Keeshond owners?

Do you have any problems with your Keeshond barking too much?

The Keeshond has for several hundred of years been bred to be an ALARM giving watch dog, so yes, they do bark. Most do not bark unless there is something to bark at, unless they are bored. They generally get bored when they are left outside, alone, for long periods of time.

They also were bred to remain in close contact with their people, so when left alone, outside, it would be normal for them to bark.

Solutions: Do not leave them for long periods of time, outside by themselves. Also, look into some sort of dog training in your community. The Keeshond excells in Agility and usually throughly enjoys doing Agility [helps to avoid becoming bored].

Hope this helps !

OMG, my neighbor has one & that is all he does. Barks at everything. Even a leaf blowing by! I was going to buy one of those anti-bark collars, but, I have not done that yet. He is getting on my nerves.........

Mine doesn't but he is only 8 months old and my first so I don't have much experience. He does bark when someone knocks on the door or comes to the back gate etc.
