I need help..Joey problem~

Thank you all.

It does make me feel bad, but I think it is for his best interest. I have to fight the urge to pick him up and tell him it is ok. I want a well rounded dog, not one that is neurotic when I am not holding/spoiling him.

He is in his box ( I use it beside my parents computer while I visit) and I just let him cry for about 45 minutes.. He just stopped, turned around a few times, and fell asleep Must have tired himself out a bit....

Fingers crossed!

Sounds like he would benefit from being crate trained. Having a place where he could be placed alone but still feel safe, i.e. no dreaded cats could get to him. Then you could start leaving him in there for short periods of time. I would think a crate where he could look out would be best. That way he could still see you if you were in the same room and then work toward leaving the room.

A good confidence builder would be a puppy obedience classes.
