I rarely ever have to leave him, but when I do, I put him into the bathroom with the puppy gate blocking the door. I leave my second yorkie on the outside because I feel that I can trust her and she is housebroken. I give him plenty of toys, his food and water, and his crate as well. Also, I normally turn up the TV or radio really loud to block out him barking/other noises. I know about gradually increasing the time I leave him, not make a big deal when leaving, etc. but does anyone have any tips on how to stop him from barking?

I left him alone tonight for about 5 hours and the people upstairs came down and complained about him barking so much.

Help!
