help...separation anxiety
Hi all!
I'm new to this group but I would like some ideas and information on separation anxiety. I bought a standard poodle puppy, 3 mos. old, a week ago. She weighs about 30 lbs so she isn't a small puppy. She'll sleep in bed with us without needing to go out, from about 10 pm to 6:30 am. She follows me all around the house. She gets upset when I take a shower. She won't stay out to go potty unless I'm with her...or my husband. If we leave her for a few hours she defacates and urinates all over the place. She even did it in her crate. She cries if I leave her in the car for a few minutes! My husband and I love her dearly. I can't believe how much since we have only had her a week. I have a month to make up my mind. If it doesn't work out I can take her back and get my money back. But I really don't want to do that. Can I break her of this? My husband and I work so she's alone for three hours, two days a week. Plus, how can I housebreak her when she is too afraid to go to the door on her own. I put her food in an area where she can't see me and she takes a few bites and then runs to find me. I would appreciate any ideas and thoughts on the matter. thank you sharon |
