Hello everyone! I have a question for you regarding barking.. I am always trying to grow, find better solutions, & create a better environment as a dog momma for my 3 furbabies. I am stuck - I am well aware of how this breed is & like to think i know quite a bit about dog breeds (i have work experience with 100’s of dogs) - but I am going to be working from home soon (virtual client appointments) & when my momma’s boy cannot be right next to me - he barks, & barks, & barks at every little noise (which is very common for all day anyways) - & his bark is the worst (loudest - in distress) of my 3 dogs (i have 2 other breeds) - with virtual appointments (me being a business owner) i do not want to risk a client having a bad experience. is there any advice you guys have for this? i’ve tried background noise (music), CBD, closed the curtains, let him outside to run & bark prior to call & gave him water & treat so he would be content - but every little noise is triggering for him. I cannot have him in the room with me either - as me sitting at a desk seems to encourage him to try play. Does anyone have any routines or tricks to help? I want to do what i can to help him reduce stress. I try to talk to him calmly when he barks at any normal time, tell him it’s okay, give him pets, but he goes 0-100 and stays at 100 for 5-10 minutes. Thank you in advance.
TLDR - i will be working from home (virtual appointments) soon and i am wondering how to minimize my boys anxiety while i am in the other room - i am looking to grow and learn how to help him feel less anxious.
