Hey guys, I need help. 2 years ago, I rescued a male Indian pariah. I had no experience being a dog parent, so I hardly trained him. Except for stuff like sitting and pooping. He has massive separation anxiety, constantly whines when left alone (even after massively tiring him out). This is primarily because he was a covid dog and we were mostly at home during those initial months.
Another issue is he whines/barks incessantly when someone visits our house and he has to be leashed up (because the visitor is uncomfortable with dogs). He will try and break free to come to the visitor and create a ruckus barking and crying. He's not aggressive, he just wants to cuddle with everyone. Will a bark collar help? What should we do?
Any tips on how we can train him? I know we should've trained him when he was young, but I was inexperienced.
