Erys has socialized you very well, Addie! There's no such pain in the entire world as a change in routines and I admire the way you've solved the situation. Thank you for the video! ❤❤❤
When I had to start going to the office, we worked on the association of bicycle = I come back. Not easy at the beginning, but now they don't even bat a lash when I grab my bike. Likewise, not a word, nothing that can trigger an "i am leaving" message. Now i even managed to associate the market stroller with the " i will be back" message and is just fine. Congratulations on your new job.
Could you maybe do a video about training a single whippet/iggy to stay home alone? Everyone I see has multiple dogs and she is fine as long as other dogs are around, but being alone (since we only have one dog at this point) is really hard. Best regards and love your videos! ❤
Thank you Adi for this video. I feel my Theo is the same case, he is used to being with me every day all day as I work from home, tailing me everywhere, and does not really care about other members of the household. As I leave home occasionally, he is on alert and doesn't rest, so when I come home, he finally lays down from exhaustion, the same as Erys..
They burn off so much energy getting distressed - My friend's Whippet who I looked after for the day was on high alert for any noise that might be her owner returning . My Whippet tried to comfort her {they are sisters} but it wasn't enough-she wanted her human!
yes, you feel bad when you know that the dog is not feeling well. It is so important that the dog learns to stay alone as a puppy. At some point it will become a habit, but the sooner the dog learns it, the better. For everyone involved.
@@sonjaf.8049 This is true... It's interesting that Adi's Whippet STILL got a form of separation anxiety despite having a pack of Whippets there and also her Mum! My friend has a pack of Whippets and one of hers doesn't much like being left - even if left with her husband there {and they all love him}
It's extra hard to leave the house when you know they are so attached to you, but there are times when it has to be done. Like Oakleaf mentioned, in Erys' case with me and in Skylar's case with my mom, being in a larger pack doesn't necessarily eliminate the risk of separation anxiety. But with Erys it helps as eventually she goes to play or cuddle with the others when I am not home.
I looked after my friend's Whippet [sister to my Whippet] for 9 hours...and she Shrieked and wailed despite knowing me and {obviously!} her sister. She was genuinely distressed... although after about 7 hours she calmed down a bit. Separation anxiety when away from their owner can be a real problem with some Whippets.
@@ShowPaws It really was! Her wailing and frantic sniffing under the door - I'd try to get her to settle by stroking her and her owner had left her nice treats - Although after seven hours she was relaxed enough to stay on the sofa while I made a coffee or went to the loo..rather than following me frantically. She also barked whenever my neighbours made a noise {she's a good guard dog!}
QQ if that's ok - I have a 5m old female whippet, and she throws out undigested food almost every day. Is that normal for a whippet puppy and do you have any advice on how to solve this problem? (She sleeps with us so you can imagine that we have to wash our bed, sofa .. etc almost every day and that's very tiring)
Hi there! I would recommend you seek advice from a veterinarian. Perhaps she overeats or plays a lot right after her meals, or another cause. But it is abnormal for her to throw up undigested food almost every day. Good luck and I hope it's nothing serious 💗
I had a whippet for 15 years. I was home most of the time but could Never train him to be calm with being alone. This video wasn't helpful since when this whippet was " alone " she was with one human and 6 other whippets !
I'm sorry you didn't find the video helpful in your case, however neither in the title, nor in the video itself have I mentioned she has adjusted to being alone, or that we'll be teaching her to be on her own. I even said she is more fortunate than other whippets who don't have buddies, as she is surrounded by 6 whippets (7 for the majority of her life) and 4* other people and even so, the transition was difficult for her. I intended to highlight separation anxiety in whippets is not to be underestimated and the video is also a part of Erys' life and adventures, which I've been documenting since she was 3.5 months old 😊

Thank you ❤️ Change of routines is a pain, but unfortunately nothing lasts forever and we can only try an make the best of it.
@@ShowPaws So true....
Erys is very fortunate to have a big pack and a family of humans who are dedicated to Whippets 100%.
She is very lucky.
I love the coloring of ayrs
Aww Addie..listing and watching this video..I wanted to just give you and Arys the biggest hugs..❤
💞💞💞 Thank you, dear Karen!
''Like pants on a butt'' -🤣😂
That's exactly how she is 😆
@@ShowPaws That made me laugh out loud 🩲😂
Erys's eyes watching you..they KNOW when we have to leave them.
They are so good at reading us.

You know the answer.....you have written it yourself! Get her a companion if she settles when another dog is with her.?
@@Oakleaf700 ohh I wish that was a possibility, but sadly it's not yet. She will have to learn to be by herself (and with our cats) first.
@@Wuermchen I understand...If you have cats, that is company {As long as they get on of course}

Great great video… post Covid and work location policies hasn’t been good for especially dogs
