134 | Beyond the Bark: Puppies, Prevention & Adult Dogs {Series Part 2}

Hey Dog Lover! 🐶
Welcome to Part Two of the Beyond the Bark Series! In this episode, we’re tackling the questions about puppies and adult dogs when it comes to barking.

As part of my contribution to a recent article on barking, I was asked:

• With puppies, what can we do to prevent barking at things like the doorbell, the garbage truck, or people passing by?

• What about adult dogs? Is it too late to train them out of barking?

Here’s what we’re unpacking today:

• Why the real key for puppies isn’t “stopping barking” but socialization and exposure

• Why it’s absolutely not too late for adult dogs — yes, they can learn new tricks!

• My go-to tip for helping your dog stop alert barking in real life situations

This episode will give you practical steps for both puppies and adults so you can respond with clarity and confidence.

xoxo,

Tracy 💛
