Hey, so my family rescued a Great Pyrenees from a pretty bad situation about a year ago. He’s super smart and listens well, but he has a major issue that we can’t seem to get him to stop.
He will bark nonstop whenever he is put out on the porch, and he also barks at the slightest noise at night. I assume he barks when he’s outside because he wants attention, so I’ve tried ignoring the barking, but that hasn’t worked at all. I’ve tried telling him “no” when he starts, and he’ll stop for a moment, but then he goes right back to it. I’ve also tried giving him treats when he doesn’t bark in situations where he normally would, but this dude can’t help himself. My family is away from the house during the first half of the day, so there’s not much choice but to leave him outside, but his barking is starting to annoy our neighbors.
My parents are talking about solutions, which I don’t agree with at all, so I need some alternatives to suggest. Could anyone recommend some methods to help fix this issue?
