Ive posted before, meiko still suffering from seperation anxiety he is now 17 weeks old and has suffered from this since he was 8 weeks old. We cannot leave him alone at all or he goes nuts ive tried all the techniques. leaving my clothes in with him tv or radio on. doing it gradually,praising anytime hes quiet ignroing him before we go and when we come back, Hes doing the toilet everywhere wen we leave in his cage. I really dont know what im doing wrong.

Get another dog to keep him company!

god no im thinking about getting rid of him never mind another... i dont have the spcae time or mney for another dog

He's only 17 weeks old and a baby, surely you aren't seriously considering getting rid of him?

Why not take him to training classes? Has he been socialised properly?

Oh no, why?

when uve had 9 week sof cleaning up runny crap all over a white puppy and constant crying when u even step towards the door u cant take much more. Yeah hes in classes and hes great in them just doesntlike being alone doesnt matter who it is it doesnt have to be me aslong as hes not alone.

oh me!! i used to have a staffy cross and he suffered from sepertion anxiety, he would rip everything to pieces when u left him and he cried all the time to the point we had to get rid of him because we were giving a warning by the housing assosiation...now he has had 8 homes since(in2years) and if i could i would take him back in a secong but i dont have the space i regret giving him up hes never had the chance to settle because hes moved on constantly!!

8 weeks was far too young for SA to be an issue. I can only assume that somewhere along the line someone has given into his cries, and not been consistent in training him. Dogs arent born with SA, it is created.

What do you do when he cries? 17 weeks is young enough to nip it in the bud, but it will be hard, and will require patience.

I ignore him. The first two weeks we got him we didnt work as we had flue so he was with us 24-7 so now its a big problem for him but after weeks of constant training there is no change.

His runny poo is likely to be attributed to his diet, what are you feeding him?

If you're fed up of him now I dread to think what it will be like when he's 7 months old and likely to still be having accidents

Like Nonnie said his crying can be stopped now but it will take work.
