nonstop crying at night!

[WELOVESPUPPIES]

Well, as CIAO stated, the bedroom is too small and he/she is going back to school in a month. What then?!?!?!?!

Let the pup get used to spending the night with them and then suddenly, they are off back to school and she's left all alone again and totally not used to spending the night alone.

Funny how he commented so much about dogs with seperation anxiety sleeping in the bedroom with their owners.

Understandable if the bedroom is too small, but the pup would only need a small crate, what could it weigh at 4 months 5-6 pounds.

I never got the impression d_ciao was going away to school, just back to school. d_ciao, are you going to college where you are leaving the home?

It is funny how one of the comments was "does your dog follow you room to room" when I have read on several threads on this site and others about people being told to teather their new puppy to them while in the house so they know they are not getting into things and so they know when the pup has to go to the bathroom. That is teaching a dog to follow you throughout the house. So you see there are many methods out there to get your pup to be the dog you want it to be, it just has to work for the family owning the pet. And yes we will sometimes disagree on that method but everyone on this site is entitled to their own opinion on things, that does not make one right and one wrong. What works for one home and their pets may not work for someone else. I am just explaining what WORKED FOR OUR HOUSEHOLD. Does it make it the right thing? Maybe not, but I am not going to sit here and be told that my dogs should not sleep in my room because I am going to create seperation anxiety. Duke has been raised this way since the day he came home(almost seven years ago). All my life our dogs have slept in someones room and we have never experienced a dog with seperation anxiety. Were we just lucky? Maybe. But three out of three here and absolutely no problems.

d-ciao, whatever you chose to do is something that has to work for all of you in your household, puppy included. I know there is a PTer on here, petpsychologist, who always offers good advise and maybe other solutions than what have been brought up here. Good luck.
