My dog barks constantly and licks urine. How can I stop him?

Hi there In my last question I mentioned that my dog consistently barks. We are travelling and live in a tent so it's hard to do what you would normally in a house. I don't know what else to do its so stressful. Also he sees another dog urinate and he can't help to lick it up. It's gross and embarrassing help

What a cute boy! You can use a Sonic Egg to control the barking. It is made by Sunbeam and is a portable battery operated bark deterrent. Your male dog is just coming into his hormones so he’s extra interested in other dogs when they mark. You can keep him on a leash, or you may want to consider neuteringhim to reduce the male dog behavior. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Mack.
