My mum and stepdad moved into a ground floor flat a few weeks ago with their two dogs.
One of the dogs is fine, no problems but the other one is unfortunately going senile.
He is completely deaf and is losing his marbles, poor old thing.
The problem is his barking. He is starting to bark at his own shadow and anything and everything that moves. If he sees something or even senses something he will start barking and doesn't stop for ages.
If someone is with him they can tap him on the shoulder and he stops but while no one is there, he never shuts up.
The person on the first floor is understandably a little peed off with this and has threatenend to report my mum.
It is a council flat so no secure tenancy for 12 months.
A couple of friends up the road said he was barking for 2 hours yesterday.
They just don't know what to do.
Can anyone help please? We don't want to have to have him put to sleep but can't see any other option at the moment :o(

Vets can often help with drug thereapy for senile dogs - go see your vet :)
