how to stop my 3 month old puppy from barking when i walk away from her?

She's not crate trained. A crate trained dog/puppy will not bark relentlessly in there because they feel safe and secure in the crate. When I first got my puppy, I left the crate door open and gated off the bedroom door (this way, he could go in and out as he pleased but not leave the bedroom). I did this for the first few nights and he mainly slept outside of the crate. I never forced him in the crate. For those first few days, I simply waited until he passed out sleeping and gently scooped him up and put him inside the crate. He'd eventually wake up and leave the crate and sleep on the bedroom floor. After a few days of that, I then proceeded to place him in there while sleeping and close the door. I did this during naps rather than overnight because he was simply not ready to be locked in overnight. I NEVER let him out while whining, crying, scratching, barking. I waited for him to be calm (even if for a second) and then let him out. He quickly caught on that calm was the way to be in the crate. Keep in mind, a puppy may bark and cry in the crate because they need to go to the bathroom. If that's the case, quickly bring him outside and afterwards place back in the crate with no words, affection, etc. I also started feeding him in the crate, during which he eventually accepted the door to be closed and eventually locked. Feeding him in the crate was what really began to make a difference and he began to feel connected to the crate. I was then able to lock him overnight (of course, if I hear him give a little cry I know he has to go outside). Again, I never force him in the crate. I now bribe him with a small puppy milkbone-type bone. I say "go to your room" and he trots on in knowing he'll get a treat. It took a full week to get to this point. Oh- I also have a particular stuffed toy that only stays in the crate. He used to chew it for a bit and now uses it as his pillow.

Now, I don't believe a 3-month-old puppy, that is clearly insecure because you've only had her for FOUR days, should be left alone on the porch. First train her to accept the crate, as she will simultaneously learn to accept that being alone for a bit is okay. Not to mention the fact that she is very vulnerable to other loose animals or people who may want to swipe her (it's been known to happen).

Edit: Every dog is different. Just because it was easy to crate train the other two dogs, doesn't mean the third will be the same and she may require you to alter your technique. Although the porch is fenced in, the puppy isn't comfortable being alone with the two other dogs. It's rather unwise to trust your two grown dogs with a small puppy, especially since she's only been living there 4 days. Sometimes you have to listen to your puppy. They DO try to communicate, and she's communicating that she's uncomfortable outside alone on the porch with the two other dogs. Listen to her and be patient with her.

Well it sounds like something really upset him while you were gone. Try squirting him with a spray bottle of water. Use the stream setting. When you walk away and he starts barking say No in a firm voice and spray him. Continue this untill he stops barking when you are out of site. If this doesn't work try using a mixture of vinigar and water in the spray bottle. This should help. Also try putting him in his crate earlier so that you can get some sleep. or put his crate in your room where he can see you. if he still barks being in your room use the spray bottle. Good luck. You have tried all my other methods. I hae six dogs all crate trained and have trained my clients dogs this way. i am a groomer and sometimes dogs will bark once there owners leave. Some of my clients say it has helped them at home.

Yes there are trainging techniques that you can use, lucky for you, i am a dog trainer. Learn here https://tr.im/ompaT

Have you ever heard of the "leave it" command. It is veryimportant your dog learns this. To teach it to your dog, start with something you use as a treat. Put it on the floor infront of your dog. When your dog lunges for it, but your hand over it and say "leave it" really strenly, so your dog gets the message. Do this a few times until your dog gets the idea. When your dog has performed this well, gove him the OK and let him have the treat with you okey dokey command, which could be anything to tell him he canhave the treat.

Then move up a level. Put the treat in your hand and hold it near your dogs nose, finger pointing up. If your dog tries to snatch it, say "leave it" When your dog's nose points in another direction ither than the treat, you've been succesful. Now take it to the next and final level.... the dinner table. sit at the table and enjoy a meal. When your dog begins to beg, enforce the leave it command. if your dog doesn't leave, tell your dog to lay down somewhere in the room far away.

I understand if you like having your dogs with you while you eat so the location of you dog while training is essential. Keep you dog as far away as possible. If you see your dog sneaking over to your table, make eyecontact and enforce the leave it command. If your dog gets up, it isn't obeying, now you need to stand up and make eyecontact. This tells your dog you're ready to do whatever it takes to keep him away from YOUR food. ALWAYS make eyecontact while your eating and your dog is laying down. Make frequent eye contact so your dog can't sneak up to the table with out you knowing. I've done this with many people, and it works even for the worst of beggars. This training may take time, but have perserverence ok? And NEVER feed the dog at the table. It encourages begging.

Take a lot of treats and put them into your pocket. This may take a while. Whenever you walk away, say shh, and be quiet until she stops barking. When she stops, walk over and give her a treat. Rub her, and then walk away again. Keep doing this until you run out of treats, or she is a quick learner and stops barking.

Have fun! lol
