Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 4 years and 7 months old | 80 lbs
I have a 4 year old pitbull male that is fixed and and a 3 year old pitbull female who is not spayed. I have to stay at a hotel till I have enough for a home. I'm afraid my dogs will bark when I'm at work.. any suggestions for keeping them quite so I can leave for work.

Taking them for a walk or run before you leave so they are tired will help. Also play classical music which helps them to relax and will diminish the outside noises. In addition I would leave the drapes pulled, again so they don’t see anything outside and they are more likely to rest in a darken room. I’ve had good luck using a Sonic Egg as a bark deterrent. It can be used inside or outside. When you get back take them for another long walk or run so they don’t get built up energy. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Romeo.
