  <span style="font-size:75">Hm. Would you be able to attach a leash to you and Bonnie so she could be with you while you did your chores?</span>

  try to put an old shirt of yours or your moms in a cage and put her in it. She'll smell your mom and will be more likely to accept the cage and settle down.

  <span style="font-size:75"><span style="color:blue">Thankies Vamp. Do you think a room like the bathroom would be good enough? I don't have a cage for her yet. We only got her like two weeks ago... lol I did the leash thing so far and she is still winning like crazy and I can't constantly bend down to pet her. Plus, I have to lift heavy loads, so the leash thing isn't gonna work right now... Thought it was though. :? </span></span>

  Try Recording your moms voice on a tape for the future put it in the bathroom with her & the shirts, hearing along with the smell might calm her

  <span style="font-size:75"><span style="color:blue">Hmmm... Another good idea. Just need to get my hands on a tap recorder.. Ehh, for now she's just gonna have to suck it up and go in the bathroom with the shirts. :roll: </span></span>

  I agree w. VampireVenom. You should try the tee-shirt trick and if it isnt working you need to try something else. I would recommend you getting a crate/kennel for her to stay in when there isnt anyone to watch over/play with her. It also helps for potty training, if you're having problems with that.<br><br>One thing you HAVE to NOT do is reinforce this whining/etc bad behavior. She probably has some separation anxiety and you need to deal with it accordingly. <br><br>Here is a good link:<br><a href="http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/our_pets_for_life_program/dog_behavior_tip_sheets/separation_anxiety.html"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/our_p ... xiety.html</a><br><br>Good luck.

  <span style="font-size:75"><span style="color:blue">Yes, my mom is home now and she has been treating <br>her like a human child which I told her NOT to do soooo many times! :x <br>It just makes it harder on me and my sister... Who are the ones who train<br>our dogs... The bathroom idea worked. I already have a plan to help her <br>with her anxiety, I just need my mom to give up the "Cuddling of the Basset" :roll: <br><br>Thanks all for the help! </span></span>
