Hi, I have not been on here for quite a while, since I first got my puppy, Scout. She is an amazing dog, and I am so grateful for all of the puppy advice I was given on this forum.
Well, I am back because I need some more advice. Scout was crate trained and did very well with it. She now has the run of the house while I am gone and has not been in a crate for over a year. Then quarantine happened. It has been a total reversal. She has major separation anxiety now that I am back to work outside of the home. I have a camera that I have used since I got her to monitor her at home and now I just see her at the front door howling and barking for HOURS. I feel terrible! I can’t go back to the crate because she literally has not stepped foot in one in so long. She is not causing any damage in the house, not going to the bathroom where she shouldn’t, etc. She simply barks and howls by the front door and it is not getting any better. Anyone have any suggestions? The advice I got on here before was spot on, so I am really hoping that you all can help again! Thank you!
PS. Scout is my first dog, and so many people told me not to get a Yorkie because they are yappy, hard to potty-train, etc., etc. I am SO GLAD I didn’t listen to them. I will ALWAYS have a Yorkie!
