There are different correct ways to educate a restless dog, among the most used procedures is that of extinction, punishment and reassociation. We will talk to you in detail about each of them.
Extinction procedure: It is a procedure by which the behaviors already learned will be eliminated, as long as it is possible to know which factor determined it, and which one maintained it or caused a change in its behavior. For example, in the case that he keeps barking to enter the house, and we allow him to do so, what we are actually doing is reinforcing the incorrect behavior and he feels that he easily obtained what he was looking for.
These are the cases in which the behavior must be eliminated slowly, returning to the previous case, we must not let it enter and thus the behavior will gradually disappear. He will only enter when he is no longer barking and is calmer.
Punishment could solve the barking problemBe it inherited, learned behavior. Keep in mind that the term punishment should not be associated with yelling or hitting him, this would cause more anxiety to be generated than he already has. The punishment would have to be impersonal.
One of the accessories that help us are necklaces that work remotely. There are two types of necklaces, those of low intensity (that only dogs can hear) and those that cause a small electric shock (that if we are not experts we advise you never to use them).
