Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 2 years old | 30 lbs
I adopted a medium mixed dog yesterday. He was neutered the day before. The humane society's record showed he was crate trained. He barks almost constantly when in his crate, except the first few minutes when he's working on his peanut butter Kong. I walk him before crating and he urinates and sometimes has a BM during the walk. If I can't get this addressed, I may have to return him. Please help!

Be patient with Dobbie. He's just moved into a new home, and that is stressful. You can get a pheromone diffuser called DAP that helps dogs with anxiety and pair that with a DAP pheromone collar that releases pheromones when in contact with his skin. I hope this helps!
