... just get another mayonnaise jar, smear some inside so she can smell it, put the top on and let her go to it!! Hours of entertainment.
My mom has a dog that freaks out when she is out of his eyesight. So when she has to go to town to the doctor or something, we give him a Kong, with peanut butter, put him in the crate (mom has him kind of crate trained). This gets me around 20 minutes of silence before he notices that she is gone and he starts barking and whining. Non-stop.
Sadly, then, either I have to turn into Ultra Bitch and Scream at him to Shut Up with the barking (which is not good for me, or him. It does work though)... the next alternative is to get this barking collar (not the electric jolt kind, it just beeps and vibrates when he barks). So that quiets him.
I let him out of the cage, cuz I hate those things. I make sure he goes outside to do his duty. I put the diaper wrap back on to keep that pecker blocked off.
Then I go back to my own realm. He is quiet...
But he is a bastard, and refuses to be house trained. Oh, he is smart enough, but there is something off with him. He is a rescue. Mom could not abide him pissing in the house, so she puts this diaper wrap thing around him (guess who gets to do the laundry?). Gah! It has stopped the piss in the house issue. But when he is out of the crate, by himself (upstairs), he will still poo.
How did my rambling get here? Oh! Keep dog busy for a while with Mayo Jar. Or even better, newly empty peanut butter jar. With Lid on (a little loose)
