How do I stop my dog barking when we leave? General Dog Discussions
We have just adopted a 7 year old German Shepherd. His old family told us that he was fine being left alone at night time, but whenever we leave he just won't stop whining! I know that this is due to the dramatic change in his life, but I was wondering what the best way to prevent this behavior would be. Do we leave him alone all night when he barks? Or is it like training a puppy? Leaving him alone for 10 mins, then 20 then 30 at a time etc. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
