naughty dogs

[Gruntie2]

just wondering if anyone has ever had any problems with their doggies when going out to work... Mine has over the past couple of months been barking for over an hour straight (so the neighbour says) when we go out to work in the morning.... hes 7 so can't understand why hes just doing it... had a dog behaviorist in to try a few things but it doesn't seem to be helping... any ideas

Is he on his own??

I have 2 beagles and they do bark sometimes, never had any complaints.

Yes.. hes on his own.. but hes been on his own like this for 7 years now... can't understand why hes just started doing it....

Hmm, I dont know hun, has new neighbours or anything changed by your house???

No... we've lived in our house now 8 years... and the neigbour who is complaining has lived next door for over 5 years...
Nothing in the house has changed..... we've tried everything the behavioirist has told us to try but he's still barking..... only other thing we could maybe try is the training collars that srpay water in the dogs face when they bark.. but i don't agree with these as i think they are mean..... but i'm getting so stressed about it at the moment.. it can't be good for me....
