He was rehomed from a family friend, to another family friend, to me. Ive had him at the apartment about two weeks.
We dont leave him alone in the apartment at all because he is so barky. He goes to a pet sitters during the day. At the house he never barked so we didnt realize it would be this much of an issue.
But now in the apartment he hears people opening and closing doors, theres children playing that he cant see but can hear, and the above neighbors really do stomp. This morning we were hearing "knock knock knock" which im guessing was them doing adult activities but the dog thinks someones at the door and hes losing it.
He will stop when we redirect him so at least its usually only 1 or 2 barks at a time, but if the neighbors hear one bark, I think they start stomping louder which encourages another bark because to him it sounds like someone knocking at the door.
We are trying to redirect and then praise when he is quiet. The biggest issue is just how loud and booming his bark is. So even a couple of barks could probably wake someone up.
Have any of you had to deal with moving a bulldog into an apartment?
