Hi Everyone, My name is April and I am new to the
board. I have been watching it for about a month now. This is my first post. I
have a 5 month old pyr named Kiah. She is crated. Two weeks ago I had relatives
stay with us and they slept in the same room with her. Since then Kiah has been
barking at night. She barked at night when we first got her but then quit after
she was crate trained. Now she has started up again. My relatives have stayed
with us before and Kiah would bark the next night, but then would quit after
that. This time she hasn’t stopped. I also have a two year old daughter
who wakes up when the dog barks, so no one is my household gets any sleep. Kiah
also barks like crazy when we leave the house. She has set off our security
alarm 3 times and has gotten out of her wire crate twice. We fixed the problem
of her getting out with hooks on the crate door. Does anyone have any ideas on
how to correct this behavior? I’ve been told to get a shock collar. When I
go get her out of her crate her face and feet are wet and she’s panting
like crazy. Does she have separation anxiety? This is my first pyr. So far the
only time Kiah barks is in her crate. She doesn’t bark at any other time.
Any information will be appreciated. I just read the post about the pheromone would
that help if I use it in Kiah’s crate? Thanks a bunch, April Kiah (pyr) Flash, Mookey & Jazmin (cats) Anubis & Siris (bearded dragons) |
