do u think i should get another dog?

[poochie]

My dog Poley is a Golden Cocker Spaniel and he iz 5 yrs old. He howels alot when we rnt home and the neighbours have complined a few times. Sometimes i have to sneak out of the house so that he doesnt see me and so he doesnt howel the whole time. Do u think if we got another dog he would behave and wouldnt make so much noise? What do u guyz think? Plz help

Actually, that's a good idea. Cockers - like most dogs - like company. In the meantime, you could try leaving a radio on while you're gone, or some kind of soothing CD.

Another idea to try is to get a toy, like a puzzle ball or a Kong, that Poley only gets to play with when you're gone, so that it's a special treat and keeps him occupied.

Let us know how he does.
