Hi everyone! My puppy is 12 weeks old now. We started the training for being alone (The goal at some point should be that she can stay alone for a maximum of 4 hours).. At the same time, we do crate-training. So while I am leaving, she is staying in her „fence“ (I dont know the english word sorry. Its a fence, and in her area, she has water/food, toys abd her dog bed). Acutally, she can sleep in her crate/fence while im in the same room. But as soon as I leave, she starts to whine, yelp and bark. She is really under a lot of stress and is panting heavily when I get back. I never left longer than 10 minutes.
Is this normal? Did I start the training to early? Should I go on? Will it get better?
