I have a 10 month old mini poodle mix who is VERY high energy. My parents watch her a few days a week while I work, but lately I’ve been wondering if she might actually be happier living with them full time
They have two dogs that she gets along great with, and they’re home most of the time. She also has pretty bad separation anxiety at my house. She freaks if I leave. She whines a lot, sits by the door, or sits by the closet where her leash is. But at my parents house they say she doesn’t whine or show separation anxiety at all. I’m wondering if it’s because she has the other dogs there?
At my house, there’s definitely more structure and rules, which I think is good for her. When she’s with me I take her on 1–3 walks a day and do enrichment games daily. We have a big backyard, but she’ll only run around if someone is out there with her.
I just don’t know if she’s actually happier over there, and I’m struggling with what the right thing to do is.
