Doesn’t like to be alone

Hi,  I have the puppy for 5 days now.  Today is the first day we left her in the play pen in the family room and we work from our room.   She whined and screamed for > 40mins until my son moved his work to the family room next to the play pen.  I believe we should ignore her when she is whining for attention, however, 40 mins whining is a long time...any advice?

Answer:


Usually acknowledging the whining by moving closer will only make her whine more if you try to change.  Ignoring is a better plan, returning only if she has been quiet at least 30 minutes.
