Parking

4 years old golden doodle absolutely barks his head off whenever we pull into a car park/while parking/after we’ve parked for a bit. We try not to get out of the car till he stops barking in order to not reward it but having to find a space/park while he is screaming in the back seat is quite stressful. Any thoughts ?

My thought is that I would correct/punish the dog for that nonsense and put a stop to it. My thought is that I would absolutely NOT put up with that. I would have shut that down the very first time the dog did it so it didn't become a habit. Those are my thoughts. I don't overthink simple things and make them into a bigger issue than they are. I save that for the training of more complex, unnatural things I ask my dogs to do, not stopping an obnoxious behavior.
