any suggestions on getting a hound to stop baying!!!
I have a three month old blue tick hound puppy that my wonderful boyfriend got me for christmas.He is the sweetest thing EXCEPT that he is the most vocal pup I have ever had he crys all nite long in his crate I try puting him out side for a while and he screams at the door,I try puting a bark colar on him and he crys and gets shocked and crys some more,,I tain animals for a living and am at a total lose here any one have any ideas?
Ohhhhh my dog did that a few times. She hasnt in awhile. The potty training thing is killing me shes GREAT all day at work. At home is another story I dont get it she knows to make potty outside she just forgets herself at home =( and magi she is really warm and cuddly I never even let my kids sleep with me lol.
his crate is next to the bed Im working on nautys advice we will see how that goes.. I would let him sleep in the bed but he pee-peed in there and thats no good although he fell asleep in bed last nite real early because we went on a really long run and he was tuckered out and slept all nite no problems I think he just needs some time and will figur it out we will see tonite
You can try moving her crate right next to your bed, so she feels like she is sleeping with her pack. She may feel she's being ousted right now. She's young and needs to feel accepted and part of her new pack.
LOL and of course, a warm puppy in bed is always nice!

Well why not just let the dog sleep with you? I have a puggle puppy and she sleeps with me everynight shes just the most cuddly thing ever =) Im a sucker though she only goes in her crate when nobody is home and thats not very often.
You have gotten some great advice here but u got one of the dogs that it is born into them to howl thats their nature so it is very hard to break them of that. u can buy muzzles for howling they work pretty good, the shock collar in time will work but it takes a long time and it does hurt them, spraying a pup sometimes works but most the time they think u r playing, please dont put anything in spray bottle but water, any hound dog has a different flap in their inner lid that other dogs dont have except chow's and it can get infected very easy. Try putting a blanket over the crate at night so that he cant see anything that calms them down if they cant see, and dont give up they r very smart dogs and will learn in time. good luck to you.
geeze naughty,where did all that come from?????????? great advice tho,I have been training and raising rotties for over 30 years and I couldn't have said it any better!

Where do you have the crate at night ? Is it far away from you ? I'm no expert, but try putting the crate in your bedroom. It could be he just wants to sleep with the pack (you).lol
You dont think that will burn his eyes if it get in there? I will give it a try we have a invisable fence so i dont worrie about him running away and you would think he would love being out side the only place he is 100 percent happy is in the car he could sit in the front seat of the car all only to come out to use the potty and eat.
I have tried the water bottle trick and he actually likes that he thinks it a way of playing
wow Nauty i had no idea you were such a Dog Whisperer, LMAO!
I cant add anything more to that I don't think. Im not a pro anyhow. Cripes I cant even get my own Shep mix "puppy" to stop dragging me around the damnn yard on the leash yet and he's about 10 mo old now! And I can't let him off the leash because then he gives me the middle finger and takes off and wont even LOOK at me when I call him back, let alone actually listen or obey. He's a totally different dog outdoors. In the house he is very obedient but once i open the door and we step foot outside he goes nutso and blocks me out totally. so if anyone has any advice FOR ME on this Id appreciate it, LOL
PS i love bluetick dogs! they are so unique and pretty dogs!! I once had a Catahoula Leopoard Dog (mixed breed) and she was the coolest looking dog. Im gonna go see if you have any pics of you pup in your profile now cuz I want to see your puppy =)

Take a small water bottle and put some water in it and everytime he does that give him one fine mist on his nose. It will do no harm but will annoy him to the point that howling is not worth it. Might take a few times, but he will catch on quickly.
Oh I could never hit him as frustrating as he can be hes still my baby and I do not beleive in puting you hand on any banimal it only makes them fear you not respect you. I have triied the water bottle also he actually likes that thought we where playing I will try rhe above method and see if any success..Where is the dog forum?
Good advice from Naughty.
There's also the Dog Forum you can post this question on and will get a lot of responses.

If all else fails a spray bottle (water) or go to the Dog whisper website........
Please never hit/swat or beat the dog as hard as it is to not want to do it.

Teaching the "Speak" command
I believe it is important to teach your dog a "Quiet" command. To do this, you must teach a "Speak" command first.
Find something your dog wants (treats, food, toy). Entice the dog with the object, increasing the dog's desire for it. Hold it above the dog's head and ask the dog to "Speak." In the beginning, an exasperated exhale, squeak, grumble or noise should be considered good behavior. Reward that exhale or other vocalization with treats, petting and praise. Repeat until the dog shows enthusiasm and barks. When the dog barks, give a big reward (treats or play session).
If there are occasions where your dog barks regularly, use these situations in your training by asking the dog to speak. For example, if your dog barks when the doorbell rings, say "Speak" and then ring the doorbell. When the dog barks, reward by giving praise and a treat. Repeat until you can phase out the doorbell or other stimuli. Behaviors like "Speak" are easier to train because it's something your dog already does naturally.
Teaching the "Quiet" command
1.
Put the dog on leash.
2.
Ask the dog to "Speak," and when he does, give a treat.
3.
Do this 4-6 times in a row.
4.
Then ask to the dog to be "Quiet." When your dog barks, quickly tug the leash and say "No!" "Quiet, good!" Very quickly give 3 treats in a row. The dog learns quiet has a high value reward.
5.
Repeat steps 2-4 until the dog doesn't need a leash correction. Do this 4-6 times in a row. Take a play break.
As the dog progresses, don't give any treats for "Speak", but give 1 treat for "Quiet".

OBEDIENCE REVIEW
Whenever possible, your dog will try to get away with as much as possible. If you start to slack off with obedience practice, your dog will soon forget all the commands you've taught him. It is better to practice five minutes a day than to randomly do it every few weeks. When your dog behaves perfectly on a consistent basis, then you can start to get a little lazy. But if you notice a bit of attitude or stubbornness, get right back into a routine of practicing obedience before things go too far and are harder to fix later. Here are a few tips on how to practice obedience with your dog.
*
Don't repeat commands more than twice.
*
Use his name first, then the command.
*
Take your time. Most dogs, especially young ones, are already in an excited state. Teach them to relax and slow down.
*
Do obedience with the dog on your left side, not in front or behind you. By having him in a consistent position, you can be more aware if he's creeping ahead or lagging behind. It's also easier to correct a dog that is at your side, rather than being slightly ahead or behind you.
*
Praise your dog when he is in the correct position, even if you had to physically had to help him into the position.
*
Use a low, firm tone of voice.
*
Pick a release command, such as "Okay!" to let him know when he is done with a command.
*
There should be a clear separation between giving a command and giving a correction. Give the command. Wait three seconds. Then correct him, if necessary. If your dog waits until you start to give a correction before doing the command, follow through with the correction anyway. Otherwise you will continually have to start to correct before the dog performs the command, rather than the dog automatically performing the behavior when he hears the command.
