Separation Anxiety Hey YTers Will puppy number 2 help with separatioin anxiety of my current puppy or will I have a double wammie:eek: |
I don't know for sure, but i've heard that it helps... i only got one Yorkie, and she's so spoiled i don't think it would work for her, but if yours is good with other doggies it should help, they'll keep each other entertained... Nikki&Belle |

Well doggie number one is a puppy still just at 5 months and he owns my shadow but knows I am head dog, just praying it helps. Today I wanted to run away and go in the city just a bit which is not far from me to grab some pants and boots. Damned if he will let me, one set of bawling:mad: Right now he is at my feet covered in my husbands wool sweater LOL only head showing and he just loves it so while he naps LOL. I think we make this this way dont we? |
ya never know, my yorkie freaks when i leave and she has sisters to keep her company. she is a very needy baby thats for sure lol. i love it but i think i have to work on leaving more because she is so dependant on me. |
I would give them each a super delicious treat only when you leave so they look forward to you leaving. When you come in don't make a fuss but after 10 min. or so hug them and play with them. It worked for me. |
Some dogs are just needy... it's cute but can become into a big problem. I think you should try to work with this puppy first and then later get another one. |
I give my puppy a treat each time I leave. He use to cry really bad, but now hes getting use to mommy being gone sometimes. When I'm at home hes still stuck to me like glue. Lol. Hopefully, when I get another Yorkie, they both will keep each other company. |

Glue is joke here. It is cute really, but can be annoying. I have tried the treats. The problem is that I am home 24/7 with him, he sees me and me alone, the rest comes back 7pm or so. Now he is making a stink when I come back and wines when I leave. I dont know for fact that he is bawling the entire time. he may be wining quetly or sleeping. But treats dont seem to work. He attributes the yummies I leave as mommy is going someplace and I am not going with her.:cool: To the other poster above, if I dont get a puppy now, this breed I have will not tolerate a new puppy very well in my home. Its now or never. Breeder also recommends this strongly at this time. Also I want a yorkie baby:D My baby now is a sweet boy, very sweet, not very needy, just wants to see me at all points and times:eek: . Even bathing he tries to peep over the tub, hahahah, too small cant reach only ears at tipping up there:D I will try the treats again. Can you recommend something homemade maybe? The only thing I can see him going nuts for is a slab of raw green tripe:eek: |
prolly help id imagine. |
We got another dog shortly after getting Jack, partially because my boyfriend really wanted his own dog and partially because we thought it would help Jack with his separation anxiety. It is a lot of work having two puppies but I feel better knowing he has a playmate and a cuddle buddy. |
I was just discussing this with my trainer. There is a difference between a temper tantrum and separation anxiety. Anxiety is more panting, pacing, etc. Your pup may have just learned that screaming gets your attention and gets him what he wants! |

He does this bit when I return, the hyteria not when I am leaving, and I totally ignore it for about 5 minutes |

But to answer your question, a 2nd dog won't fix problems with the first dog. My suggestion is to get one trained and then get another. Sammy has been GREAT for Loki, but Loki was already well trained. They are good playmates and wrestle a lot so they wear each other out. I'm glad I have two. I just can't imagine having two and trying to train two!! |
Hmmm I'm not sure :confused: The reason I say this is because my Tatum DEFINITELY has separation anxiety. If I am gone for too long (even when her daddy is here with her :eek:) - she will start chewing the carpet that leads to the entry way (which is right by the door where I walk out, and she knows this). She just DOES NOT like mommy to leave her AT-ALL. She will also lay there right by the door and cry, cry, cry like a little baby wondering where her mommy went :cry: My poor little girl! She is just so sweet though - I love her sooooo MUCH :hug: |

Awww poor baby! When I first got Jamie he cried everytime I walked out of the room and I was DEVASTATED. As soon as I got out the door I started crying, BUT persistance paid off. Everytime I leave the house I pick Jamie up and give him cuddles and say "Mom's gotta go now. I'll be back in a little bit." or "Time for work, Mom will see you at lunch." That way he knows that I am leaving but I will DEFINITELY be back. However, since Jamie and I have such a strict routine if I am even just hour an hour late getting home from work he has destroyed his playpen and won't have anything to do with me for hours. Non dog/Yorkie people don't believe me but I swear it is just like having a baby. |

LOL Now this one has not gone to that extreme cuz I contain him in his little room which is bright, cheerful and has all the things he needs and more, including music to drown his crying. I honestly think he stops once he realizes I am not at the door, then proceeds to get on bad when he hears me coming.. I dont thik I wan to attempt the mommy is leaving, I am afraid to do this for the simple reason he will be peeoed at me when I come back and wont speak to me for hours. |
i know when i leave lacey scream cries for a long time then she quiets down, when i get bk she wont leave my lap and shakes and wimpers and moans for days. we got bk from vacation on thurs. and she is still being a freak. i feel just horrable now. and now if i am gone for a half hour she is getting worse. |
Quote:
Lordie do. Well I will take mine on vacation even if it is overseas, I have already checked into that. I wont leave them ever alone or kennel them. My husbands ex wife will also take care of them should I have to go hospital or something like that,or my mom in law. But I will never leave them totally alone, I will die before they do LOL |
she was left here with my son who still lives with us and my daughter and friend also came over to play with the dogs. no way would i ever leave them with someone who they dont love and know. at my house there is 99% of the time someone here she just cant handle it when i leave her. the only reason we left her at home this time is we dive almost every day all day when we go to the keys, plus its not really a place where i would want her to go. |

No, it will not help too much, but it will lessen YOUR guilt. :) I have 2 boys. They both had seperation anxiety when they were younger... they are not so bad anymore, but I had 2 of them barking when I was not home, enough to get me written up with my condo association 2x! They both chewed everything they could and they both won't housebreak! It has been a long, hard road for me. However, they are 2 now, the seperation anxiety has passed pretty much, but now I have two attention mongers who are jealous of each other and anything else I touch if its not them. Sometimes I wish I only had 1 pup, but I could never EVER give one up and I love them both sooo much, but be prepared for a HANDFUL. Now that is just MY experience... Im sure not all pups are the same and some will say getting a 2nd made all the difference in the world. The only thing it did for me was alleviate my guilt for leaving one alone while Im at work and giving me 2 little warm bodies to love (which I do love them both to pieces) but it DEFINATELY doubled (maybe tripled) the work for me! :D :rolleyes: |
