this is my first question here :) i have a new chihuahua puppy. he's almost 5 months old and we got him when he was 3 months from a petstore. i understand that wasnt a good idea since they arent good BUT what's done is done. he learned potty training fast. he's very smart... mabey too smart haha. he knows things he shouldnt do and does them and then as soon as i look at him, he runs. its pretty cute when its not something important he's destroyed. anyways, the only problem he has is when he has to go into his room for the night, or when we leave, or when i eat lunch. he doesnt bark. he SCREAMS and whines and throws the biggest hissy fit you've ever seen a tiny dog throw. my aunt heard him and said "are you baby sitting a kid?" now, his room is the downstairs bathroom. he's got a crate (we are getting him a "big dog" bed for christmas to replace to crate), a down blanket in the crate, chew toys, chew sticks, bones, a soft toy for him to cuddle or bite, water, a puppy pad and his very own radio. and i hide treats in his blanket so he's got a little suprise. but what's missing is me. he'd rather be with me 24 hours a day. he could care less bout my boyfriend haha but he wants his mom.
we do not let him out when he cries. we've done everything the books say. nothing has worked. and eventually he does calm down but if he hears me, or if i'm on the phone, he starts up again.
any suggestions?
