My German Sheppard "Doc" is a family member to us. He is getting old now- 5 years of age and obese for his age.
He now is barking all the time and not sure what to do. I do not want to put him down because it would bring much sadness for my family.
What do you do for your barking dog?
why instead of asking us if you really love the Dog you must go with the expert because as what you said He is getting obese and maybe that made Him Stressful .
So expert opinion is much better than asking us here.
I have a Dog all my life but in my experience Dogs only Barks when they are feeling someone near the territory (other elements or other people)
