My dog whines and barks when I'm out of sight. How?
- Thread starter I bite
- Start date
One thing could be to put him in a crate.When you put him in the crate and he barks or whines you hit the top of the crate with a stern "NO!" , this is will make the dog reallly remember. Because the loud noise of you hitting the crate will get the idea into your dogs head. Another thing is to just leave the dog alone. When he barks dont yell or say anything give him NO attention. He will get the idea and stop barking after a few times. HOPE THIS HELPS!
Well what I've seen on the Dog Whisper You Do a walk out and walk right back in sort of thing to help it with it's anxiety issues. Do this and each time make the length of time longer each time. til it gets use to you leaving, Mine suffers from that at times to, after awhile they will stop. You also can ask Cesar Malian on his web site. Good Luck

Step 1
Firstly, dogs pay attention to detail more than we think. Dogs anxiety actually starts when you are getting ready to leave. When most people leave their house there is a routine they follow. This routine may be getting your jacket then your keys then heading to the door. Whatever the routine is, the dog watches this and gets anxious from the beginning.
Step 2
To stop this anxiety, make the routine of leaving become a small ordeal rather than a major life changing event for the dog. Start by doing the first step of your routine over and over again. If the first thing you do is get your coat from the closet, get your coat and then put it away. Do this about 15-20 times or until the dog gets bored with this portion of the routine.
Step 3
Repeat step 2 with every step of your leaving routine. If your next step is getting your keys, repeatedly get your keys until the dog stops paying attention and so on and so forth. Finally you are ready to head out the door.
Step 4
The last step in anyone's routing of leaving the house is going through the door. The dog keys in on this particular movement the most. This is when they 'get left.' To solve this step, complete your entire routine and then slowly go through the door and shut it behind you. Immediately go back inside and greet your dog and give him attention. After about 4 or 5 times of this, stay outside a little longer each time you leave. The dog will become more and more patient with the leaving portion of the routine. Repeat this step about 15-20 times or until your dog no longer barks as the door is closed and you are not with your pet anymore.
Step 5
Every time you return home, greet your dog and let them know you missed them as much as they missed you and enjoy the knowledge that your dog is not terrorizing the neighbors with noise!
