Hi all
posted on this before but feel not getting anywhere (thanks to those who gave advice though) hence the above.
4/5 month old pup is really contrary about being left. For example I left him today (ie left the house for 20-50 mins) 4 times. All in the same manner (no fuss, all his needs met, TV on etc).
3 times he pretty much snoozed through and didn't give a damn The other time he got really distressed, barking, pacing, scrabbling etc (I have webcam signal doesn't always work but he def did this for the last 20 mins). When I arrived back I tried to play down his over enthusiastic greeting before he then passed out asleep
The issue is I never know how he will be or why it varies ie stressed or chilled mode.
The only comments I can make is that I do know that if I left him for over an hour I think I will always move from chilled to stressed mode. The other thing is I think his stressed mode is getting worse.
On the other hand last week he would get stressed if I left him during school drop off, now this is one time he seems to always be chilled about. So on one hand real progress, on the other - real stress
All other aspects (eg being left with others, being left if we are in the house etc) hes totally fine with although again the latter again he has relaxed over the last month he used to whine if I left the room
So.… carry on as we are and he'll gradually relax or get support quick before anxiety gets engrained???? I change my mind every 2 mins!!
The only other thing I haven't tried is one of those plug in hormone things - anyone had any luck with this?
Thanks as always
