My Maltese is over dependent on people what should I do?
My Maltese is 7 months old and my problem is that she hates to be alone for 1 second. She would follow me to the bathroom, kitchen everywhere. When I have to go somewhere that I can't bring her, she starts howling and crying. Is this something she will grow out of? I have roomates, so I can not go and get another dog. One is too many already.
Seperation axiety is common in little doggies. What you need to do is get her used to you being gone as well as training her to know you will always come back after you leave. I would suggest acting like you are going to leave put on your coat hold your keys leave and then come back after 3-5 min. Don’t make a big deal about coming and going don’t do big hellos or goodbyes. Your Vet can also prescribe a medication called Clomicalm to help with the behavior modification. and many will have a training video that goes with the drug
Classic separation anxiety. She will not grow out of it without your help. Check out the link below.
