>First step: discovering why your poodle barks a lot

The first thing we must do is to try to find the cause of the problem. Some dogs bark because they are trying to let you know what they need and it is the most comfortable and direct form of communication they have found.

It could be, for example, that he is hungry, thirsty or wants to go for a walk, or play with you. Remember that barking is his way to get your attention. 

This is not a problem as long as his barking is not excessive, and that he barks for too long, more than 1 or 2 minutes, because if he keeps barking it means that something is wrong or that he can't find a way to get to you.


>>Second step: give immediate attention

If your poodle knows that you are always there for him and that he doesn't need to bark so much, he will surely stop doing it so insistently, and little by little you can teach him new ways of communicating with you, quieter and calmer, such as, for example, coming closer and giving you his paw or waiting near the door or the food bowl, but only wagging his tail, without barking.


>>>>Third step: maintaining stable routines

It is very good for your poodle to have a stable daily routine, that will give him more security and confidence, since one of the causes that cause poodles and other breeds of dogs to bark a lot is anxiety, which is calmed with a daily routine of feeding, play and rest, with more or less fixed and stable schedules in the long term.


What to do if your poodle keeps barking ?

You can look for other causes, you should analyze if it could be due to his lack of physical activity, or maybe he suffers from problems of hyperactivitywhich is quite common in dogs.

Another cause may be that he does not know how to socialize well with other dogs, for example, it is quite common for him to bark too much only when he sees another dog, especially on walks, and it has to do with his territorial sentiment, because it barks because it feels the threat of another dog, and what it seeks is only to assert itself, defend their territory or their masters, or their belongings.

    I had an old golden retriever and we adopted the poodle, who immediately adopted him as "his big brother or father". The golden recently passed away, and apparently became insecure, as he barks a lot at other dogs and people passing by.
    We recently saw a golden and introduced him to her. She hugged him and started licking his face and ears, and as we were leaving he was crying a lot.

      Thank you very much for your comment. Your poodle needs to socialize more with other dogs, because they are very social dogs, they like to live in packs and must miss his golden brother very much.
      If you can not adopt another dog at home, you can take more to the park or even we recommend you to do some sport like Agility where you can better channel their anxiety and also be in contact with other dogs.
