Instead of a crate, have you tried xpen? I've seen on some dogs that it makes a difference.
Homeopathic meds... I can't say it worked for Magnus and Zoey won't even go near it. But I can't say it doesn't work for all dogs?
2nd puppy.... I agree with Celstu. It's a 50/50. We got Zoey so Magnus would have a playmate and won't be lonely. And they do play together sometimes. But they're more interested in ME playing with him/her. When no one's home, I think they mostly sleep. Bark by the door if they hear something, etc.. I've set up my laptop to record them one time to see what they do.. LOL
It also depends on how social your pup is... bringing in another pup when she's already stressing and doesn't deal with other dogs well... that'll be even more load on your plate. Also, two dogs = twice the time/energy. And it sounds like you're already straining for time as is.
Have you tried exercising her more? |
