Try not to get overwhelmed. When I first got Keoki at 6 months old he would panic and freak out when I left. There is an adjustment period that dogs got through when you first get them ( Keoki was 6 months old). I cried the first week thinking I would never be able to leave him and the Cesar Milan saying is great and all but when you are in love with your baby it's hard not to shower them with love when you walk in the door. I do alot that Cesar says but could never do that one- it's usually a party when I walk in the door. That being said once this rescue starts to feel safe and know that you will leave and come back he will start getting better and better- he just has to be comfortable in the space and with you- it's all a matter of time. Also try and take him on a long walk in the morning before you leave if you can to tire him out and if you have to crate train eventually that's what you might have to do for a while. Don't be discouraged- you two are just figuring each other out right now and this little baby has probably been left, etc. Like i said my first week with Keoki was an adjustment period and now he is a dream. I know everything is going to be alright. There is also rescue remedy for pets that is herbal - it's supposed to calm them down- i have never tried it but my vet recommends it. Please keep us posted and let us know how everything is going. |
