My partner is at home all day apart from two hours on a friday for the forseeable future as he is at uni but studies from home the rest of the time. This is open to possible change in the future but hopefully not much.
As for dealing with it..... I guess it depends what extent it is at, as there is obviously slight anxiety to the extreme of wrecking the house when you go out!!!
We're not shy of the work and always knew that the rescue bitch would come with baggage of some kind. I dont really know what to think/expect. I cant honestly say we have lots of money to spend with a behaviourist. I had planned on puppy/puppy style classes to help us bond as a family and insurance for vet bills, but i know that a behaviourist can get expensive very quickly (my mums last dog needed to see one).
And my other thought is it fair on Chris (partner) if he does need to pop out and the dog cant go to have to deal with it on his own if it's really bad?
For me worst case scenario would be that it doesn't work out and she has to go back. that is my biggest fear. not just cause it would break my heart but i dont want to mess the poor dog around. she's the most important thing in this!!!
What I was thinking is have the home check and see what happens? If we find out more and think we cant cope, I think we should say so.
