During the day they're outside with a doggy door through to the garage. When we're home they're let into the house. It never seems as though he's barking to come inside though, only at her. Unfortunately we don't really have the space or means to seperate them.

Please, can anyone help? Like I said it happens when we're out so I don't know how to correct his behaviour. Ive considered keeping them inside during the day to see if that makes a difference?

We have brother and sister Jack Russells who are 4 months old. We're currently having a problem - or more to the point the neighbours are - with the boy - Oscar - barking at his sister Lucy. The most common situation is that Lucy has found a leaf/stone/toy and is laying next to it, keeping it from her brother and he yelps his lungs out. Sometimes she won't even have anything but he'll bark at her for attention. This happens during the day as we both work. We never have a problem when we're home and they don't seem to bark at other dogs, noises or people etc. This makes it hard to correct them or 'ignore' them because he isn't barking for our attention. We try to walk them for 30-40 minutes every morning and play with them at night to tire them out and stimulate them. Can anyone suggest the best course of action here? On the rare occasion it happens while we're home we quickly correct his behaviour but neighbours have made complaints that he goes on during the day. I'm willing to put in the work but I don't know what to do? Thanks for any suggestions.
