Is the GNC ultra mega calming formula safe for my puppy? He is disturbing the neighbors when I leave to work by continuously barking. I don’t know what to do.

I think the supplements should be safe. They by themselves may not be effective enough to stop the barking. Typically exercise is a huge part of controlling unwanted behavior. A tired puppy has less energy for bad behavior. Monty should be having at least 1 HARD play episode or walk/jog once to twice day. You could also look into something like doggie daycare for a few days a week. This tends to help these young dogs burn some energy! You could also try giving Monty 'projects' like a kong filled with treats and frozen peanut butter. There are bark collars that supposedly help control barking by a variety of means. Lastly, you may look into working with a trainer who may be able to help curb the behavior. I hope this helps!
