[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One more thing to consider — since she’s young and still adjusting to her environment, if you’re the only pack member at home with her during the day, she’s taking her cues from you. If you are quiet and still for long periods without interacting with her (even looking over at her), she’ll know that it’s okay to rest. If she’s loose and able to follow you around, and especially if you’re constantly checking on her, approaching her, making eye contact, talking to her, touching her, she’ll feel like it’s always time to be “on.” She still needs her rest. It’s okay to crate her with a Kong and ignore her for a couple hours during the day.[/quote]

OP here. Ahhhh, this makes sense. I have very much high anxiety and I run off of my own adrenaline. I can never keep still, so I am constantly doing something and being busy. I guess I did not expect that she would follow me around to each room of the house. Even if the kids are in the room with her, and she loves them, if I leave, she will leave them too.[/quote]
