We have a new rescue dog (part Pit Bull) who is the sweetest ever. He has to stay in a kennel in the house temporarily due to a respiratory infection and he barks all the time to get out. I feel bad for him, but I can't let him out with the other dogs yet. I can't seem to find a method to get him to quit barking and wining. Help!

Try covering his kennel with a blanket. Might make him feel more secure and also less stimulated by what's going on in the room or area where his kennel is.
I don't know the answer, but I would be interested in viewing the feedback. I have two fairly new room mates, and my dog still barks and growls at them.
It occurs to me that it's possible being in the kennel is stressful for him. Perhaps he had a bad experience in a kennel before you rescued him. If possible, try to confine him in a separate room, where he'll have room to move around. Give him a comfy bed, toys and his water and food, and see if he stops barking. Of course, someone should visit with him periodically. Just a thought.
