Re: Barking/Howling when alone

When I got indoors, Cassie had wee'd at the door.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what action I can take???

Ive just posted on another thread ANTI BARK -COLLARS a friend of mine has a border collie that barks when left had a letter from the council via a neighbour, to stop her barking, he has used a citronella bark collar and he is amazed it has stopped her within a few days the scent in the bottle shows if the dog has been barking when he first used it got home and quite a bit had been used the next day even less and by the 6th day none had been used so he knew she hadnt barked. Think it cost about £4O
