There may be different reasons why a dog cannot calm down and barks incessantly.

Barking may be caused by a desire to protect territory, or perhaps the dog is experiencing a lack of attention, or perhaps the reason lies in physical exertion.

It is possible to train a dog to stop barking excessively, but it will require patience and a systematic approach.

First, you need to determine why the dog is barking. It may be due to territorial protection, anxiety, joy, jealousy, or even illness.

It is important to consider that chaotic parenting or lack of discipline can also contribute to the problem.

To solve this problem, you need to gain a leadership position and establish clear rules. Teach your dog the commands "Speak!" and "Quiet!" using positive reinforcement.

Regular exercise will help reduce stress levels and prevent boredom barking. Ignoring barking as a form of manipulation is also important.

It is not recommended to scold or punish your dog, as this may make the problem worse. Instead, it is better to focus on positive reinforcement of the desired behavior.

Consulting with a professional dog trainer may be helpful, especially if the problem seems complex.

Consistency and patience are the keys to successful training. They can greatly improve your dog's behavior and create a comfortable environment for both you and others.
