!) will thank you!
