My maltese did the same thing. I should have nipped it in the bud but I didn't. The resulst were that my malt became very depreessed when I would leave for work and he suffered with seperation anxiety. He would lay on the couch until I came home. Even if my husband was home for the day, Bentley would stay on the couch looking at the door for me to come home. My husband would pick him and carry him outside to potty but Bentley wouldn't potty, he just kind of paniced and would want in so he could run back to the couch. I should have forseen what the results would be but didn't. If I had it to do over again I would have my husband feed him, walk him and paly with him more.
