Not Alone
How can I get my miniature schnauzer to stop barking when he is alone throughout the day?
I've had my miniature schnauzer since he was 6 weeks old. He is now 2 and half years. His barking has never been a problem until recently. He is extremely well behaved and has a very loving demeanor. While I am at home, he never barks uncontrollably. When I am away for the day, I've heard rumors from angry neighbors that he has on occasion, barked non-stop. There is construction going on and there is constant noise around the condo which I believe is the reason he has been barking so much. I've tried the sonic collar which emits a loud noise that is supposed to deter him from barking but it does not seem to work. I've tried the harmless shock collar but it does not stay in place so its not effective. I have resorted to placing a muzzle on him while I am away from the home. But I can't stand leaving him with a muzzle on. He looks so miserable. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. He truly is an awesome dog when he is not alone, but his daytime barking is creating a huge problem.
How long are you gone? If it's longer than 4-5 hours a day, you need to get him into doggie daycare.
Also, schnauzers bark. That's pretty much a given with the breed. Schnauzers and apartments just don't mix because of this - when you get a barker.
Shock collars and muzzles are not only dangerous to use unsupervised, they won't solve the issue.
Get the dog into a better situation during the day and it should help the problem.
