I now EXACTLY how you feel!!!! I spent most of yesterday afternoon sat on the conservatory doorstep watching Libby and Phoebe. Phoebe so she didn't get too boisterous and Libby so she didn't eat anything.
Even though I have done this before it still seems like hard work (it is!!!). It sounds like you're doing fine. We are trying to leave Libby on her own abit too but she can scream (literaly) for England. Even when I'm in the kitchen and she's in her puppy pen 2 yards away she wants to be with me.
Hubby works at home so she has someone there but she still needs to learn to be on her own a bit. We are doing it for half and hour here and there, and the time we have with Phoebe for walks, grooming and playing without the little monster
I'm sure she'll get there.
She already knows how to sit on command (even though the memory fails her sometimes and to mainly stay on her bed when we feed her).
We've got a big garden and with the weather so nice its great to get out with her and get her used to things before she can go for a real walk. We are taking her out in a rucksack but shes a fidget bum! She has her 2nd injection tomorrow so it won't be long.
We have never left Phoebe in the garden on her own so we will do the same with Libby and when both of them are out there together. I some ways Phoebe keeps Libby entertained but I still want her to be independant.
Keep asking the questions and we have all been there!
