Your dog is 4 years old and is accustomed to having human companionship. Dogs are social animals. They do not do well alone. You are leaving this poor soul alone for at least 12 hours a day and I am assuming she is in this dark closet with a gate all that time....alone. How would you like it? A dog is a thinking, feeling creature. Dogs love their people.
You have turned her world upside down. Your work and your BF are the most important things in your life. That is your choice. But the dog was not in on your choices. She is now a prisoner for the major part of her life. You give her a few short minutes of freedom and then expect her to go to her cave. You wonder why she is sad and confused?
If this is all you have to offer this dog then please consider contacting a Yorkie rescue and letting them re home the poor baby. You have nothing to offer the dog. She wants love and companionship and you have neither to offer her. You stated the facts. No one can help you get this dog to accept this kind of a life. |
