Dog barks as we arrive at our destination

[balzamico]

And it’s ear splitting! We drive practically every day to a number of different walks, he’s a tall dog so he can see out of the windows of the boot. He’s never liked the car much but the walks nearby are really limited. As we arrive at our walk and as we arrive home he barks, a really high pitched bark, I know he's excited to be where we’ve arrived but its really hard to park up with him yapping in the back. Any ideas please? He wouldn’t take a treat and if hes in the car he tries to climb into the front

I'd arrive then drive off again and go home

the one time no barking I'd be out the car like a shot but no noise no excitement.

basically how I'd treat a toddler 😂

By home I meant a boring walk iukwim

Ours does exactly the same - and from what I see/hear from other dogs, it's very common! It's just how many of them express their excitement. I've tried 'settle', or only letting him out on 'quiet', but neither works - so now I just go with it and let him out to sniff which regulates him.

The thing is that dogs aren't baby humans. He won't associate being taken home without an anticipated exciting walk with the idea that it's punishment because he barked.

I don't get how you can't park with him barking? Turn the radio up?

Do you know much about dogs?
