My husband and I adopted a 5 year old poodle/maltese mix, we've had her for 3.5 weeks now. She whines when only I leave the room and is left with my husband. When we both are gone, she whines a little but eventually settles down. She used to follow me everywhere, but I have since discouraged that and now she stays where she is unless called, but still has her eye on my every move - even if I shift on the bed.
We've been working on the typical SA protocol, me coming and going and increasing the time. We're up to 30 minutes with her and my husband in the room, no whining! My husband has been walking, treating, feeding her, basically meeting all her needs. How can we help their bond grow while making her less dependent on me? I don't really provide her with anything as of right now (and haven't for the past 2 weeks). Any advice would be great!!
