Separation Anxiety?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

frodo1 · 04-12-2008, 10:18 AM

I notice my little wee one is pretty quiet if someone rings the bell or comes in and I was so glad because my hubby and I did not want a barky barky dog, but now I've noticed that she is incesant with barking whenever I leave the room and she can't get to me.

Like if I leave her in the playpen or crate for a short short time, she loses her mind. I mean she has to be exhausted not to bark if I leave the room and she can't get where Ive gone.

She is about 13/14 weeks old, so how do I begin to correct this so it doesn't become a habit?

Thanks friends

You and I seem like we're in the same boat except mine has become a habit with our 4....I hope someone gives us some feedback...Good luck

ignore them. only go back to them once they are quiet. if you go to them while they are barking they will be reinforced for their bad behavior.

My 5yr old has that exact same problem, barking when I leave the house, he taught the baby to do it also.

HELP!!!
