Ideas: leave the crate inside the pen with him with a treat and toy, and leave some relaxing music on for him...another option would be to set up a mirror for him to look at just outside the gate.
Dogs like dens so having a crate in the pen should help. Leave the door off or propped open so it doesn't close on him. Yorkies are known to have terrible separation anxiety. Yesterday, I had to leave Pooky in the car while we ate lunch. The windows and sunroof were open, we were parked in the shade, temp comfortable and I could see the car...only 20 feet away. The restaurant would not allow dogs. He was really good, but then he'd start crying and shaking the car enough to set off the alarm! Car is super sensitive to any slight motion and had to keep my hand on the alarm. Car kept locking the doors after a few moments. Anyway, he survived and I know your little one will too. Mine is 13 weeks today. |
