As some of you might know, I recently homed Lucy from the Dogs Trust. Unfortunately, just after I got her I had a bout of the 'flu so she had a very unrealistic 10 days of me being around 24/7. I tried coming and going at random (for a few mins or up to 2 hours) and all seemed to be going well. But I've just had my first afternoon at work (I work p/t and this was 3 hours on her own) and have come home to find Lucy has ripped my wallpaper and urinated on the carpet.
I'd be delighted for any suggestions at all - but just so you know I have already been trying the following since I rehomed her:
- she is not allowed to follow me around my house
- she has the radio left on when I go out
- I put smelly clothes on the other side of the door
- I take her a walk before I leave her alone
- I leave her with her Kong and another interactive toy
Thanks in advance!
