Just an update. This morning they did not eat and Boomer had very loose stool. I have not given them any treats today. We went on a 7 mile walk and played in the Park because it is a glorious day out.
I stopped at Petco and asked the trainer about their diet and seperation anxiety. She gave me some great suggestions similar to all of you who have posted on my other post.
She concurred to change the food and suggested the Lamb and Brown Rice since the fish is said to be smelly. There have been no farts today. I bought yogurt to also give them.
I signed them up for a 12 week training course at Petco. It is to help me learn how to correct their behavior and work with them on their issues. The trainer was very nice and the dogs went right to her.
They were so exhausted after their walk they went right to their crate I covered it and they have been in there with only a little barking. I hope tonight is the same. I need some sleep. They woke me up at 1 am last night.
Tomorrow I am back at work full time and pray everything goes ok. I think I have just as much anxiety leaving them crated all day as they do. I so wanted them to have more of a confined open space to roam. Hopefully after the training course I we can learn and give them more room to roam. |
