[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Puppy is 12 weeks old, we've had him for 2 weeks. He's great overnight, zero issues there, but we're unsure how to "teach" him to be alone during the day. We sometimes need to do a "forced" nap during the day in his crate as he overtire's himself (little FOMO going on lol). Can you point us in a good direction of where to start?[/quote] Jesus, he's a baby. He's scared. Have a little patience b/c you're expecting too much at this point. Time alone should be short at first (yes, it's a hassle. We also have a puppy). Then lengthen it little by little. He's got to be reassured that you will come back. And give him lots of things to do while gone. Our puppy is not crated anymore as she's older now. We give a treat ball, some toys, and we leave cardboard boxes out for her to wrestle with and chew and destroy. We leave the radio or tv on, as well, for some background noise. [/quote]
