My basset is about 6 months old and I am going back to work full time. To prepare him, I’ve been trying to leave him alone a few minutes each day, but he instantly starts ripping down my front window blinds to see out the window and howls like a maniac. I have tried “calming chews” with minimal (if any) success. He never used to be destructive like this, it only just started. I am in an apartment and have already gotten noise complaints and am at risk of being evicted. Any advice? I am thinking of crating him but I don’t love that he’d be in there for 8+ hours a day. That also likely wouldn’t solve his barking issue.
