Definitely don't be afraid to leave her to go shopping or just go out. Its good for her. She needs to sleep a lot anyway, stick her in her crate or in her room and let her rest while you are gone. I love taking my puppy with me places, but I only take her to places I know dogs are allowed. I'm not one to sneak her in places she's not supposed to be. If I'm going someplace she's not allowed she goes in her crate. And she loves it. She gets a nice nap, stays out of trouble, and is ready to play when I get home. She's used to me leaving her at home alone so there's no separation anxiety when I have to leave her at home or leave her with my mom. |
