We have a four-year old lhaso apso mix, which we got two years ago. For those first two years, we lived in a large apartment. There were never barking problems.
We just bought our first home, and it has a fenced in backyard. Now, from the time our pup goes outside to do his business until he comes back in, he is barking. It doesn't matter what time it is, and it doesn't matter if we are with him or not.
He barks at EVERYTHING. If he glimpses any type of movement (even shifting light, it seems) or hears any sound from the other side of the fence, he runs in that general direction barking his head off, and doesn't stop for quite a while.
I understand that he's probably just protecting his territory, and having a backyard will be an adjustment for him. But my husband and I leave pretty early for work, and we don't want to be the annoying neigbors with the noisy dog. What can we do?
