Thanks for the help. I took the shock collar back for the citranella one because of the shocking. I didn't realize what i bought when i did, i just bought the cheapest dog collar that helps with barking lol.
As for walking him, i do let him out alot but i dont walk him around to much. He gets lots of energy out at home though. I'll try walking him before bed. As for leaving him alone when he barks, that wont work. He gets really loud at 5am and if i let him bark he will continue on and on. I ignored him once and he barked for 2 hours, then i got a complaint from the nabior about it. So i never ignore him anymore. I usually go to his pen, yell at him and say bad boy. Then squirt him with water. Then go back to sleep. He shuts up, then i fall back to sleep, but then he starts back up 1-2 hours later. I repeat the proceedure and it works again, except 1-2 hours later he starts right back up. I would let him roam my living room, but he has yet to be 100% potty trained. He was doing so we'll then when i brought my friends yorkie over he forgot it all, so i have to confine him again.
I'll keep you guys updated if i find a working method for this pup. |
