We've recently moved into a new apartment. We've been here for about 3 weeks now. The first week it was good.. the dogs didn't really bark much or behave badly. Gradually though, things have gotten worse.The people who live upstairs have dogs ..so if Chico even hears them a tiny bit, he goes off. Pedro only barks if he does. Chico will also bark if he hears something outside, or someone walking up the stairs, etc. If he actually sees a dog outside or a person, it's 100x worse. He'll almost try and charge at them. It's to the point where it's beyond annoying and he may just have to go live with my parents.
Nothing I have tried has worked. We've tried putting his bed in the room at night (figuring maybe he just wants to be near us - HAH), using a clicker, using that 'bark-off' machine, and just plain out using the Cesar Millan "SHH" ...Other than that, I've tried giving him a rawhide bone during the night to try and keep him occupied ..that plan failed miserably .. he gets extremely agressive with them and bites/grows at Pedro. I'm not sure if I should try getting a little radio at night so it blocks some of the noise out? But he'll also whine and cry if we keep him out of the bedroom.. He sleeps a lot during the day, so no wonder he doesn't want to sleep at 4am. But I do.
