Hi guys. This post is a bit long but any opinion from you are more than appreciated.
So, here is some update.
She didnt whine at all last Thursday and Friday! We took her to my in-laws and spent whole day with her on Saturday. She also met my in-laws jack russel for the first time and they both enjoyed it. Came back the same day and slept well in a separate room.
Then she had a sudden full blown SA (or at least thats what it looked like to us) on Sunday...my husband and I left at the same time after giving her a pig ear and a frozen Kong. We left when she started eating the pig ear.
As soon as she finished the pig ear, she started whining and rooing like never before laying at the front door. She didnt even touch the frozen Kong.
This was our first time seeing her in this high level of distress and got very worried that there might be something wrong. So, we decided to go back after 20 minutes of continuous whining and rooing. She got extremely excited when we came back, which does not happen often.
Today when my husband left for work in the morning, she didnt react at all and just stayed on the bed. I decided to leave her at around 2pm after a wee walk. She looked a bit unsettled when I left but soon she started eating the treat and Kong. After finishing both in about half an hour, she went to the front door, whined for few sec, paced around, went to bed, back to the front door, then went to the couch. It looked like she kept looking at the front door from the couch for few minutes, and then put her chin on the couch looking at a wall. In about 5 minutes, she got up and went to the front door ( no whine this time), and went to bed to sleep. She calmly greeted me when I came back. I only left her for about 90 minutes today. In total, she only whined less than 5 minutes.
Now I am wondering what went wrong on Sunday. Is it normal to have this type of setback after spending a whole day together?
Should I re-work on alone training from the scratch?
Btw, I am in Australia and writing this at 4:30pm on Monday if you were wondering if the timeline is correct
