I should have added that she is fine outside, its only inside she ever acts like this. I think it is because she doesnt know where the noises are coming from. If I pull the blinds up, for example, she can see them out the window from her perch on the arm of the chair. I try to keep them open most of the day but it does become a privacy issue.
Jeanie, you always give the most thoughtful and thorough training advice, thank you so much and you as well, Dawn. I'm going to try to work her through this. She's just so silly, getting worked up like this. I wish I could talk to her and reassure her. The crate thing is something I thought about, but wasn't sure if it'd help or hurt. I did consider switching them from potty pads to going outside but I don't know if the poor things could even potty in peace without being rushed by a huge crowd of kids screaming at them. Man, summer break will suck...all the kids will be out of school. We will have to get out of the house even more. |
