BAHAHAHA you know what, that sounds right.

It doesn't seem to relate to me leaving. I leave the door open when I pee (lol) so she can see me and she stands in the doorway barking at me. With food she barks at me until I put it down and then she's busy eating. What is funny is that when I am actually leaving, she doesn't bark! Last...

I tried to follow everyone's advice and now I don't know what to do. She's barking when I put her food down, when we're walking out the door, when I go to the bathroom, she even barks at my plate when we're eating dinner. My dog sitter told me she's barking during the day too. Last night she...

Thank you for your input!

So I just let her out when she barks? Just try to shoo her towards her puppy pad when she's starting to squat?

I was under the impression while potty training they need to be kept in a small area to prevent accidents. I lock her up in the pen for 15 minutes at a time to pee and poop. Once she's done pottying, she gets to come right back out and spend time with us. The moment she pees she gets a click and...

My pup came home on Purina puppy chow, I'm looking for a new option too. I work in the corporate office of a natural foods store and the brand we tout is I and Love and You. I may try that

We are definitely struggling with separation anxiety! She's starting to bark when not paid attention to, and I don't know what to do! Even if she's out of her pen and cruising around, if I'm in the kitchen she starts to whine and do the shrill bark

Welcome, from Colorado! We'd love to see your doggies!

thank you for your kind words!

Also MORE questions! We both work full days so she'll be kenneled for a few hours, then my friend will come to let her out, she'll be kenneled again for like 2 hours until I get home and then free for the rest of the day. Any advice on crying? She cries when we're out of sight, if she is in her...
