You’re exhausted.  Your neighbors are annoyed all of the time.  You’ve got a constant headache.  You’re exhibiting all the symptoms of a frustrated pet owner and now you want to learn the way to train your dog to stop barking at night.  Just like cat’s meow and rooster’s crow, dogs communicate thru barking, and it’s unfair and unrealistic to expect your dog to never bark.  However, it is possible to educate your dog when it is appropriate and unbecoming to bark.  Controlling your dog’s bark needs to be an obedience command instead of an unpredictable reprimand for something done wrong.  

Whether you know it or not you are potentially in some measure responsible for your dog’s barking problem.  There are probably times where you tell your dog no, other times where you ignore him, and possibly other times where you have even encouraged him to bark.  This leaves your dog confused not being certain whether barking is good or bad.  

When your dog starts barking, dangle a treat in front of him after the first couple of woofs and tell him “stop barking”.  Most dogs will stop immediately when they see the treat.  

After one or two seconds of no barking, praise the dog and give him the treat.  Continuously work with your dog and increase the quiet time with each repetition before handing over the treat.  With a small amount of patience, you’ll be able to get to a couple minutes of quiet time and your dog will begin to understand what the command means.  Just remember that breaking an old habit can be tough, so you must work on this training habitually if your dog is in the practice of barking at trivial things.  

If you need to train your dog to stop barking at night, then it could be critical to bring him indoors while you’re employed on his training.  Sometimes placing a radio near your dog can help keep it from being alarmed and barking at every slight noise it hears.  Making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention during the day can help too.  A cheerful, relaxed dog is less certain to bark than a twitchy, concerned one.  Eliminating a bad barking habit will take time, but keep it going.  It will be worthwhile.
