My sweet little 19 week old puppy and I have been living at my parents house since she came home at 8.5 weeks. She’s been okay until recently when home just with my parents (never quite as happy as when I’m around) but this week has started shutting down entirely when I’m not there – doesn’t want to leave her crate/growls when my parents try to get her out of it. She’s alright with me leaving the room when I’m in the house, it’s really just when I’m not there at all it seems.
She started puppy daycare a couple weeks ago 2x a week – not sure if that could have anything to do with it? The first day there she spent a lot of time cuddling with the trainer, and they say that she’s a lot more confident now than she was at the start, playing with a couple other small puppies and does a nice job in her crate. When she comes out she’s always happy and wagging before she sees me too, so I think she enjoys it.
Any tips on getting her to be ok with my parents? I’m trying having them feed her (she’s not super food motivated so that’s tough). Should I leave her with them more to get her more used to it?
