Oh boy, do I ever know what you mean. When we go outside, Galahad barks and screams at all the kids in the neighborhood, straining to get to them, because he wants them to come pet him. When I bring him in (unpetted by all the kids), he screams at me for about 5 minutes before calming down.
When I leave the house for any reason without him, he whines, then barks, then screams at the door until I come back in. If I don't come back in (gone to the store or something), he keeps it up until my husband can find an effective diversion, but even then, he says he whines the whole time I'm gone.
The only time he's mostly okay if I go outside without him: When my kids are awake for him to play with.
I'm not extremely sick of it yet, lol, but I will tel you that the citronella spray collar and the bark repeller device can NOT get here fast enough.
I'd love to take him to the store with me, but until we get the barking under control, it's not possible. |
