Demand barking is a type of barking that dogs do to get something they want, like a treat, toy, or attention. It happens because we've previously (accidentally) rewarded them for it. So what should you do if your dog is demand barking?

In this episode, we talk about:

  • How dogs bark for different reasons, including watchdog barking and barking due to fear
  • What demand barking is
  • Why the phrase "demand barking" is actually a bit of a misnomer
  • We give examples of demand barking, including when Zazie's dog Pepper does this
  • We share ideas and tips for what to do about it
  • Kristi talks about why she set up a course on this and what's included
  • And finally we talk about the books we're reading.

The books we recommend in this episode are:

  • Spoiler Alert: You're Gonna Die by Korttany Finn and Jacquie Purcell
  • Junie: A Novel by Chelene Knight
