My puppy must have separation anxiety. She poops in her crate and acts up when I’m at work, then does better when I am at home. I don’t have a divider to put in her crate because one didn’t come with it and I can’t find anything.
The other members in the household don’t want to help take care of her when I’m at work because they didn’t want me to get a dog. I’m going to take her to a dog trainer soon but in the mean time I am threatened to get rid of her because she is a bad girl when I am not home.

I also think it is very important to teach a puppy the basic training. I have a 6 month old Labrador puppy who is climbing into my bed when I am asleep

Razzia’s comment is somewhat unrelated to this individual post. Still, I believe it is worthy of discussion and debate. To that effect, I have taken the liberty of moving the discussion to the forum area: Rottweilers Maul 10 Year Old Girl. Please feel free to comment and discuss the topic there.

Rottweilers, normally the most reliable of dogs in most situations, are named once again in the same breath as tragedy after the mauling by two rotties of ten-year-old Rhianna Kidd. What is it that made these particular animals, themselves mature family pets in a family with five children, attack seemingly the least objectionable of subjects? Smell perhaps? Shouldn’t we be looking into that? The dogs themselves have subsequently been destroyed – why? Wouldn’t it be arguably more beneficial if they were kept alive for study?

Hi, Hannah. Your little dachshund sounds like she’s going to make a wonderful pet for you. It’s not unusual for recently adopted dogs to be shy and timid at first. Often, they open up with time and become more confident. Especially if she was in a pound or shelter situation, it was probably really stressful and frightening for her and now she has a big adjustment to make. (No offense meant to any pound or shelter! Just that many dogs get scared in a kennel situation.)

It’s great that you supplied her with a “safe spot”. You’ll probably find she goes back to that crate often to rest or to escape and be by herself when she feels the need.

Good luck. Please keep us posted on how she does. If you’d like to post some photos of her in our Photo Gallery, we’d love to see her

We just recently adopted a very shy and timid dachshund but she’s very sweet. Good thing we introduced nicely her crate which is her comfortable territory and she’s slowly settling in so well.

Great post! I recently just got a Rottweiler puppy and I’m trying to learn as much as I can about taking care for dogs.
