It is important to remember that not barking is a natural behavior for a dog, and there are many positive reinforcement methods you can use to encourage quietness from your pup. Here are a few tips on how to ensure that your pup stays quiet without hurting it:
- Establish clear boundaries and limitations for your pet by providing consistent cues when needed; 
- Designate areas where the dog is not allowed to bark; 
- Provide chew and scratch zones within the home, such as pet mats or pillows; 
- Use calming music and essential oils if necessary; 
- Make sure they get enough exercise, mental stimulation and companionship; 
- Have consistent training sessions with commands like “quiet” or “hush” backed up with positive reinforcement treats.

It's important to ensure that your dog is not injured or mistreated when trying to stop it from barking. Positive reinforcement is the best way to go about this - find a quiet time of day when your dog isn't likely to bark and reward it with extra treats, extra playtime, and plenty of affection whenever it stays quiet for extended periods of time. You can also invest in products such as noisy dogs silencers that will help deaden any echoing noise but won’t hurt your pup. With patience and consistency over time, you can effectively train your furry companion to be respectful without compromising its happiness or well-being.
