Lottie seems to be suffering with this... badly!!
Last night she cried and chewed and barked and scratched and wrecked until 3am, she just seems to hate being left alone. She is as good as gold when we are about but when we went to bed oh my goodness she was not a happy girl. It happened again at 2pm this afternoon when i popped to the hospital for 35 mins. She trashed the place, chewed, emptied water everywhere and weed and pooed for britain, it took me 45 mins to clear it up.
We have now got a crate and are going to make it into a 'snug' for her to make her feel more secure, and leave the radio on tonight but does anyone have any other tips or has anyone had this, i completely understand WHY it happens and sympathise with her, but we do not feel that letting her sleep on our bed is the answer as this wont help during the day when we need to go shopping or pop out.
Anyone know how long this sort of thing can take to get better. 3 hours of sleep have left me shattered........ :blink:
Also she wont wee in the garden for on walks so how on earth do we begin to house train her? I get the whole praise like mad thing when they go outside but we have yet to get her to go anywhere except on the carpet. :wacko:
This new dog stuff sure is complicated...... :sweating:
Any advice greatfully received.......
