Home Dog barking

[Honestly]

My 6 month old dog will sometimes bark when were away. Any tips on how to keep him quiet.

My SIL has done the following to help her pups when she's out of the house:
- She leaves music (or sometimes the TV) on to provide some light "background" noise for them. She turns on classical music to calm them.
- She crates the pup that has more anxiety issues; that pup loves her crate... it's like her own little fort.
- She has a basket of toys readily available to the dogs so that they can have some stimulation while SIL is away.
- Occasionally, she leaves them with a rawhide or a chew stick so that they're entertained.

I think the main thing is to make sure the pup feels secure and stimulated. An anxious and/or bored pup equals trouble (as I'm sure you know).
