Could this be separation anxiety in rescued pup
Hello everyone! We adopted a 5 month old rescue pup 4 days ago. The foster said he was crate trained and would walk right into his crate for bed, sleep straight through the night for 8 hours, without any problems. He did not do nearly as well in the crate for us at night. The first 2 nights, he cried...

I've heard the best way to teach a dog a "quiet" command is to teach it to bark on command, so he learns the difference between "speak" and "quiet". I'd like tips on how to do this; at the moment Boone only barks when he's alerting to "danger"; this...
