Hi there,

She is confined to my bathroom which I have to say is not terribly big. I leave her there about 10 hours for work.

What kind of toys would you recommend? I have tried numerous, but every time I leave the house, she starts barking and does not pay any attention to the toy. Same as food, I have to be there to watch her eat.

This only happens when I am away......

This is really normal puppy behavior. I would make sure that the area can be cleaned easily. I would also look at how long the pup is left alone during the day. Maybe a puppy sitter would help.

If it's happening while you're home, my best advice is to wear her little butt out by taking walks and playing. Just play and play and play. Also, change the pad every time she goes on it and then praise her and distract her from it by playing with her.

Good luck!
