Hello!
Im new to this forum so hello everyone! Looking for some support and advice! I have a 8 year old JRT who is really chilled and well behaved, as a family we have always rescued dogs and are used to the challenges this can bring. We have been volunteering at the dog rescue and of course it wasnt long before we got another dog as we are soft! Shes lovely, shes a 4 year old JRTXBeagle. We have only had her 3 days and her history is unknown and im fully aware it is early days however when we leave her she is howling. Our other dog is really chilled so wont be giving her any high energy anxites. We have been using a crate in the day and she is happy with this however, she howls for the first 20 min after we leave, she then settles and then howls again after another few hours. We have been leaving her for short bursts but today we left her for 3.5 hours and the neighbours (who are very ok about it) said she howled constantly. Any advice on helping her to calm and settle would be really gratefully recieved. I totally understand its early days and im in no rush but its making me anxious and is making me worry about leaving her!
. Also to add, she is walked on 2x 1 hour walks a day. Please any support or advice would be great!! x
