But now I got a call from my landlord saying that I will get evicted if I dont get this under control. I have tried spraying with a water bottle, toys, clothing that smells like me, covering the crate up....and NOW i am out of ideas. Please Please give me some adivce....it will be greatly appreciated!  |
Hi,
Jada needs to know that you are coming back. This takes a while but it does work. You need to practice leaving her several times a day. Starting with only for one Min. Just walk out the door don't look at her, don't acknowledge her, close the door stand on the other side and then wait a min. and walk back in. When you walk back in don't acknowledge her or look at her right away. do this several times a day and change it up sometimes put your coat on sometimes have your keys they are very smart and pick up on your habits. Gradually extend the amount of time before you come back in the room. This could take a while but it will work as long as you are consistent. Good luck.
