Barking

Problem barker

I have a 1 1/2 yr old male Border Collie named Justice and it was just brought to my attention by the local police department that my dog barks all the time when I am not at home. Apparently one of the neighbors contacted the police instead of letting me know about the situation. I have tried my best to keep him quiet throughout the day, he would only bark when someone came to the house. Now I am afraid to leave the house because if I don't keep my dog quiet and the police have to come out to my house I can get a citation.

Hi all,
I am new to this site and am excited to be on it.
Problem. I have a 9 month old Bichon, Renoir (Renni), who is much more yappy than his older brother,

Barking at hot air balloons

I have a nine year old Rhodesian Ridgeback who likes to bark at hot air balloons. My house is directly under the flight path and he can hear them coming from miles away and can watch them almost down to the ground when they land because we are at the top of the hill. They usually go over between 6.00 and 7.30am and he barks continuously while they go over. Sometimes there can be 3 or 4 go over in a morning. My neighbours are good about it, but tolerance has its limits. It is especially bad on the weekend when everyone is wanting to sleep in.

5 Month Old Yorkie Pooh

Hi Everyone!
Boy do I need some help with Lucy. She doesn't tell us when she has got to go potty. She pees and poopies in the house. When we try to pick her up to take her to her poop box she runs away from us; Lucy thinks it's all a game. (Ha Ha try to catch me to go P!). It's quite a work out just trying to catch her.
Lucy loves to play, but she will bark and bark until we play with her. She loves to play fetch. Any ideas with Lucy she is such a handful and she still likes to nip when she is playing.

Thank you all.

Deaf Dog's Behavioural Problems

Can anyone help me with my 12yr old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel?
Since my Rottie died 13mths ago I have been having trouble with Jasper. We have always been close ( from the moment I rescued him at age 7 when he was already deaf) but now I cann't leave him at home, either alone or with my partner. He cries & barks all the time. I don't give him a lot of attention but he is in the house and around me a lot.

If I take him with me in the car I can leave him for hours. He will either sleep or look out of the window quite happily, but at home he cries.
