My little guy would cry and whine when I went out of his sight, even behind the shower curtain. He eventually got over it, but it took awhile. Pups that age need to know you are there. Over time you can use a crate, we're working on that now, and you can crate your dog and walk away without problems. Still, you can't expect to leave a pup alone for long periods. Ruger has been crated overnight now with no problems, but I try and keep crating during the day to two hours max. Fortunately my job allows me to do this. |
