What should I do with a dog that barks due to fear?

Fear Barking

If your dog is barking frequently due to fears or phobias, you need to work on boosting her confidence in the situations that cause the barking. For instance, if she is fearful of other canines, she may be barking to assert herself. Help socialize her by allowing her to interact with other dogs on a regular basis. Always introduce your pooch to a new situation slowly. As she becomes more comfortable and confident, her barking should subside.
