Dog Howling

[bustedoldman]

We have a Silver Lab, anxiety and boredom during the day while we are at work causes her to howl continually (plus any sirens!).....We have tried everything, lots of toys, noise and shock collars, CBD treats....We need to get it stopped as neighbors are complaining. Really would hate to get rid of her but we are almost to that point. Any suggestions???

Excercise him more would likely be a great help....

How old is she?

get up earlier and try to get her some exercises and also exercise at night when you get home. Boredom/confinement for some dogs, especially younger is tough

Try playing the radio for her.  Country stations work best.  But that is too long for a lab to go alone, especially 5 days a week.  Another lab for a companion would probably work.  Even a cat can help.  They are social creatures, and loneliness is like prison for them.

Maybe a pain in the arse but man is she pretty.

I think as well she would love a companion.  What a beautiful dog!!

2 1/2 yrs old. I'm up every morning at 5 am playing fetch /chase/tug of war with her, she runs the fence with the neighbor dogs all day, I get home around 4pm and do the same thing, wife does the same around 5pm when she gets home, weekends are full of activity. Another animal is out of the question.....Anybody use dog walking/sitting services

I know people that do use those services with zero complaints. It sounds like she gets enough exercise and is just lonely. Is she kept outside during the day? If she is, maybe somewhere inside would be better so that she doesn't see/hear the activity around her making her want to get out and join. Radio is a good idea as well

We use a dog daycare service our boarding kennel offers.

It's Night and Day.  It's the only thing we've tried that has actually helped with the separation anxiety. 

He goes twice a week, and he now knows which days he goes, and is up and waiting to leave. 
He loves it, and we don't have a psychotic dog anymore.

Dogs do love routine. My old Chessie is getting long in the tooth. He gets left at home instead of going to work with me some times and it makes him extra cranky... he has been pretty spoiled going tonwork with me at least 4 days a week for the past 11 years.

Anthony, I don’t have much advice other than get her a bud. Well a muzzle would do the trick. Never liked that route though. She is a Beautiful lab. Where did you get her?

A good bark collar.
