lankeela or any other dog experts please help! kennel probloms!
My aunt has a german shepherd with separation anxiaty and hates the kennel Chance (the dog) is a rescue, his last owners left him on the street. :-( When he is in the kennel he whines and barks HOW DO YOU STOP THAT?? They've tried a blanket and simply ignoring him but doesn't seem to work. She has a shock collar but would prefer not to use it. Any other ideas?

The indoor cage is the best idea if they're dead set on keeping him, but as he's young, and has some issues, it's going to take lots of work and patience to get him over these and using a shock collar is an appalling idea- so please don't do that, he'd be far better somewhere else if they're even considering that.
If he's destructive he's worried upset and bored by and large so don't leave him alone for long periods and when you do put him in an indoor cage/ crate inj the house and as crafty said leave the tV on. Get him used to the crate for short periods at first when they are about and gradually lengthen the time until he's calm and happy, then go out for a very short period etc... I'm sure you get my drift.
I have a Cocker Spaniel Puppy, I have left her alone for a short time every day since I got her, and have gradually extended the time she is left, she is now fine for around 3 to 4 hours, she just goes to her bed until I return!....and so she is obviously settled, and knows that I'll be home soon!.....
