Firstly an apology -as a first time poster I'm sorry if I've unwittingly broken any posting rules but I wonder if anyone can give me advice with Mollie, my 10 month old cocker? We have had cockers in the past but never one dog on it's own, this is a first for us, so I'm not sure if the behaviour she's demonstrating is attention seeking/loneliness or ??
She loves a walk, and insists on 'saying hello' and playing if possible with any dogs we meet, and cries/whines if not allowed to. Trouble is she now cries/whines when at home-she'll sit with her toys and whine at them as if they should play-she's fine when we play with her but as much as I'd love to I can't play 24/7.
She will spend time looking at her reflection in the wardrobe doors and 'whinge'/whine at it until I open the door and show her there's no dog there. We are talking now about getting another dog because we're worried she's lonely. Are we worrying too much?
