hang in there!
You've gotten great advice so far. Go with that and one other suggestion: Talk to your neighbor, explain that you are training and that a little barking now, will me a much quieter dog in the future.
Anytime you get him out, while he's fussing/whining/barking you reinforce that behavior. You will only get more of it.
Wait until he's quieted (use suggestions above from previous posters to achieve that) before getting him out. He's already learned that whining works, so it'll take awhile to convince him otherwise.
Good luck! |
