I hope someone can give me some advice ....
We will hopefully be adopting a 1yr old former stray cav who is also deaf ...
Staff at the rescue say he's great with the other dogs, BUT he barks all the time when in his kennel / run. I'm guessing he doesn't like being kennelled, is lonely, confused, and if he can't SEE the staff and certainly cannot hear them, he thinks they've gone and left him, and he's all alone AGAIN!
What is the best course of action? Will he most probably settle down in a home environment? Should we consider getting 2 dogs so that when he's left aone, he will have canine company? Has anyone else had a similar experience? Thanks in advance.
