Barking when alone Hi ALL... I am hoping yall have some advice because I am in big trouble because of my little girl. Jada is 11 months old and sense I got her she had stayed in her crate when I am gone. A couple weeks ago, my roommate told me that she could not stand the barking anymore and wanted me to try something new. So then I started letting Jada roam around my room when I was gone. But now I got a call from my landlord saying that I will get evicted if I dont get this under control. I have tried spraying with a water bottle, toys, clothing that smells like me, covering the crate up....and NOW i am out of ideas. Please Please give me some adivce....it will be greatly appreciated!:animal-pa |
Have you tried long walks before leaving her? Just to tire her out and help her sleep while you are gone (Cesar would recommend this). Maybe also leaving on a radio by the cage to make her think there is somebody there. I left a clock by the crate at night that seemed to help a bit in the early stages. Or even a TV to keep her entertained.. :) They love squeeky toys if you haven't tried. My little guy also likes to be facing a mirror when I put him in his cage. If I move the cage he barks. Hope this helps. |
[B]My coco had the same problem before when i had to go to work, he used to bark and look throug the window with his little sad face but then i came up with a really nice solution, i feed him half of what i used to in the morning then 1 hour before leaving we go for a walk and then right before i leave i give him the other half of food, in this way when is time to be alone he is tired and hungry and with some food there he'll be more interested on eating and resting than barking. try it, if it worked for me, it might work for you . good luck!! |
Barking Baby I feel your pain, however it is alot to ask of a Yorkie to be penned up and alone most of day and out again some evenings. Would be nice of your roommate to help you and your Yorkie out by playing, walking, etc. rather than complain. Some people think 2nd pet helps to calm each other since dogs are pack animals, however this is not always possibe. I am not a morning person,however I got up earlier just to give attention, walk, run, play before leaving and again in evening. Your baby is just having a bad case of seperation anxiety,and just plain bored. I am a ceretifed Pet Sittter and saw this time and time again. Their families just did not have time for pets. |
just wanted to welcome you to yt:) |

Hi, Jada needs to know that you are coming back. This takes a while but it does work. You need to practice leaving her several times a day. Starting with only for one Min. Just walk out the door don't look at her, don't acknowledge her, close the door stand on the other side and then wait a min. and walk back in. When you walk back in don't acknowledge her or look at her right away. do this several times a day and change it up sometimes put your coat on sometimes have your keys they are very smart and pick up on your habits. Gradually extend the amount of time before you come back in the room. This could take a while but it will work as long as you are consistent. Good luck. Cheryl |
Welcome to YT Luckily, Charlie only yapped at night when we put him to bed and when he is hit the crate and say "no barking". The 2nd night he did make a peep and still hasn't since (unless he has to go out). I just rolled up newspaper and used that to hit the crate. It worked nicely for us. :D |
