We brought home a 3 month old husky/shepherd mix on Saturday. The dog is very friendly; however, when we put him outside, he's fine for a while then starts this blood-curdling howling/whining that drives the neighbors nuts. I put a bark collar on him (the type that sprays a lemon scent at his snout when he barks), but I don't think that the whining/howling is enough to trigger it.
Will the dog eventually stop doing this? Is this normal? I know you're not supposed to respond to the howling, because the dog will learn that he can get attention that way. But at the same time, I cannot let him continue to make all that noise outside, so I end up bringing him back inside.
HELP!!!
