Dogs use their voices in a variety of ways to communicate.

As a Shih Tzu puppies, they make grunting noises to communicate with littermates and mother. High-pitched crying signals that they are frustrated, afraid, or hurting. Soft whining or whimpering is their way of saying they are hungry or cold. A single yelp or bark is normal if they get stepped on, stung by a bee, or startled.

As your Shih Tzu gets older, he will use other forms of vocal communication: Whining is useful in getting an owner’s attention. It is also used to show submissiveness to other dogs. Whimpering is not often used by adult dogs unless they are abused, cold, hurt, or very frustrated or afraid; Howling or baying is used by some breeds to communicate over long distances. Dogs that are used in hunting often bay to signal each other that they are following the scent of the prey. When not hunting, these same dogs will respond to sirens or certain music by howling or baying.

And many many other reason triggers your Shih Tzu’s barking.

Some barking is tolerable as it is expected of not only your Shih Tzu but any dog. However, excessive barking causes problems. Continual barking or barking for periods of time throughout the day and night disturbs both the owner and his neighbors. After a while it becomes stressful as well as annoying.

Excessive barking is most often caused by nervousness, separation anxiety, fear or distress. As the your puppy becomes more upset, lonely or anxious, his barking becomes more insistent and louder.

In this video, we are going to cover the reason your Shih Tzu keeping barking when he is home alone and how to change the circumstance.

Putting your Shih Tzu outside alone, putting him in his kennel/cage, or leaving him home alone may make him feel he is being abandoned. He is afraid you will never return. This triggers his barking.

If your dog is left alone for long periods of time, he is likely to resort to barking whenever (and for however long) he is left alone. This becomes such a habit that he will begin barking the minute you walk away and not stop until he hears your footsteps returning.

If nobody is home during the day, your dog will be anxious to get attention. He will bark any time he thinks anyone is closeby and he will become quite insistent and loud. Barking in these situations becomes a hobby.

Then how to stop your puppy barking when you leave home.

✔ Giving your dog activities that occupy his mind and body will help him use his energy and his problem solving skills. This will create a dog who is content to lie quietly or sleep when he has to be alone.

✔ Train your dog to stay home alone without barking. Try leaving him for a few minutes at a time. Do not go out of earshot the first few times. If he barks, go back and tell him ‘stop’ or ‘quiet.’ If he stays quiet, praise him when you return. Gradually lengthen the amount of time you are gone. Then lengthen the distance you go.

✔ Try leaving the TV or radio on when you are away from home. This will give your dog the idea that someone is there.
