Hey all,
,I have a 7.5 Month old South African Boerboel, for the last 5 months or so i have been home with him nearly all day everyday. Which he loves, but i have problems when i leave him alone. He winges and gets destructive even though he has another dog here to play with. I tried to get him to sleep outside a few times but he just cried and cried ALL night and no one could sleep.
Now for my problem lol, i move to ipswich in 6 weeks for work and he's coming with me, but my job is all shift work so he's going to be in a new home, alone, for 10-12 hours at a time 3-4 or even 5 times a week.
And i don't know what to do, the only thing that really makes sense to me is to buy him another dog to play with. But i won't have time to take care of an 8 week old puppy if i'm gone half the week and i'm not that keen on getting a mature dog. . .
when i found out he hated sleeping outside I had a look at the possibily of him having some type of attachment issue or whatever you call it. But when i'm here he doesn't really pay that much attention to me. Him and our other dog Jake ( a maltese x shi tzu ) follow me everywhere but they don't annoy or nagg me they just lay down around me.
i nearly bought an Anatolian Shepherd dog for him as a buddy but though i'd get some advice first. . .
Anyway here's the team
Cheers. . .
Lucas.
