    Afraid to stay home alone since brought to America!

    We recently brought our dog to US on a direct flight from Israel, And since then he begins barking and crying whenever he's left alone in the house.              Can anyone give some advice?? He'll have to stay home by himself eventually....

    Umm. If he was in quarantine (which I imagine he would have to have been) for however many weeks it is maybe he is just upset and insecure from being away from you in a strange, unfriendly kennel for so long. That's all I can think of, if he was fine before the move. I'm sure it's hard and stressful for him. There are a lot of resources around on seperation anxiety. You could try looking up alone training on Google or in a dog training book.

    "I'll Be Home Soon" by Patricia McConnell is the book you might want to get.  Her website is www.dogsbestfriendtraining.com, or you can probably get it on dogwise.com

    I don't think there's a quarantine for dogs coming into the US.
     
    Sounds like separation anxiety and it's fairly common.  So a search for it and you'll find a lot of info and get the recommended McConnell book.
