Why does your Norwegian Lundehund bark?
Barking may be desirable if you value a good watchdog but if you are
interested in stopping or preventing your Norwegian Lundehund from barking
the following strategies will help.
- Use regular walks to pacify your Norwegian Lundehund
- Use a spray bottle to zap the dog for barking
- Distract your Norwegian Lundehund with a chew toy filled with food
- Fill a soda can with small pebbles and shake it as a deterrent
to barking
- Keep your Norwegian Lundehund inside with you more often as dogs often
bark when board
- Use background or "white noise" to block
out sounds that cause the dog to bark such as other dogs
barking in the distance
- Use a collar that sprays citronella to discourage
barking
- Some Norwegian Lundehund dogs may bark as a territorial defense
- If what you are trying does not work change
strategies
Your veterinarian will be able to help if these strategies have not worked.
A Veterinarian can combine behavior modification with sedation or surgery
to control an Norwegian Lundehund that is barking and does not respond well
to these techniques.
