Separation Anxiety a common cause for barking
Dog Separation Anxiety is a common problem with several types of dogs. A quick fix solution, is to not make a big deal about leaving home. Don't set up your dog for your departure, make it as low key as possible. Not only your departure but your arrival back home. Many experts suggest totally ignoring your dog for 5 minutes before leaving and 5 minutes after coming back home. Thereby do not making a fuss at all about coming or going. Leave your radio on, or the television, so your dog does not have total silence in your absence. Another solution is to keep your dog occupied immediately after your departure with a chew stick or snack so that he won't even notice you have left.
