Missing my pup...

n/a

I dropped my GSD off for some formal training yesterday. She'll be gone for about 4 weeks. I've made arrangement to visit her at the two week mark. She's a pack animal and I'm wondering how she's doing with separation anxiety (hopefully better than I am [B)][:I]). You should have heard her howling/barking when I started my truck up to leave there yesterday. [:(]

I sure hope this training is worth it...

Dogs are the best - they're family members who are always happy to see you, will never turn on you, and won't ever ask to borrow money.[:D][8D]

What kind of training does she need?

I can guarantee you she's traumatized by this.

swampgut,

I doubt the pup will be traumatized. When I was younger, my family dog (also a German Shepherd) went away for a few weeks. She was whining and crying when we left her, but when we picked her up again, she acted like we'd never left. She was happy to see us - all smiles and a wagging tail - but she wasn't clingy or weird afterward.

First few times I left my Shepherd at a Kennel he was miserable...diarrhea, wouldn't eat, wouldn't get up and play. But he did a lot better and actually adjusted after a few visits....he would get upset when i would leave him though
