Here is my experience:
No, it will not help too much, but it will lessen YOUR guilt.
I have 2 boys. They both had seperation anxiety when they were younger... they are not so bad anymore, but I had 2 of them barking when I was not home, enough to get me written up with my condo association 2x! They both chewed everything they could and they both won't housebreak! It has been a long, hard road for me.
However, they are 2 now, the seperation anxiety has passed pretty much, but now I have two attention mongers who are jealous of each other and anything else I touch if its not them. Sometimes I wish I only had 1 pup, but I could never EVER give one up and I love them both sooo much, but be prepared for a HANDFUL.
Now that is just MY experience... Im sure not all pups are the same and some will say getting a 2nd made all the difference in the world. The only thing it did for me was alleviate my guilt for leaving one alone while Im at work and giving me 2 little warm bodies to love (which I do love them both to pieces) but it DEFINATELY doubled (maybe tripled) the work for me!
