we have 2 xsbt one is ten years the other nearly 2 years. over the past 2 months our youngest has started howling or barking after we leave. hes never done this before and we have had him since he was 14weeks. we havent moved or changed our routine at all. we were told this by a neighbour so decided to record our youngest and yes he was howling and barking alright. he only howls the once but then barks for a maximum of 2 minutes then all is silent for the rest of the time were out. the radio is left on low for him hes given treats to keep him occupied and he goes out for exercise beforehand. anyone any ideas as to whatelse we can do to stop him from howling and barking?

Well I would say what your problem here is that your dog just really loves you. I have seen lots of dogs that act in the same way. They have grown so attached to you that they become sad when you leave. I really don't know what you could really do about this. The only suggestion I have would be, take him with you when you can. But then you risk that when there are times that you can't take him, the barking and howling would be worse. If you are lucky it will pass once he realizes that yes you are coming back.

Make an appt for him at the vet to discuss seperation anxiety- there is a medication out there called clomicalm, and it works wonders...Besides the howling, is he displaying destructive behavior? Our dog was chewing holes in the sheetrock next to the door!! You might also want to leave him an old sweater of yours to lay on..... :) Or, check your yellow pages and sign him up for a doggy daycare, where he'll spend all day socializing w/ other puppies!!

Maybe he Is lonely... He might want some other dogs to play with because I'm pretty sure the 10 year old dog doesn't want to play. maybe you guys should spend more time with the dog.

He must be in his terrible two's and get's lonely when you leave him alone. That should stop after a few more months.
