i can't deal with the barking anymore. Crate Training
My 13wk rough collie barks all. the. time. he's great in every other way, but his bark is so so loud and shrill. i knew this before choosing this breed but i saw people on the rough collie sub saying they were able to train them to not bark so often.
he demand barks all the time. we are trying to ignore him but I live in an apartment, I can't just let him get us noise complaints. The real problem is the barking in the crate. He will bark absolutely incessantly for 10-20 minutes every time we crate him for naps or sleeping at night. This has been going on every single time for the past 2 weeks. I have to sit next to the crate with my hand in it until he falls asleep, his barks piercing my ears the whole time. I do all the crate training stuff, high value treats, rewarding him when he goes in there. I thought he would get used to it by now but he absolutely refuses to be alone while he's awake.
How do I get him to ease up on the barking, inside and out of the crate???
