Since you lot came up trumps with the fireworks suggestion, heres's another one.
Lab pup is now 8 months old. We got him in July at 8 weeks and from July to early Jan I wasn't working so had a set routine in morning of getting up, letting him out the cage, toileting , breakfast and usually a nap on my lap as I had my morning coffee.
Over the course of the day he could be left alone, either whilst I was upstairs, or out the house altogether for a couple of hours. He would lie in his bed in the living room , or on the couch and no issues.
I started work and his morning routine has changed however, he simply cannot be left alone now - 10 mins on his own whilst grabbing a shower and he starts chewing on the cushion or ripping his (5th and last) bed apart. As a result of this, he is now put back in his cage (which he seems to like).
I realise there are a whole load of behaviours, insecurities and possibly anxieties at play here but any suggestion as to how we get him back to been able to be left?
