Our dog is constantly barking non stop

She could be in pain, have you checked with the Vet?

Just sounds like your dog has never been socialised, do they get taken for a walk?

Shes barking because you have moved her out of her house, I would imagine.

Has it been barking for 11 years then?

Are you a dog person OP?

As in do you give a damn about the dog? It doesn't sound like you do.

Bring your dog to a vet for a checkup, could be something wrong that you don't see.

Other things? The dog is 11… assuming you have it 11 years - the barking is a new thing… So, do what a responsible dog owner would do - take it to a vet to check if it has an underlying issue. Or try it back in the house for a night or two to rule out a vet visit.

I never understood people getting dogs just to leave them outside with a kennel, run, food and water.

I really pity your neighbours.

If she lived indoors for 9 years and then you moved her outside, that is probably why she is barking. Why did ye move her?

Shih Tzu x Bischon. Both breeds that need company and engagement.

The dog is miserable and has a miserable life in a dog run and kennel. Dog deserves better.

Rehome the dog and focus on your health.

i won’t comment on the “bark collar”

why have you got the dog ?

I have one of these, Shitzu/Bichon, gorgeous dog very friendly, loyal, compassionate, loves people and company. They are very determined and persistent, dogs that know what they want, will take you for a walk were they decide which way to go.

Mine gets very excited when he meets people he knows and starts singing in a doggy way. I'm his third home and have him 7 years. He came with a reputation for barking a lot. I realised he was nervous and needed a lot of reassurance to give him confidence that things were ok, which took a while. After this his trust built and he quietened down. He still barks to defend the house at the arrival of visitors, newspapers, post, cats, birds or anybody in his garden for that matter while I'm in the house, silent when he's home alone. Loves to lie in a sunny spot anytime, outside only works when it is warm.

They have a variety of barks to suit the occasion. When he needs out he'll give a particular bark on repeat until he gets out. The same when he wants back in, constant non stop asking to come back in, in a polite sort of way, not aggressive.

This is were your dog's problem lies. As a breed they are house dogs, they live with the people they love in their home. She has been kicked out after nine years inside and does not understand what is going on and just wants back into her home. She needs walking, 40 - 60 minutes in the morning and 15 - 20 in the afternoon, confined to a garden does not give her that. Then she'll sleep for most of the day.

I appreciate that you have health issues and wish you well, but the dog needs care too. If you really feel that you can't give her the life that she needs then I'm sorry to suggest that you must let somebody else it give to her for your and your family's sake. Leaving this poor dog outside is just cruel to both her and you.

Have you tried walking the dog. A dog run and a kennel is a miserable existence.

You're not in a position to bring the dog on a walk every day or give it the attention it needs.

Seriously need to rehome it at this stage. The barking is driving you mad and the loneliness is driving the dog mad. Everyone loses.
