Is your dog barking at the window when neighbors, dogs, and triggers go by?
Kaylee from Team Marnie shares her experiences and challenges in managing her one-and-a-half-year-old German Shepherd and Golden Retriever mix, Marnie, who exhibits window barking behavior.
"The dog will tell us what it needs if we allow it to acknowledge and process feelings. Decoding these needs becomes crucial… for understanding the dog's [window barking]."
We talk about the distinction between ACTUAL dog training techniques - not just trigger avoidance recommendations - and the limitations of using interrupters as a long-term dog barking solution.
Jenna emphasizes how to fully decode Marnie's triggering event and suggests a more effective dog training approach to counter-conditioning and desensitization.
As always, the discussion goes beyond typical dog training methods, and pinpoints reconditioning the dog's central nervous system and addressing the emotional associations before prioritizing behavioral responses.
This episode provides strategies for dog owners facing dog window barking and how they can train their dog to not be so reactive to triggers outside.
So, if you're navigating the challenges of window barking, we encourage you to explore the full depth of counter-conditioning and dog behavior change strategies.
