 Just Rescued 2yr yorkie from shelter and he cries, whines and barks all day
Hello YT community! I am new to the site and look fwd to connecting.
My family and I just rescued a 2yr old yorkie from the pound. We have placed him outside with our other dog so that they can keep each other company. When we saw him at the shelter he seemed calmed and okay with confinement. But over the last two days, he cries, whines and barks all day and night. He has not allowed my neighbors and family to get rest.
Our Jacques is full of energy. We've been taking him out three times a day, which he loves. I've noticed that he cries and wants to run after them when he sees people running. I don't know if it's because it reminds him of his previous owners. He is eating and drinking regularly. But I don't know how we can get him to stop crying and barking all the time. I was thinking of going to get an electronic bark collar to help correct the behavior. But I would truly appreciate any suggestions.
I've tried talking him and letting him know it's okay. I've also rolled a newspaper and hit the floor and fence to make a noise, as suggested by a forum I read on YT. In addition, I looked him and the eyes and said "no" and "quiet". I'm running out of ideas. Please help as the rest of my family is losing patience.
Tx!
