Dog Barking Solutions — Teach Quiet, Build Calm

Tackle problem barking with proven tools and routines. This collection focuses on the most common causes—boredom, alert/territorial barking, separation distress, and excitement—bringing together calming treats & supplements, enrichment toys, lick mats, training aids, and comfort gear to help your dog relax and learn a reliable “quiet”.

What you’ll find

• Calming chews & supplements: Targeted blends (e.g., L-theanine, tryptophan, magnesium, chamomile) to support relaxation before known triggers.
• Lick mats & puzzle feeders: Low-arousal focus tools that turn downtime into calm, sustained engagement.
• Treat-dispensing & foraging toys: Channel energy and reduce demand barking with rewarding solo play.
• Training helpers: Clickers, high-value training bites, and treat pouches for fast, consistent reinforcement.
• Comfort gear: Snug fitwear, crates/covers and dens to create predictable, safe resting spaces.
• Pheromone aids: Sprays, collars and diffusers that provide a reassuring “calm” signal.

Match tools to the cause

• Boredom/extra energy: Daily snuffle work, food puzzles and a long-lasting chew after exercise.
• Alert/territorial: Pre-load with a calming chew; use lick mats during deliveries/visitors; train “go to mat”.
• Separation distress: Short alone-time reps with pre-frozen lick mats; build duration slowly.
• Excitement/demand: Reinforce quiet moments; reward calm sits before attention, walks or meals.

Quick training routine

• Prime: Offer a calming chew 30–60 minutes before triggers.
• Train: Mark and reward 1–2 seconds of silence; build to longer quiet on cue.
• Manage: Use barriers/den spaces and enrichment to prevent rehearsing barking.
