My fiancé "F" and I adopted a then 11 week old beagle/lab mix whom we named "N". F and I already have a 6 year old golden retriever, "L", whom I purchased from a breeder and subsequently raised to the age of three before F moved in. I assumed, having been through puppyhood with L, that I was well equipped. I was wrong. The puppy, N, despite finally acclimating to house training, cannot abide being alone. I'm concerned because right now F and I are in school, so we have flexible schedules, but in the next year we will both graduate and move to more traditional 9-5 schedules. How do I acclimate her to only being with L during the day? Ideally I'd love to put her in doggy day care, but we can't afford it. Would a walker be enough? any suggestions are welcome.
