I have a 6.2lb, 9 month old Silky Terrier puppy named Rocsi. She's very well trained - sits, stays, rolls over, and comes when called (usually). She's a happy, smart dog - but craves attention ALL THE TIME.
She cries when she thinks you're going to leave or just not looking @ her, & when crated, she chews on the bars, shakes them with her teeth, shakes & pants endlessly. She won't even sit or lie down and usually urinates w/in the first ten minutes of being alone (although she's housetrained).
We've tried everything to break her of this insecurity. We've done several weeks of training (reduced attention prior to departures & arrivals, reduced attention during daily activities - except when she follows a command; regular walks to prevent pent up energy, getting keys, shoes, & coat but sitting down so to desensitize her to our pattern of behavior for leaving, & even vet prescribed meds to calm while we train her) & nothing seems to correct her behavior.
What do I do?
