[quote=Anonymous]A dog should be muzzled all day... They can over heat.

Get one of the remote bark trainers. If he starts to bark, it will emit an irritating sound. The only problem is that your dog will also be subjected and may not understand why he's being punished for doing nothing, I'd separate them as much as possible.

Don't give him free range. He will be fine in an ex pen or similar for a few days if he cannot be trusted, giving breaks outside to run of energy. A dog who cannot be trusted around the house should not have access to the house. It's the same principle with puppies and rescue dogs. He gets contained to an area he can't do damage until he proves himself trustworthy. Laundry room, bathroom, where ever it's easier for you to clean.

If you're going to be taking him six weeks at a time, it may be time to get him into a training class. Even at your cost, it's a way of establishing a pack relationship with the dog and may make life more pleasant. I know of many small dog owners who neglect treating their dogs like dogs because they're so small and cute. When we did training, level 1 was a mix of dogs. By the final level (6) it was all big dogs except for one. [/quote]
