How am I supposed to leave puppy?

[Strawberryshortcake40]

Collected puppy on Sat. I've taken two weeks off work and then presumed I could go back after then (2 1/2 hours 2 days a week).

I actually can't see how that can happen.

Ddog is 6 years, she slept in a crate, happily played on her own and was a robust independent thing. She was quite happy to be left for half hour for school run etc right from the beginning. This one is the opposite. She shrieks if I'm out of sight at all, to the point where she is shaking from fear. She can only sleep on me. We've progressed to on my legs, the first few nights she was under my chin sucking my hair! Obviously I'm not crating her and am sleeping on the sofa with her.

But I don't know how I can get her from this stage to content to being alone for a bit? I can just about get her to sleep in her crate for twenty mins or so if I wrap her in my jumper like a burrito!!

Any advice. She's so lovely and I'm so worried about her.

That's the thing if your all baffled by the behaviour. I would want to hear someone say DDog is behaving like x because of y and you need to do z hence thinking a good behaviourst should recognise what is happening and why.

I agree with Bitey a good dog behaviourist will be able to pinpoint older dogs issue and help work around it, as it stands you have 2 dogs that you have to keep separately for fear of the little one getting injured this surely isn't something that can go on for too long it just isn't workable! You need to see someone ASAP and get the issue sorted before it gets out of hand, I think your issue is more the relationship between the 2 dogs rather than anxiety separation of the pup and not being able to leave her, if they're relationship is worked on you wouldn't have the issue of pup being alone.
I also agree that spending so much time with the pup will not help older dog as there maybe jealousy issues. Get professional help, it would worry me greatly if I bought a pup home that was really disliked by a current dog.

I agree re behaviourist. A good one should be able to pinpoint the issue and know how to get around the issue.

I also think the degree to which you are comforting pup could be upsetting older dog. My older dog didn't like new pup initially and got very worked up when I showed pup any attention. The first thing dogs trust dog school suggested was making sure older dog got extra attention and that older dog needed to be given time to be completely free to roam normal areas and pup shut away for parts of the day (when pup tired and likely to sleep anyway), to allow that. It worked and they were best buds with a couple of days.
