Hi, I am new to this site so hopefully I can do this right.. We have a 14 week old blenheim puppy called Abbie, she is our first dog so its a big learning process for us. We have a slight problem however in that we seem to be going backwards with seperation issues. Abbie has her own room with her crate, toys and water. She used to love going out here every morning after her play where she can relax and have a snooze. We all work and go to college during the day so she needs to be left alone, however we ensure its not for more than 2 hours at a time. Only in the last week or so Abbie has started howling when she is put to the room, she eventually settles and goes of to sleep, the radio is left on and we have a ticking clock in her crate which soothes her I think. But she used never cry like this when she had to go out there. Is this a seperation issue? Does anyone know how we can help her to know that her room is a nice place for her? She does love the room as she often goes out there during the day just to hang out but as soon as the door is closed she cries terribly. I hate her being so upset and would appreciate any advice
