We have an almost 4 year old 7lb Shih Tzu who has not adjusted well to our newborn baby. Before she was born, our dog would howl/scream bark anytime we started singing/talking in a high pitch voice. Now every time our newborn cries he starts doing the same thing and won’t stop. It’s like he’s sympathy crying. It’s so overstimulating and obnoxious. We have resorted to just putting him in our bedroom when he does this. Now he even cries and gets worked up towards the monitor. We’ve tried positive reinforcement by giving him treats while she cries, but he eventually gets worked up anyway. Has anyone experienced something like this? What do we do?
