German Shepherd Whines Once Abandoned In Kennel

By Denny Kyer


Dear Mr. Katz:

I have a 6 month old German Shepherd named Thor. Obtaining read your book, I applied your strategies to him and he responded quite quickly, to my surprise!

He's fairly very good at a sit-stay and down-stay now, which can be really, really beneficial. I do have one problem that I could not repair with him even though.

Listed below are the circumstances as well as the problem:

Thor lives outside in a dog kennel/pen issue, I stroll him every day and play ball with him and constantly ensure he has food and water, I brush him and I commit a great deal of time with him. But anytime I leave him, he sits and whines for half an hour! He just won't be quiet! And if I go back out to create him cease, as soon as he sees me, he's quiet... but as quickly as I leave, he starts whining and barking again, so I just ignore him, but it has gotten to become such an issue that the neighbors have began to complain about it. I don't make a massive deal out of leaving him or something. I just say 'Bye Thor' and leave.

Dear Christina:

Welcome towards the wonderful globe of German Shepherd ownership.

Here's what you'll be able to try:

1. Wait till he truly begins whining and barking loudly. Then use the Bridging method as described within the book (No, NO, No) and go back and correct him with the collar. Leave the pinch collar on, but maintain the tab with you. Hook the tab on the collar, correct the dog, then take the tab off and stroll away. Please note that you are going to also need to later practice placing the tab on the dog, feeding him a cookie, then taking the tab off, in order that the dog will not come to associate wearing a tab with a correction.

2. If Tip #1 doesn't operate, pick a time when your neighbors are away. Ignore the dog. Wait until he lastly settles down and is quiet... then wait another 2 minutes. Go back for the dog and let him out. Your goal is usually to teach the dog that becoming quiet will get him what he wants.

3. Just ignore him. Sooner or later he will understand that this behavior doesn't product the results he desires, nevertheless it might take a few weeks. Also, boost his day-to-day exercising regimen, substantially. You could also experiment with changing his dog food.

Distinct things work for diverse dogs in terms of this behavior. Unfortunately, there is no quick cure-all.

That's all for now, folks! Adam.
