Video Transcript

"Often times with multiple dogs in a household you can have a increase of reactivity and that could also increase a barking activity. Barking is something that can be very annoying, it is a natural behavior in dogs, it is not a unnatural behavior but it could become a natural behavior if it is encase of a dog who is bored, unmotivated, unstimulated and left to just bark his head off all day long. You can actually have this behavior happening in a single dog household but it could certainly increase in a multiple dog household because if one dogs sounds off at something another dog might pick it up and so on down the long depending on how many dogs you are living with. Besides training so there is actually training you can do more difficult when you have multiple dogs because you are not necessarily know which dog is starting the barking but you can work with individual dogs and teaching them quiet commands. You can certainly keep your dogs well exercised and mentally and physically stimulated so they are not just looking for something to amuse there selves but in situations where you don't know which dog is causing the barking or there is one particular dog and you tried other methods of training then there is something called a bark collar a citronella bark collar which is a non punitive means of versa conditioning for the dog teaching them that barking causes a unpleasant reaction."
