If the puppy keeps barking in the cage, the owner can take three measures: reward training, exercise, and using toys to divert attention. First of all, whenever the puppy barks, you can gently pinch its mouth and reprimand it loudly. When you let go and the puppy stops barking, you can give a certain reward. Secondly, you can let the dog exercise more to consume energy and physical strength, so that it will not bark all the time. Finally, you can put some toys in the cage to distract the puppy so that it will not keep barking in the cage.

1. Reward training

When you first put the puppy in the cage, because it is still relatively unfamiliar with this living environment, it will keep barking in the cage. At this time, the owner needs to reward the puppy. When the puppy barks, he can gently pinch its mouth and scold it loudly to let it know that the owner does not like it, and then slowly let go. When you let go and the puppy starts to stop barking, you need to reward it with snacks and petting in time. Follow the above steps step by step, and the puppy will gradually get used to it, and then it will stop barking when you put it in a cage.

2. Exercise

Puppies barking all the time in cages may also be because they are energetic. Therefore, owners can usually let their puppies exercise more to consume their energy. . Wait until the puppy is tired before putting it in the cage, so that the puppy will not have the energy to bark any more.

3. Use toys to divert attention

Puppies will keep barking in the cage because they are scared or bored, so the owner can also put some toys that the dog likes in the cage. Such as balls, teething sticks, etc. to attract the puppy's attention so that it will not keep barking in the cage. At the same time, you can also prepare some snacks, drinking water and dog food for the puppy in the cage to meet the puppy's needs and prevent the puppy from barking because of hunger.

Note: These trainings require a certain amount of time and patience, so the owner must be patient and must not beat or scold the puppy severely. At the same time, it is also recommended that owners should not keep their puppies in a cage for a long time to avoid affecting the healthy growth of their puppies due to lack of exercise.
