Ditto on the trainer but, moving to NYC, you may not be in a place financially to do that as everything here is crazy expensive.

I've got two apartment pups and have had some success with the following tips from a trainer that we saw a couple of times:

  • Change up your homecoming/leaving routine. Don't greet at the door. Excitement triggers for her are the same as anxiety triggers, so you need to help her disassociate the door as something remarkable. When you enter, ignore her and walk into the kitchen, bedroom, etc. Once there, get her to sit or at least stop jumping up on you until she's calmed down a bit. Then give her treats, hugs, kisses, whatevs. In her tiny dog brain, this translates to: "The door is boring, 30 seconds after the door, when I'm pretending to be calm in the kitchen is awesome. Yay, treats!" Do something similar when you are leaving.
  • She may be freaking out because of all the loud, new noises as well. To mitigate, try playing an approximation of city noises while she's eating and or cuddling with you; there are apps for this. The basic idea is that she is being acclimated to something scary while she's doing something comforting.
  • Calming dog collars work pretty well. This one is all natural, its basically just potpourri so it'll make your little one smell better, and will last many months (keep it in a ziploc when she's not wearing it).

    And finally, try not to worry about it too much. Dogs exist as pets pretty much solely because they are fantastic at reading/mimicing human emotions. If her barking stresses you out, it will stress her out more and that feedback loop aint great. There are about a million small yappy dogs in NYC and if you are in a pet-friendly building, people are probably more acclimated to it than you think. If you see people in the halls, apologize for the noise and say something like "she's still getting acclimated, but we're working on it." That ought to be sufficient.

    Good Luck!
