Hello Everyone!
So Nanook just turned 9 months old, and we just moved into a new smaller place.
He is getting much better with his crate training, will go in willingly, and cries very little when hes in there with the door shut.
I know that it is going to take some time for him to get used to the new place, but until then is there anything I can do to help the process??
When I leave he begins to howl very obnoxiously, and he scratches at the crate. He has plenty of toys/bones/kong toys, I even cover the crate and turn on the TV when I leave. At the old house he was doing very well when I left, so I know a lot if this is due to moving.
I am going to try working him harder before I leave in the mornings as well.
He has a training collar that he responds to very well, he even does excellent off the leash because of it, and I am currently considering buying a bark collar for him. Does anyone have any good experiences with the bark collar?
(please keep all personal opinions of collar use off of the comments. I have had great results with the training collar and as a struggling college student a trainer is out of the options.)
I look forward to hearing your suggestions and advice!
