My dog Teddy is about 8.5 months old, and up until we moved apartments he was fairly well behaved.
We go on a 45min walk before I go to work, then I work 7-4, and when I return home we go to the park for 2 hours and head home.
Before moving, this was usually enough to calm him down so he’d relax and play with toys or chew his bones. But now all he does is pant the second we get inside my new apartment and bark at me if my attention is not solely on him. He stops panting when I go to bed, but resumed when I wake up.
He seemingly doesn’t want any of his toys, I’ve tried playing with him, he either just wants to be pet or to go outside again.
I spent yesterday outside from 5-9pm in negative 10 degree weather because it’s the only way he’ll be quiet. I’m exhausted.
He’s fine when I’m at work, sleeps and plays with toys all day, and when I’m in bed he’ll entertain himself.
Is something wrong? What should I do?
I’ve called trainers and they tell me to ignore him until he stops. but I can’t ignore him or my neighbors will get upset.
