I have a 7 month old pit/pyreneese mix named Jack. He is so incredibly playful and his energy seems limitless. Being part pyreenese he has grown quite big for a pup. So has his bombastic bark. Following the advice I have read, I've been trying to ignore him when he barks in protest or for attention. The problem I'm having is that I live in an apartment complex. Jack has a really deep and loud bark and can be very persistent. I have let him bark for almost 10 minutes straight before I give in out of anxiety over whether or not it is bothering the neighbors. My girlfriend and I just moved into a new place, and I want Jack to start off on the right paw. We play with him a lot and he always gets his daily walks, but if we are not engaging with him for even a short amount of time, (ie eating, talking on the phone, etc) he barks, and barks. I would greatly appreciate some advise, I don't think the ignoring method is going to work unless I modify it somehow.
