I have a dog which is 9 months old, I have had him for 1 month. When I leave the room even for a few seconds he whines and whimpers and is even worse when he is in his crate, he tries to get out. He is very noisy and upsetting neighbours.
I have tried covering his crate so he cannot see but he still knows when i leave the room, no matter how quiet I am. I have left clothes with my scent on them near crate but he still knows. How does he know if he cannot see me leave and can smell my scent.
This will definitely help - remember the key thing is to pay no attention to the pup when you come out. Of course there are other things you can do to help you - reading The Dog Listener by Jan fennell tells you what they are. Be aware that having a puppy that young can cause issues, but you can minimise those problems with our help.
