Ok, need a rant. Adopted our ball of fluff a month ago. He is about 1 years old and neutered. He is good in so many ways, sleeps quietly at night downstairs, affectionate, playful, good at learning new things, toilet trained easily. However, he has started barking when left alone for even 10 minutes. This was not the case at the start, and it seems to have developed in the last week or two. He also aggressively barks at my neighbours and my partners parents when they visit but can then be sweet as a pie with others in the house. Hes very inconsistent. On walks he will pass by 10 people with no reaction and bark his head off at the 11th. He also spooks easily and will bark and lunge at people coming out their front door, cars etc. He just barked and growled at my lovely neighbour this morning and growled at a random dog so I'm feeling particularly fed up and embarrassed. Not to mention I'm trapped in my own home. Please tell me it gets easier. Any tips are welcome.
