We've had our puppy 6 days now and she is happy sleeping in a crate in our bedroom. During the day she never chooses to go in her crate downstairs and if we try to leave her in the kicthen, even if we are only in the living room, she whines and barks constantly. We've got a plug in DAP diffuser and I know it's only been 6 days but we HAVE to be able to pop out now and then but if she going to bark constantly then how can we ever leave her?
I know we're supposed to get her used to being apart from us in small stages but she literally can't cope with being left for 30 seconds and we have neighbours! Advice is to ignore the noise but what if it NEVER stops, is there a cut off at which you should go back in and calm her down as she gets in a right state. At the moment we're tyring to get her used to simply being in the kitchen with a baby gate keeping her in. We don't put her in the crate as she's even more distressed if we do that.
If you're worried about your pet's health, please speak to a vet or qualified professional.
