Why Fall Means More Barking (And How to Fix It)
Critters, crunchy leaves, and cozy nights—minus the noise.
When the weather cools down and the leaves start to turn, life feels a little cozier. But for dog owners, fall can also mean a big uptick in barking. Squirrels are busy stocking up for winter, raccoons start raiding trash cans, and deer wander closer to homes looking for food. All that activity is exciting for your dog, but sometimes a little too exciting.
If you’ve noticed your pup barking at every rustle in the yard or critter on the fence, you’re not alone. The fall season brings more wildlife, which often means more noise and more stress for you and your neighbors.
Why Is It So Noisy Out There?
- 🐿 Squirrels & Chipmunks: Darting around nonstop to stock up, triggering prey drive.
- 🦝 Raccoons & Skunks: Scavenging for food more aggressively, especially at night.
- 🦌 Deer: Wandering closer to backyards as food sources dwindle.
- 🐭 Rodents: Seeking warm shelter in attics, garages, and sheds.
Humane Ways to Cut the Noise
Instead of yelling or using harsh methods, try tools that work with your dog’s instincts. Humane bark control uses ultrasonic sound to gently train dogs to quiet down—no shocks, no pain, no stress.
