I brought home a staffy puppy 3 weeks ago, he’s almost 12 weeks now. I’ve read about the puppy blues and felt like I was getting a handle on it all, with the biting, not listening etc, as he’s only young. I got pretty happy leaving him for 2 hours on his own in his crate (it’s open) with a play pen around it. Today, whilst I was at home and he was on one of his scheduled naps he decided to start chewing the cage – bearing in mind he has been put down for naps since we brought him home, occasional howling, not much else. Today he got his jaw stuck in his crate, I was working from home so quickly got up as it was not a noise I had heard him make before and it was stuck, I managed to get it out, checked him over and he was fine. Now I am absolutely terrified to leave him. I don’t know what to do, I need to work, but when I’m out I can’t stop worrying.
