Don't feel guilty - it will all come right, really it will.   ;D

Put him into his bed for a rest - with a toy he can't swallow, a hot water bottle well wrapped up so he can't get into it and chew it, and a ticking clock very nearby (to imitate his mother/siblings' heart beat.)  Leave him in just fora  few seconds to start with, don't go to him if he makes a noise - wait a second till he's quietened then let him out, and then lengthen the time each time you put him in there.  He may just settle down anyway, but don't leave it till bedtime as he will find it strange being on his own.
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Thank you  :bouquet:   We have popped him in his little room for a few short bursts and then while we had our tea so he'd have some time to himself and then we went back to him after dinner. He whined as expected and woofed a bit!.
Just need to find a clock now.
