Puppy is now 8 months, want to switch from day care to lunch walker- help?
Hi
I want to switch my puppy from three days a week at day care to a dog walker at noon
When we are home together, she generally sleeps til 10 and I think an hr or a bit m ore at lunch when I get home by four is enough social time and attention when we have the whole evening together and 4 days a week as a family
She is super attached to the day care owner, and to the other dogs.... she goes beserk when we see them on the street and cries out when they walk away
So how do I transition her with minimal anxiety to a dog walker?
I was thinking I could work from home for the afternoon for a week or two and just have her alone in the morning for a few weeks- she is used to being alone the odd weekend evening for up to 5 hrs
I'm not worried about messes, she uses a piddle pad
Advice? Or ideas? Thanks in advance-
