Time for a crate or kennel break. A vigorous walk gets them worn enough to nap.
Exercise the dog. Yup, when they get plenty of exercise, mixed with some good, loving attention, they will settle down nicely for a nap.
Get him outside and running around for a bit, with plenty of petting breaks, and then inside with a nice chew toy on his favorite bed while you get back to work.
Close your door to keep the dog out, put the dog outside, or in a kennel. Just get a ittle corner and make a wall to bloke it up then pu the dog in it.
get it another companion.. like another small dog... give it curious toys to play with.. switch on tv for it...give it a ball on a slippery floor
Hi,
If your dog is a high energy breed like a Collie, German Shepherd and so on. Make sure they are not only getting enough exercise, but that you are stimulating them mentally as well, bored dogs can be very destructive and attention seeking - playing 'hide-and-go-seek' in the house is a favourite. Sounds daft, but dogs love it. If they are just looking for attention/or trying to be dominant, after they have had their exercise and play time, then you have to ignore them and this behaviour. They will finally get the message and go and lie down. You will need to repeat this maybe for a few days. If they try to nudge you or sit beside you be gentle but firm and say 'No' and block them with an arm or leg wi but don't give them eye contact. Repeat your actions constantly, whenever you have to, until your dog learns that he/she will get attention when you are ready, not when they demand your time. Hope this helps.

Before you got your dog, did you worry about leaving them home alone?Do your dogs have trouble being by themselves all day? What about puppies? Do they need constant attention while they are still babies, or can you leave them alone all day while you have to work?
