Answer 2

Crate train it and beat that cow, mamacita!
Here's a couple of suggestions from a pro.
BARKING: If your Dog is barking or howling when ignored, then it is most probably because it suffers from separation anxiety. Separation anxiety usually initiates with fear and insecurities. Training the Dog to do some tricks will help it gain self-esteem.
If your Dog is yapping at the neighbors through the fence and annoying them, then behavior modification is the key. You can teach your Dog a reverse command to stop the barking, or utilize anti-bark collars as a deterrent. To teach your Dog a reverse command, it must first know the command "SPEAK".
The SPEAK command is used to teach the Dog to bark, but only when you tell it to (i.e. bark on demand). Once it has mastered the SPEAK command, think of another word to tell the Dog to stop barking . Whatever word you choose it should be one word and preferably one syllable if possible. This process of first teaching your Dog to bark on demand may seem counter-intuitive when your objective is to make it stop barking unnecessarily, but we have found that it works brilliantly in reality. Anti-bark collars come in two types - radio and herbal spray. The radio collars deliver a mild shock when the Dog starts to bark. The collar has prongs that must touch the front of the neck of your Dog so the vibrations of the barking trigger the shock. The herbal spray collars work the same way, only the vibrations trigger a mist of pungent citrus-scented fog into your pet's face. The mist startles the Dog and interrupts the barking.

Make a little bed in a box and put a stuffed animal in there. The puppy is used to being around others and gets lonely at night. The best stuffed animal one that you give babies that have a heart beat.

Answer 4

crate train your pup. is he barking outside or in the house? either way, you should put him in a crate for the night. when he cries, you will know the difference when he just wants out or if he has to potty. but they usually dont bark once they are used to the crate. they know its time to sleep.
