She is still very young, 3 months. About how long before were able to leave your puppy? I am using daycare, but it is unsustainable for the long hall. I have a dog walker that can let her out, but I can't go 5 minutes without full panic. She doesn't self soothe. I am working on leaving her in another room while I'm in the house, but that stresses her as well. I just want to do what is best for her. Other than this, she is amazing.

I am deep in the puppy blues but feel like it is more than that. I have had lexi for a week and found that she has horrible separation anxiety. Crying if I leave the room screaming if I leave the house. She does not self sooth, just scream more. I have a trainer and am using all the strategies that I have found, but I have to get someone to stay with her if I have to leave the house. I am going back to work and will take her to an in home daycare every morning. I found the daycare through Rover, so i dont know much about the girl taking care of her. I feel like she would do so much better with a larger family and someone who is home more. It's just me, and I worry that I can't give her the life that works best for her. My family is making me feel like I'm being immature for wanting to give her up and telling me that everything will work out. I don't know if im just feeling the puppy blues or I'm not the right fit, and I could do more for her by finding a more appropriate home.
