I think you will need to find a happy medium. Puppies need love, play and attention but puppies need to learn that they will be alone sometimes. They will be without you and its okay. Puppies should learn to entertain themselves. All dogs suffer from separation anxiety at some time. I went to Florida on a conference and left my bichon with my mom. My bichon refused to eat the first days but when hunger kicked in , then she ate. I agree we love our pets but they are not our children. |
