hi, how's ur dog now? getting any better? if not, here's my piece of mind... well...i hv to say that getting a new companion now might not help...coz from my own exp, i hv 2 puppies now...and they fight each time i put them together...so if u hv another dog now, ur current poodle perhaps will stop screaming, but he might fight with ur new dog whole day long until u r back!!!! and u might face the risk of having them both injured while wrestling...oh yeah, and FYI, poodle can b quite easily jealous too...so he might think that u don love him anymore... and if u lock both of them up, then i guess both will bark/scream which will only make matters worst. so if u really going for another dog to accompany ur poodle, you must make sure that u hv enough time to spend with them. but if u can spend time, it will b better to spend time with one dog now until he is used to u and ur routine, before getting another one (if u really want to) not dat i am against 2 dogs...in fact, beside the fact that they r fighting, they r cute and sometimes will b nice to each other (although only for a very short while ) but i guess if u wan to solve the problem, mayb you should get him to accustom to your routine...poodle is very smart..he will soon learn about ur routine and realizes that it is no use to scream or shout when u r goin to work... my poodle knows each morning when i am getting ready to work..she will juz sit at a corner looking at me sadly. (of course, this only makes me feel like staying back home juz to b with her) try to ignore him each time he screams or bark....and when he stops, quickly praise him..soon he will know that screaming and barking will not get him anything...if u ask him not to bark, this means u r actually giving him the attention he wanted...so just ignore him totally...turn away and do ur stuff as if he is not there... anyway....i guess it is really your call on what to do to solve ur problem...hope this helps!!! ALL THE BEST!!!
