Our gracie also has some separation anxiety issues but I think it is also part loneliness. She was used as a breeding dog in her past life before our house and probably was around other dogs on a regular basis.
We use a leash for outside time and she does fine. She gets at least one walk in the am and one in the pm. More on certain days of the week.
My concern is more of the jealousy and sharing of the space that we may encounter |
