Soo the thing is, our pet dog is quite the angel in behavior except one thing - it does not stay silent when left on its own in early morning. I wake up to go to job, and ofcouse i has to pass through kitchen where her bed located, she greets me, although stays in bed - sleepy and silent, but the moment i have left house she starts whining, barking and screaming for attention, eventually waking up my mother who is not in best health novadays. This problem is lasting for few months now and we are looking for advice from cynologists, by being located in Moscow, Russia, there is no way to know for sure if a trainer we pay for is trully qualified. Soo i thought i might ask if anyone out there knows some qualified cynologist available for skype call.
Would greatly apreciate.
Try leaving her alone for very short periods of time. Make sure she doesn't cry, reward her for that, and over the days/weeks/months increase the amount of time she's left along.
With dogs, you need to train them for anything the can't handle, taking small steps in the beginning.
Acknowledge and reward positive behavior and avoid doing so for negative behavior. That works for pretty much any animal. It sucks that it's so hard to find a good dog trainer.
To both above - we use the reward for behavior to help it learn basic commands and orders, it is succesful and dog is really good at replication of tasks and general understanding.
It is only in specific cases liek the one i mentioned it refuses to behave, trying to wreck havok on kitchen.
