Hi, I am new here and hoping someone can help me. I am confused as to why my son's basset is behaving this way.
We brought DJ home when he was 6 weeks old May 2010. The past 3 months he prefers being in his crate. At first we thought it was due to the sun being overhead making him hot. So, we would place him in his crate until the sun went down around 6. BUT now he barks when he is out anytime. NON-stop barking. I have tried loud noises to stop the behavior which didn't work. He only stops if placed back in his crate.
Why this behavior? I though a hound would love to be outside chasing things. I feel sorry for him. He only wants to be in the crate. Any ideas, as well, to change this behavior?
Thanks.
OH, he is a very outgoing loving dog. He isn't shy or timid and behaves around children. That's why I am confused. He's a good dog-loving and sweet.
