 Is there any value to pre-training them to sleep alone?
I think I posted before that I'm accustomed to getting calls and emails within days of people taking my puppies home telling me how wonderfully well things are going and expressing surprise that there was no crying in the night at all. Can anyone offer insight on how a puppy would develop this separation anxiety and how to avoid it? Do any breeders separate their puppies prior to placing them in new homes? While I'll never be able to turn my back on my own puppy should it be unwanted by its new owner, I would like to minimize the incidence of these returns that in themselves must be very upsetting to the puppies. Thanks again. |
