Correct socialization can lessen fear-related barking. Introduce your dog to new people, animals, and places to boost confidence.
Training and Obedience: Basic obedience training helps you handle your dog. Tell your dog "quiet" or "enough,"
Reinforce peaceful, well-behaved dogs with positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement promotes good behavior.
Desensitize to Triggers: If your dog barks at certain triggers, such the doorbell, progressively expose them to the sound in a controlled environment
Create a Quiet Space: Give your dog a place to relax when they're upset. Possibly a box or quiet place.
