Open Question: My dog acts like she is frightened when we leave. ? |
When my husband or I leave the house, my dog starts shaking really bad. When we got her in July, we rescued her from a shelter and confined her to just the kitchen in the beginning. She started chewing on our furniture so we starting crate training her. Every time we would go put her in it she would shake very bad. Why could this be? Could it be she is associating the crate with her being bad or is she just afraid of us leaving her?Shes’s a mixture of a terrier and yorkie, but more of an unknown terrier mix. About 15-20 lbs. When we got her the vet said she was about a year old, so we didnt feel the need to have to crate train her til she started misbehaving. No she definetely does not walk in by herself, we’ve tried putting treats in to encourage her to go in, but we have to place her in there. Addtional info, she has given atleast one litter, she has more of a domination motherly figure, and sometimes I feel like she feels like she doesn’t deserve attention. We try and play with her like we do our first baby, but she has no desire. Please help!!!Shes’s a mixture of a terrier and yorkie, but more of an unknown terrier mix. About 15-20 lbs.
