We just got a new puppy, he is almost 10 weeks old now. he is doing very well at walking on a lieche, learning to sit, come (haven't tried stay yet),he is great with other people ETC.
The one problem he has really bad is Separation anxiety. The first few days we got him he would whine even when eating, and playing.
he is always at your feet or following you where ever you go.
Now he wines when ever he is alone for more then 1-2minutes. He will start barking, crying etc. We are trying to crate train him and he will wine on and off the entire time is in tin the crate, same thing if we put him outside and we're not around him.
The only time he is in the crate for a long period of time is over night and while we are at work. the longest he is in there with out a pee/ po brake is 3hrs. he is doing pretty good with not going in his crate or in the house (accidents still happen).
We were told to just let him cry it out which we are doing, we never go to him until he has settled down and quiet for at least 1min.
The question is, is this normal? It's been almost 2 weeks of letting him cry it out and he doesn't seem to be improving.
Thanks.
