He is only 9 months old and he is always with us, but we have to go away for five days. Can someone provide some advice on how to make the days go by for him. I want to get the best sitter possible. But will he long for us?
Answers:
Your pup will miss you. I went on a 2 week vacation and left my dog with my sister. I made it a point to leave an old worn t-shirt of mine, so that my doggy could smell my scent. When I got back I was told she used it as her bed.
You will be lucky after 5 days away if he remembers you especially if where he is gives a lot of treats.
He will miss you. I watched my parents' dog for a week...and he got so depressed! He wouldn't eat or drink. He just laid down and moped all day. It was sad. Nothing I did made him happy. As soon as they got back though...he was like a different dog.
He'll probably miss you, but it is a good thing he's going to stay in his own home, where he's comfortable. You could ask the sitter to call you and let you say hello to the dog so he hears your voice. That might make him feel better if he starts getting upset that you're gone.
hes still a puppy, as long as whoever it is loves on him and gives him treats, he will be perfectly happy.
i dont know. why dont you ask him.
hows anyone going to truely know if your dog is going to miss you?
He will be fine, just get someone you trust and go enjoy yourself. He is not going to forget you, pups that I raise remember me years later, even if I don't see them between visits. I occasionally take in "troubled" dogs and they never forget me, which is good.
yes he will miss you the first time i had to leave my dog i was worried so i washed all her toys and then carried them around under my shirt it makes the toys have your scent and they love it! i also left some messages on my answering machine talking to her and my sitter played them for her every day it really helps!!
It is good that he will be in his own home and if the sitter is loving and kind, he will be fine. They say dogs have no perception of time, if that is true at least he won`t be counting the days till u get back. Seriously, if the sitter keeps him occupied and spends time with ur dog, nothing bad is going to happen while ur gone. He will miss u, but he`ll have a joyful Reunion when u get back home. Enjoy urself on ur trip.
well, depending on how you work out the sitting he can have a very good time. If someone is staying at your house with him, or if he is staying with someone else that'd be great. If he's staying at home alone and someone is stopping in to take care of him that isn't so good. Boarding is even good.
Puppies are pretty flexible, so he probably won't pout or really long for you. Of course he'll miss you, but dogs really can't tell time. It makes no difference to them if you go to the store or go on vacation...it all seems about the same.
as long as he has someone to play with him occasionally and he gets to do normal puppy stuff he'll be fine.
