I just got home from bragging about how Little Miss Phoebe is almost so good I think there is something wrong with her, to have her acting like a she-devil
of course I had to open my mouth...
In seriousness though, I just spent a few minutes in another room and left her with my bf. She usually sits near the gate that blocks her from the hallway, tonight she was sitting there, but barking like crazy for me. I am worried that with all the closeness during potty training I have her more spoiled than anything? By the way, she is almost 2 weeks accident free and I think she "gets it" finally!
but what about this separation? Two nights ago I left her in the kitchen while I was in another room. She did the same thing, barking for my attention. It was like it was killing her that she knew I was in the house but not right next to her
I really want to be able to block her in a safe place if necessary without her going nuts. The crate is still fine at night if I choose to put her there. Maybe that is the answer, but I would rather she spent as little time in there as possible since she is in there all day. Its also not as if she has to be on my lap or anything (actually the opposite is true). She just wants to know where I am and be near me, but not smothered or held cuddled, which would be nice
I'm curious what everyone thinks about this.
