Stop the Madness! Fix Excessive Barking in Redmond Before Summer

Let’s set the scene: It’s a peaceful evening in Redmond. You’re sitting outside, sipping something fancy because you’re classy like that, the birds are chirping, and the neighbor’s kid is playing basketball in the driveway.

And then it happens.

BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK.

Your dog—who, by the way, was napping soundly five seconds ago—suddenly thinks they’re auditioning for America’s Got Bark. Full volume. Full commitment. No off switch.

You’re waving your arms, you’re throwing treats, you’re promising a lifetime supply of bacon if they’ll just stop for two seconds—and nothing. It’s like they can’t even hear you over their own barking.

If this sounds familiar, don’t worry. You’re not alone. Redmond’s a beautiful place to live, but if your dog’s voice echoes off every tech building and Tesla showroom, it might be time for a little intervention.

Got Sit Dog Training is here to save your summer (and your sanity) with excessive barking solutions that actually work.

Why Is Your Dog Barking So Much?

It’s easy to assume that excessive barking means your dog is mad about something—maybe the mailman, maybe the wind, maybe an existential dread about the fleeting nature of life. (It’s probably just the mailman.)

But here’s the truth: barking is communication. Your dog is trying to tell you something...they're just doing it at a volume that would startle a jet engine.

Some common reasons dogs bark excessively:

• Boredom (because obviously you have nothing better to do than entertain them 24/7)

• Territorial behavior (the sidewalk belongs to them now)

• Attention-seeking (look at me, LOOK AT ME)

• Separation anxiety (they think you disappeared forever when you went to the garage)

• Fear or reactivity (stranger danger...even if the “stranger” is a plastic bag blowing down the street)

The good news is that no matter why your pup is going for the World Record in Noise Pollution, we can help bring the volume way down before summer BBQ season.

Redmond Life = Lots of Triggers

Now, let’s not blame the dogs entirely. Redmond is packed full of distractions and triggers. You’ve got:

• Delivery trucks every ten seconds

• Bikers zooming past like it’s the Tour de France

• Kids riding e-scooters like they’re auditioning for a Marvel movie

• Dogs. So. Many. Other. Dogs.

If your dog barks every time a new thing rolls by, it’s understandable. That said, understandable doesn't mean sustainable. You cannot spend another summer shouting “NO BARKING!” while your neighbor gives you that look like they’re reconsidering their life choices.

Leash training, behavioral training, and good old-fashioned obedience training can make a world of difference. (And no, posting a passive-aggressive note on NextDoor doesn’t count as training.)

Summer Is Coming—And So Is More Barking (If You Don’t Act Now)

Think about it:

• Longer days

• Open windows

• More people outside

• More dogs, more joggers, more everything

If you think your dog’s barking is bad now, wait until June rolls around and Redmond feels like Times Square with better hiking trails.

Now is the time to get ahead of the madness. Starting in spring means you’re not dealing with barking meltdowns when it’s too hot to deal with anything. Plus, nobody wants to be "that house" at the neighborhood block party—the one where everyone knows, “Oh yeah, that’s the one with the dog that won’t shut up.”

Let’s fix it before your invite to the barbecue mysteriously gets "lost in the mail."

How Got Sit Dog Training Stops Excessive Barking

You don’t just want to quiet the barking—you want to solve the problem.

At Got Sit Dog Training, we focus on why your dog is barking and teach them (and you) better ways to communicate. Our secret?

• Positive reinforcement (because shouting back at them never really works, does it?)

• Real-world training (in your home, your neighborhood—where it actually matters)

• Customized plans (because a Chihuahua and a Great Dane don't need the same playbook)

• Consistency and structure (because dogs, like us, thrive when they know the rules)

We don’t believe in magic. We believe in practical, proven methods that work in the real world—rain or shine, Tesla traffic or not.

Our trainers (Marvin, Corey, Alicia, Hillary, and the rest of the dream team) have worked with all kinds of barkers:

• The “everything that moves” barker

• The “bored and loud” barker

• The “you left me alone for 3 minutes, HOW COULD YOU” barker

And trust us, no case is too crazy. (We’ve trained a Beagle that barked at the microwave.)

Redmond Deserves Quieter Dogs (And So Do You)

Imagine it:

• Taking a peaceful walk through Marymoor Park without your dog announcing your arrival like a marching band

• Having a backyard BBQ without your pup providing unwanted musical accompaniment

• Actually hearing the birds chirp instead of drowning them out with 120 decibels of pure bark

It’s not a fantasy. It’s what happens when you invest in behavioral training that works.

And let’s be honest, your neighbors in Education Hill, Downtown Redmond, or Grass Lawn will appreciate the effort. They might even start waving at you again instead of pretending to check their phones every time they walk past.
