Hello! My husband and I rescued Sable about a week ago and she’s 12 weeks old today. We’ve confirmed her mother is a full basset, not sure about her dad but our best guess is beagle. We’ll be DNA testing her to confirm for possible genetic issues.
She’s an incredibly sweet girl and we’re doing alright with potty training and basic commands. She seems to have a high level of separation anxiety, as in if we’re not in her eyeline she’ll absolutely freak out and cry and scream. We’re attempting crate training and making the crate her happy safe place, but it’s not going well. Even with toys, chew sticks, and me sitting next to the crate and only being in there for short periods, she’s not taking to it.
Does anyone have any advice on separation anxiety for her? We’re doing our best and love her so much already, I just want her to be more comfortable and for us to get some rest.
