You've covered all the bases - taking him out for a good walk before you leave, having a pet-sitter come in, etc....it's difficult isn't it - my son always used to say "It's a shame they can't read".... 
But they can watch tv or listen to the radio, I wonder if you've tried either of those? He might be a little bit lonely (I suppose another pup's out of the question?!!?  ).
We had a similar problem with Harry when he was tiny - what made it better for him and us, was when we able to trust him enough to have the run of the house. Not just pottying, but past the chewing stage (thinking of the wires!) - he was then able to look out of the front window at the passers-by, and out of the back at the squirrels.
All barking and crying stopped then, he had more to occupy his mind, and we've never ever looked back. We took the plunge at about 10 months  I hope you manage to sort this out, good luck! Sally + Harry x |
I do leave the TV on, he can't see it from his ex-pen, but he can hear it.
We REALLY want another puppy, but we are being responsible and making sure we are 100% ready for it so it'll probably take us another 5 months or so...
how did you transition into giving him free run of the house? did you do it little by little, or one day you just let him loose?
maybe I'll try to make his play area bigger...
Does Harry bark at the passer-bys or the squirrels?
