dog yelping crate image

My Peekapoo Teddy grew up with our older dog mollie. Well we had to put Mollie down a couple of weeks ago. Ever since then he has not been eating much. He sulks around and seems to be quite depressed. Is this normal? How long does it last? Do you have any experience with a mourning dog. Thanks!!!

My family had a 5 month old puppy die, he had a heart attack in the middle of the night. i have to say it was the worst thing i have ever witnessed. i felt so bad for the little guy. he had barely begun his life. and it just ended.. our dogs were wondering what happened and where he went after that. They were wondering why we had to carry him out of the house and why he wasnt moving or breathing. Extremely sad when we owned both the mother and the father of this puppy. He was a purebred Irish Wolfhound. He was diagnosed at 8 weeks with a level 4 Heart Murmur. The vet told us he could live a long life, but he could drop dead at any given time. Well for us, the night he passed away we were sitting in the kitchen playing with him and rubbing his tummy. Then it was time for bed. So we put him in his kennel and went to bed. A few hours later, i was reading a book in my room when i heard a lot of yelping and whining. Then it was quiet. I was wondering what had happened. i just thought a dog had caught its toe in the crate or something like that. So i kept reading when there was suddenly a knock on my door and my mom opens it crying. i was like kay....? shes like can you please come upstairs and help me? so i got up, and on our way upstairs she told me that Zeus had had a heart attack. and my dad tried helping him, but nothing worked and he died in my dads arms.. when i got upstairs the mother to Zeus was laying beside his kennel. the other dogs were locked in the living room and we had to put them outside so they wouldn;t freak out and wake up the rest of the family. each one of them walked silently into the kitchen looked in Zeus's kennel and kept walking with their heads down. i put them in their run outside and went back in to help out. My dad had gone out to the back yard to start digging a hole for Zeus. my mom and i had to some how get Zeus out of his kennel.. Since he was an Irish Wolfhound, he wasn't light and it wasnt easy getting him out of that kennel. My mom went to grab a blanket for him, so i went in his kennel and pet his lifeless head. He was still warm. but was strange to pet him with him not breathing or responding in anyway at all besides lay there. we pulled him onto the new blanket and wrapped his body in it. we look off the top of the xpen so we could lift him out the top instead of fitting him through the narrow door. We then brought him out to the boarding kennel since there was no dogs here that weekend. and lied him on the carpet out there. then went back inside and cleaned up his kennel. The next morning my brother and sister woke up to Zeus not being there and they were only 7 and 9 then. so they were devastated. Then we went out to bury him and find rocks for his grave. Then came inside and took his kennel apart.
All the dogs were wondering where he went. they were looking for him. wanting to play with him. But eventually they felt better. And moved on as did the rest of the family. We have lost many dogs, as we are breeders. And breed IRish Wolfhounds. Their lifespan is already only 6-8 years. I know there is a day coming when Zeus's mom is going to pass away too. She turns 7 at the end of July.. and already is showing lots of age. Zeus's dad is turning 5. and his healthy right now. It will be a VERY sad day when they both go.
Im very sorry for your loss. Im sorry Teddy is sad, he will heal though and go back to his self. in the meantime give him lots of love and cuddles :)

How can I help my dogs separation anxiety?
Adriana
I rescued a 1 year old Cocker Spaniel from this family who neglected him. All he wants to do is play which is fine. After I'm done playing with him and leave the room that he is in he begins to freak out. He barks and whines and yelps! I tried to ignore him but he won't stop! I take him outside and make sure he does his business (he isn't potty trained either) and as soon as I leave he does the same thing! I can't leave him outside either because the neighbors always complain. He just barks like he's pleading for help. As soon as he sees my face or my families face he clams down. I just want to find out what my family and I can do to help this problem.

Hello,
Separation Anxiety in dogs isn't the easiest behavior to fix, but it is doable. It really takes a combination of reward training and practice. It also takes a good amount of daily training. If you haven't started using a crate, or pen, I would suggest doing just that to help get the potty training going. Since the dog is a year old, potty training is best done as fast as possible and before you start separation training. A crate or pen may also make your dog feel more secure. Crates come with covers on them. You may want to get one.
Best wishes, and don't give up!
