I had a Boston Terrier in an apartment before and it was never a problem.

Yes, I am crate training her but leave her in an xpen when I am gone for more than 4 hours. She is great about holding it or using her pee pads when I am not home. The problem is when I AM home...

The reason I believe she is bad is because she will hold it up to 9 hours when we are gone but if we are at home she likes to potty in the house, a lot of times right in front of us!

Thanks for the suggestion - I will try giving her a kong and using music. I am also going to set up a webcam to monitor her barking since I'm surprised my neighbors didn't talk to me first.

Has anyone used the little machines that emit high-pitched noises when they bark? I am looking into one of those too...
