Hi all,
I have 2 labs, Bruno - 8 1/2 Chocolate Lab and Milly a 1 yr old yellow Lab (possibly crossed with Whippet)
Bruno was a naughty pup, well he still is as mischevious as ever but he eventually stopped being so bad as he got a little older
Milly, is the most loyal pup, excellently behaved, well trained, great walking on or off the lead and an absolute joy to own....as long as she can stay by your side!!
We are almost unable to ever leave her, sometimes even 10 mins is too much, initially she was left and we would come back and everything ripped apart, wee etc... even for 10 mins of being left, since having her the max we have left her is 3 hours!!
So decided to get a crate, she is happy going in and out of it, doesnt seem to stress her, and then we go out.... she will bark for the whole time were out, and recently she has started weeing in there and her nose has been grazed twice.
I think its clear she hates being left, but yesterday I was home...(have the week off) and I went to sleep for an hour, to then wake with a shoe totally ripped apart, without even telling her off she was laying there shaking
We have had her since July/Aug 09 we rehomed her from a guy who said he works on the road and cant take her with him, and was passing her to friends, then another friend etc when we got her, he didnt even meet us, nor knew our address he dropped her off at my friends pet shop!!! and these issues have been there from day one.
I dont intend to give up on her, and I cant really afford any additional training to help her.
I have worked with animals for a long time up untill April 09 so am confident I can do something.
Im just short of ideas and wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem and if so what you have done?
Thanks people, hope someone can help
