Hi everyone,
I have adopted my first poodle. Rupert is 3 years old and has lived with my elderly parents since he was 8 weeks old. Pretty quickly after getting Rupert my mum was diagnosed with dementia and has gone downhill quickly. Needless to say Rupert hasn’t had the time and attention he needs and has little manners.
He has bonded really quickly to me and follows me around everywhere. This is easing off a little as he is getting more settled in our house.
The main issue we have is that he whines whenever I’m not near him. If I leave the house and he stays with my husband he whines, if I’m upstairs and he is downstairs (again with my husband) he whines.
If I’m downstairs and go upstairs when it’s just us in the house he is fine.
I’m at a loss of what to do to stop him. Please help!
He is crate trained and doesn’t whine in there.
