Ceaser Milan says to make sure the dog gets PLENTY of excercise. I am guessing that the dog knows when you are about to leave also... one day, go through your normal routine and as you step out side... listen at the door and hear if he starts to wimper or stratch at the door. if he does, open the door and tell him no. he has to know that wimpering and scratching is something he's not allowed to do. also, when you come home, make sure you don't go to him directly. let him bark and bark. give him a couple mins to calm down, then let him out. Also make sure there are lots of toys for him to play with. something like a ball with treats inside should keep him busy. |
