I have been leaving Murphy as his puppy sitter has a broken arm quite successfully for a few hours no damage other than to his kong. Though yesterday bless him we now have a chewed skirting board and a hole in the wall even when we left a knog and other goodies to find he was on his own for 3 hours. We have been told to give him rescue remedy from Bach to calm him down and try peanut butter, is this safe, do you get sun pat stuff or doggy made stuff, and does Bach work, going to trainer on thurs for his class and will talk to her as well. We were doing so well and he seemed unbothered when we leave him and its normally only twice a week. Thanks penny
