Sometimes, your dog may start barking non-stop at night.
Especially when the full moon arrives, they may scream louder.
This problem is often called "full moon call".
Although this makes you and your neighbors unhappy, you can take steps to help your dog keep it quiet at night.
First, you need to understand why this happens to dogs.
At the full moon, the dog's senses become sharper.
They may sensitively sense the sounds and smells around them, and may even feel the changes in the moonlight.
For these reasons, your dog will be overly excited because of sensing too much stimulation and then starts to keep calling.
To prevent this from happening, you can consider the following methods:
1. Provide enough exercise and activity Dogs have enough exercise and energy to reduce their twitching sounds by reducing their clamor.
This also helps improve their sleep quality.
Bring enough toys to the dog, arrange some fun activities, and go out for a walk together are all good choices.
2. Increase their sense of security Dogs may keep barking because of fear.
At night, especially during the full moon, being too deserted and quiet next to it will make the dog more scared and more likely to bark loudly.
In order to make them feel safe, you can increase your company appropriately.
For example, putting some toys next to their bed, or spending time by the bed, can bring a sense of security and comfort to the dog.
3. Regular days and consistent life. Regular work and rest time and living habits can not only give dogs a stronger sense of security, but also provide them with clearer signals and gradually convey to them when they should be quiet.
Whether it is a place to sleep, meal time, play time or walking time, you must give the dog enough time to adapt to regular living habits.
4. Cultivate their patience. Training dogs to be patient and so on is also very necessary.
When your dog yells at the full moon, it needs some guidance to tell when it can calm down and relax.
In training, positive motivation and negative punishment are generally used.
Try to avoid using punitive methods, but should adopt encouragement and learning methods.
Use rewards to strengthen your dog's patience and other good behaviors to help your dog build habits. Over time, your dog will become quieter, happier and healthier.
Generally speaking, the scream of a full moon is a very bad situation for dog owners and needs special treatment.
Provide your dog with proper sense of security and relaxation through proper training can help them stay quiet at night, allowing both you and your dog to have plenty of rest and even make them healthier.
