Some people use a doggy daycare. I know that's not an option for many people. Do you know someone who could dog sit a couple of days a week?
I don't think shutting him out of the room is such a bad thing. If you worked outside of the home you would be gone most of the day.
Sounds like your too stressed to get him a friend to play with. He seems like a high energy dog that needs stuff to keep his mind and body busy. I know everyone recommends small dogs to live in apartments and with people who work but many of them do need an abundance of exercise and activity. He's just a high maintenance kind of guy. |
