He wandered off to see what my dad was doing in his office, what my mom was doing in the kitchen (and see if he could "puppy dog eye" her into giving him a treat), and then see what my brothers were doing. When satisfied he'd come looking for me and if I wasn't in the house he would pee, or pee soon after I came back. First I want him to be comfortable with them as he will be seeing them often, and from there I'll start incorporating new people.
Oh, we will be going to a meetup this Friday and some other YT members are going too!! |
When you are with the new people or your family have them do the feeding and the petting and the letting in and out.
He needs to learn to trust others so it not only seprataion anixety which is partly over bonding but true over bonding. oh oh not a bad thing if you have a dog with fear concerns at all ever.. so not a critizem.. have I said yet that I still have one at my house. we have worked through her concerns and now can stay with others and feel ok.
Sepration anxiety is being left behind alone. over bondng is painc even when others are around so it a two fold thing not part and parcel as many think.
Blow by blow reports are good.
If he gets to the point he can not eat or is wreaking things you need a someone hands on to help not us as we ca nnot help with drugs and seeing what he is saying in body language either.
