Stop Dog Barking at Strangers

Your dog barking at strangers is actually trying to communicate something crucial.

They're either on high alert protecting you or feeling genuinely anxious about unfamiliar people.

The solution is counterintuitive. Instead of pulling them closer or forcing interaction,

create physical distance first. This gives your dog space to process without feeling

threatened. The moment they stop barking and show any sign of relaxation,

immediately reward that calm behavior with treats or praise. You're teaching them that quiet

confidence gets rewarded, not the reactive barking. Distance plus positive

reinforcement rewires their response pattern over time.“Follow us for daily dog training tips that
