Well I may have to resort to the pads. The trainer has worked with al ot of small dogs but I think her mistake was not giving her the reality of being in her home.
The ONLY reason I would find a new home for her is mainly the stress it is causing amongst the entire family. We have an extremely active life with 2 boys 9 and 12 both play soccer and I am at one of their field 5 days a week and then you add a husband that travels and another dog and 2 cats and wow its a zoo here! So the anxiety level is high. Chloe is next to me now and my husband just walked in and said to my son and I sleep in in the AM (the boys have a teacher wk. day tomorrow) and I laughed and said yeah good luck as I am up at 6:30 AM regardless with Chloe. Even if i thought I could go back to sleep (which I cant I am just that kind of person) she'll bark. This is what I mean with us living around a dog...its just to much for all of us. That is why I am trying to find any and all solutions b-c I love her. But we are all stressed to the max. |
