haha, parrot and anxious yorkie? Yes...that will be an adventure for you
I try with the short trips, and today I got to the point that I could leave for a whole 30 seconds without him barking! I'm just gonna have to do this every day for a LONG time I bet...hopefully soon he will realize that he's not being abandoned. Actually, I'm hoping to turn it into a game. I think I need to find a different treat, though, because the cookies I was using today just weren't tempting enough. He was so upset the first 20 tries that he wouldn't even take the cookie till he thought for sure I was coming all the way in the house. Poor guy...I need to get him figured out and helped!
