Our gorgeous Labrador puppy is almost 14 weeks, and she is so lovely and smart! However she is very whiny. As in will just sit and whine if we’re not directly engaging with her. She hates to be away from us and we’re slowly working on separation but are only up to a couple of minutes before she cries. She eats well, plays well, happily sits with us and shows affection, but she still looks sad! We’re getting worried she has anxiety, and it may build up to separation anxiety. We feel at this point there’s no way we could leave her unattended. We’re crate training and building duration, but we still need to be in the room with her for her to settle and she wakes as soon as we leave. I think we’re trying to do our best with her, maybe I just need a bit of reassurance that her pace is slow and she just needs our patience.
