Hello quaker-friends!
I've a complicated situation with our 2 year young quaker female Marley. Basically she is extremely attached to me and I feel like she chose me as her "mate". Marley is super tame, learned a lot of tricks (waving, spinning, target training, even peekaboo ect) and overall she's super cute, curious and friendly.
However, everytime i leave the house and Marley is alone with my girlfriend, she screams non stop until I'm back.
I even can't go anywhere in the house without Marley looking for me, following me, or screaming for me.
Marley is completely fine with my girlfriend, there is no jealousy or anything like that which results to biting etc.
However, her screaming when I leave the house is not manageable and will definitely lead to problems with the neighbours, but also completely stresses out my girlfriend. She tried everything, from playing with her, to interacting with her, which sometimes calms Marley down for a few minutes - until she starts screaming again. The screaming immediately stops when i come home, so it definitely must be me not being there.
Does anyone know how to work on this? We don't want to give Marley away, but it will be our last option if we can't fix this.
Her food is extremely balanced and she loves the mix we do for her, so this shouldn't be the issue.
I personally believe that she's sexually frustrated, especially because she is extremely sensitive, and since i think that she chose me as her mate, this is why she screams like that when I'm not there - but can this be fixed? Is there any hope for us?
Im extremely thankful for any kind of help because we're getting really desperate and ultimately we don't want to give Marley away. Thanks in advance for any help given to us!
