We have 2 X 12 years old dogs. They are usually very calm and quiet. We take them out for pee and poo 3 times a day (before work, after work, before sleep). They don't bark at all when someone is home.
But when we are not home, they would bark at the door or make noise (so the neighbor and janitor of the apartment claimed). We don't leave them un-attended more than 1 hour per day. Because I leave for work at 9am and my brother comes home at 10am after his night shift, there is really not much time gap for them to bark. I am not sure if it's simply a false accusation, but my janitor told me that I have 2 large dogs(golden retriever mix and colley mix), their bark have to be very loud. I know that my dogs are calm that they don't even bark at noise. If no one agitate them, they don't usually bark. For example, if someone is banging at the door, my dogs will bark because they think that someone is trying to invade the apartment.
We were living in a cottage outside of the city. Because of personal reasons, I need to temporarily live in a small apartment for 3 months. Now my janitor told me if my dogs don't stop barking/making noises, she will report to police and ask me to leave the apartment or give up the dogs.
My only problem is my dogs don't bark when one of us is with them. How do I train them not to bark?
