Well, there are solutions... I have 3 puppies with me, all strays and different ages.... actually, pups want to be with someone or something like a companion... what I do is cage the pups and leave them alone for a day... they will bark and after a while, they will realise nothing will come if they bark so they keep quiet and sleep. So if your dog barks and you come ruching to hime and talk to him, in his mid he's thinking 'Great! I bark and owner will come. yay! I will do this everytime' To make your dog comfortable being alone, get a toy with lots of holes... like those kong toys or any rubber toys for dogs that can be fuilled with some dog treats... put in his cage and let him play by trying to gte the treat out... I also hang a rubber bone using a string to make it swing hen he pushes it.... and on the radio if you like... maybe put a mirror next to him, a big one so he can see himslef, he will think it's another dog that will keep him company... try this, see what happens.... Try and ask your neighbours to give some time to you... maybe tell them in advance that today you will be trying to leave him completely alone so he will bark... Close the door behind you, don't look back and see what happens... best you do this during afternoon when eveyone is away... Good Luck! Willy, my beloved shih tzu (22 March 1994- 8 August 2005) May you rest and live happily in Rainbow Bridge with the rest. You will forever be deeply missed by all. Puppies and kittens, helpless and innocent are always roaming the streets as strays. Adopt from animal shelthers to save them. THEY NEED YOUR HELP AND LOVE
