Bark development? - Page 2

but why not give a pup i repeat PUP animation.

because I don't believe that brings out the best bark...but, some do and others just do what others do:-)

@judron55 negative sir ... A dog is what you make through training. If a dog was what it is from the get then no training would be required. I think that you have your own style of training and so do I as for training with top schutzhund people so have i and seminars fom top KNPV trainers as well. From what i hav understood is that this comes later in training not in the early stages of development. Im not going to get into a pissing match but i think the original poster would appreciate my method better than others.

First, we don't know the dog in question? Don't know if it's a puppy? Young adult? Or adult?

palmetto...negative sir...the dog has to have the right genetics before any training is involved...now listen...please don't come on here spouting about those famous trainers you've been around. I ain't impressed...sheesh, why can't people discuss something without taking it personal...there are a multitude of ways to do most things....more than one person can be right..especially when it comes to dog training....peace!

Ok, the bitch in question is 2 years old, a working police dog with some very nice Chzech dogs in her pedigree some being Chzech border patrol dogs ( her kennel name being Ella of Milipoli if anyone were interested ).......

FrankSinatra..... OP is MyCheckShepherd so I'm not sure if you're the same or if you know OP and commented on his/her dog? But to OP? Are you asking for "barking" as the dog doesn't bark at all? Has never barked? All of his two years? Or are you asking to like intensify the bark? Or even bark on command?

If the dog doesn't even bark at all or has never barked there might be problems medically? But if he/she does bark but you want more? Or to intensify? What does she/he bark for now? And just intensify/osculate that? Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question...........

My male I "intensified" his bark then at times got him to bark on command. (With a wink or click of my teeth) but I would build up or intensify by placing a tennis ball in the crook of my neck or hold it behind my head. He wanted it, wanted it bad. He would then have to bark harder/louder before he got it. Then it progressed to the non verbal cues.

And you stated it was a PSD? Working Patrol? Not sure if I can remember let alone seen a patrol dog that didn't/couldn't bark??? 

No, sorry,let me clarify, she barks on finding the subject but the bark sometimes becomes a clacking of the teeth with no sound then reverts back to barking.....I want to intensify the bark to a constant intense machine gun bark if there's a way.....the usual methods of frustrating the dog haven't made a lot of difference. ( so, lol no, she' s not the worlds first non barking Police dog.....)

Just to clarify, this bitch came from our kennel ! as for her bark ! she was never a dog that sparked up  ! she is more bite than bark,can be head strong,and totally for her handler,good luck with her and her career.

I would say you are putting too much frustration on this dog and she goes too deep in defence mode that stops her from barking . Years ago I was in Germany and visiting a club, they had some of the dogs tied to the fence  and let them bark their heart out . they told me that this will build habbit and develop larger lungs needed for strong and contiues barking .

judron has the right idea in my opinion.

Thats how we start all our puppies too,
"peekaboo" games from a distance. No
full on fight etc, just a simple "chase away the
bad guy" game from a distance.

If that simple little exercise tramatizes your
puppy, well, you have much bigger problems
than you are aware of.

By the way, to the other poster, it's very
common for puppies/dogs to be staked out all day
at the KNPV clubs, they have stake out poles all
along the side of the training field. No handler is
close by, the puppy/dog is out there by itself, with
really nothing to do but watch and bark
