I start work soon... I will be starting work soon and I am very nervous to leave him home alone for a long period of time. He barks when I leave for only a few hours. I have read that yorkies should be left in a small area, but he seems to bark less when I put up the gate to go up the stairs as opposed to blocking off just the kitchen. But, if I let him have the entire downstairs, I am worried he might start chewing on the leather couches, or maybe even pull cords (which he has never done before)! What should I do? I only have one more week before I go back to work and I don't want him starting any bad habits!! |
Is he crate trained? Any time we leave our little ones, they go in their crate. It is a humongous one with food and water.. and a potty area.. but they never use that anymore. There are just too many possible things for an unattended baby to get into... from day 1, when we are gone.. they go into their crate, so that is what they are used to. Others here probably have great ideas for you to use.. |
We've used the crate for long trips and he used to sleep in it, but now he sleeps with me. I've heard all day is too long to leave him in the crate.... |
I would not leave him in the crate all day either.... Leaving him downstairs does not seem like an option right now either... Blocking off the kitchen may be the best place for him. Whatever you decide to do make sure it is the most comfortable, and safeset place for him. :aimeeyork |
I think I might just leave him in the kitchen/dining room area. But, when I leave him with food, water, toys, etc., he still barks! It makes it hard to leave, anything else I can do to make him relax... |
