Hello, I’d like some advice or just a hug please.
Fluffypup is 16 weeks old now. His daily routine looks like this:
6AM get up go for wee and have breakfast. Potter around the house and do a little training until 8AM.
8-9 he is put in a settle on his bed with a carrot, stuffed kong, chew etc.
9-10 we go for a walk by the river.
10-12 he is supposed to nap.
12-1PM he’ll have lunch.
Afternoon we go out somewhere to do socialisation (he is an assistance dog in training).
5PM he’ll have dinner.
6-7 he is put in a settle with a kong, chew, etc.
7-8 do a little bit of training with him.
9PM he goes out for his last wee and settles down for bed. Usually sleeps all night.
Ok so the problem we have is whenever he’s left to settle or go for a nap, he’ll bark. H doesn’t bark himself to sleep he will just bark and bark and bark. I’ve spoken to his trainer and as told to ignore him, leave the room if i must, praise him for any split second of quiet, give him something to tire him mentally. Hence the kongs and things. But those times when he’s not working/walking/spending time with me, he’ll bark the place down. Now i just do not know what to do. He’s a lovely puppy, very quick to learn, very eager to please and on the whole good all round. It is just the barking. Please help me stop it?
